unsightly

unattractive / ugly / eyesore
Adjective

This term describes a visual offense that disrupts the aesthetic harmony of a space. It is frequently used in urban planning, gardening, and interior design to describe things that are not necessarily hideous or grotesque, but simply out of place or poorly maintained. Compared to "ugly," which can be a harsh personal judgment or a permanent characteristic, "unsightly" often implies a state of neglect or a temporary condition that could be corrected through cleaning, pruning, or reorganization.
