Clinton's gold paired with dark blue carpet (Biden's current look) looks most striking to my mind followed by Obama's red (though I'm not sure that particular red was the best choice) and HWs baby blue.

Dark blue might be interesting or a darker red, but what he has now is a good look since that gold is much better than Trump's less vibrant shade, works well against the blue, and I think his couch choices work better than Clinton's.

I know it's petty but oldtime dfl_er Jan 2021 #1

Those were Clintons, as was the blue rug. He will get to request his own choice for both to be made hlthe2b Jan 2021 #3

I have to agree with you Submariner Jan 2021 #4

The gold drapes were Clintons. Trump's slightly lighter yellow gold drapes were removed. hlthe2b Jan 2021 #6

There are some nasty stains on the wall and moulding behind the MLK bust. lagomorph777 Jan 2021 #34

Perhaps the mark of Big Macs thrown in anger. KY_EnviroGuy Jan 2021 #39

Pretty much what it looks like. lagomorph777 Jan 2021 #41

There's a door there. The stain is from people shutting the door and not using the door knob. marble falls Feb 2021 #51

Ah thanks - that's the hidden door? lagomorph777 Feb 2021 #52

Other than the big ol' door knob it looks very well hidden. marble falls Feb 2021 #53

I totally agree the gold curtains have to go. They're tacky and a symbol of the way Liberal In Texas Jan 2021 #23

I really like the wallpaper. The striped paper that Trump had was gawd-awful hlthe2b Jan 2021 #9

Careful Duppers Jan 2021 #30

Well, there were photos of it with Trump--that's why I edited it from assuming Obama, but regardless hlthe2b Jan 2021 #32

The drapes are Biden's choice. Klaralven Jan 2021 #17

Understood. For me, they are just too reminiscent... 3catwoman3 Jan 2021 #18

The walls, drapes and furniture colors are too reminiscent of "old hotel room". Klaralven Jan 2021 #22

I looked thru the pictures in the link... 3catwoman3 Jan 2021 #44
