The White House is the country's most famous address, yes, but for the First Family it has to feel like a home. So with each new administration, the White House undergoes a major decor overhaul. Trump has already started to add his gold-loving personal touch, and it was recently announced that Melania Trump has officially hired Tham Kannalikham to redecorate the White House living quarters.
