  • The Oval Office became the central place of every American president since the beginning of the 20th century- It’s a tradition for every incoming president to change the décor in the Oval Office- from the upholstery to the wallpapers. The process is meant to reflect a president’s individual personality and intentions in office, as well as putting their own stamp on the world’s most illustrious room-
    It also reflects how the president sees and represents their own country and how they display the sovereignty of the US to the dignitaries of other countries- as the room is used to meet them and share important messages with the citizens. The Oval Office isn’t just for show- Just like any other office, the presidents also use it for day-to-day work and meetings with the staff.
    As part of their 50th-anniversary celebrations, American Home Shield decided to look back at the Oval Office’s evolution from 1909 to 2021. In 1909- during the West Wing expansion- William Howard Taft decided to move his office from the Roosevelt Room into what’s now arguably the most iconic seat of power in the world.

    I am a history nerd so trust me here - I love this type of stuff but there area a LOT of errors in this video. The offices from Taft to Hoover were in a completely different building that was demolished by Franklin Roosevelt and a completely different West Wing Building (with a resized and relocated Oval Office) was constructed in 1934. The first Oval Office layout (1913 building) only had windows behind the president’s desk, NO GLASS DOORS OR WINDOWS WERE ON THE LEFT SIDE of the original Oval as this animation shows. This animation keeps the same layout for the original and current Oval Office which is completely wrong.
    Kennedy’s office is totally wrong. He had a light blue carpet & drapes for a nautical themed Oval Office. In November 1963 his wife Jackie wanted to see what a red carpet would look like so when the first couple left for a two day Texas Tour on November 21st 1963 the folks at the White House changed the carpet and drapes to red to see if JFK would like it. Very sadly President Kennedy was murdered in front of his wife the next day in Dallas, Texas. JFK would never even get to see his “red Oval Office.” When he returned to the White House he was in a casket. Very sad.

    Fascinating, Carter not only made a sitting area at the far end of the oval office, the norm after Kenedy made that a first, but also chose to place a couch and some chairs in front of his desk to allow ppl he was talking to to be more comfortable. How thoughtful and kind of him. He would have been the only considerate president in this aspect if Trump hadn’t done a half hearted attempt at something similar with a row of four chairs in front of his desk. Carter and Trump have something in common, they both made space for ppl to SIT in front of the president’s desk.

      This is actually a misconception. Both Bill and Monica have said that their interactions happened in an adjacent bathroom outside of the Oval Office, which makes sense as I would imagine the oval being way too public with people barging in at every second. So no “gluck gluck 3000” was given in the oval.

    Kennedy was also the one who brought the resolute desk back into the oval. Jackie found it in a storage room covered with a blanket. It was being used as a camera stand at one point in the Eisenhower Admin. Pres Reagan had 4 inches added to the base because he wanted more leg room underneath.

    By pausing and using my arrow keys to forward and backward, I was able to flip easily between versions and really find interesting changes.

Interesting that no one had a seating arrangement around the fireplace till Kennedy. We might guess that was Jackie's doing.

    I think Nixon’s looked the best, it had a nice contrast and in my opinion blue and yellow go very well together

      It looks like a light orange/almost gold-like color (I guess basically yellow on second thoughts), but I agree, very nice color scheme.
