Oval Office Makeover

President Donald Trump's return to the White House has resulted in significant changes to the Oval Office's decor. His signature maximalist style, featuring extensive use of gold, is now prominent.

Key Changes

• Rug Replacement: Trump replaced Joe Biden's dark blue rug (originally designed for Bill Clinton) with a lighter rug previously used during his first term.
• Flag Additions: Trump added military flags to the Oval Office, complementing the existing American and Presidential Seal flags.
• Gold Embellishments: Extensive gold detailing has been added to the ceiling trim, fireplace mantle, and walls.
• Portrait Changes: Trump replaced Biden's prominent Franklin D. Roosevelt portrait with one of George Washington and added more portraits to create a gallery wall. He also added historical gold urns and baskets.
• Personal Touches: Gold coasters featuring Trump's name have also been incorporated.

These changes reflect Trump's well-known preference for opulent gold decor, consistent with the style of his other properties, such as Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago.

Further renovations are planned, including transforming the Rose Garden into a patio.
