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.
