Trump decorated his first-term Oval Office with a beige-patterned rug from the Ronald Reagan era, gold-colored draperies from Bill Clinton's tenure and a lighter, floral wallpaper that replaced a striped wall covering installed by his predecessor, Barack Obama. Trump kept these same designs for his second term.

When NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte visited the White House on Monday, he was greeted not only by President Donald Trump but also by the striking sight of a fully gilded Oval Office.
