A Replica Oval Office Near the White House Just Got a New Trump Makeover. Gold Flourishes Abound
The White House Historical Association added Trump-style gilded decor and a copy of the Resolute Desk to the full-scale replica for visitors.
- On Friday, October 2, 2026, workers at 'The People's House: A White House Experience' in Washington completed an update to their replica Oval Office, reflecting President Donald Trump's second-term design choices.
- A crew of 25 people worked from Monday through Friday to transform the exhibit, which previously mirrored the design of Democratic President Joe Biden. The team finalized the second-term makeover on Saturday.
- Designers recreated Trump's rococo flourishes, including 24 portraits in heavy gilded frames, while crews used a paint solution instead of gold leaf to prevent wear-and-tear from visitors moving through the space.
- Recently defending his attempt to ban CNN, MS Now and Politico from the grounds, Trump described the White House as 'my' house, reflecting his strong sense of personal ownership over the building.
- Seeking to leave his mark, Trump has pursued multiple renovations including a $400 million ballroom project and recently asked his chief of staff to designate his altered office a federal landmark.
