Under President Donald Trump, the White House will have new carpets, chairs with clawed feet, and plenty of golden eagles for decorations.

The White House has been troubled by leaking fixtures and an infestation of flies according to CNN. During his time as Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus was reportedly summoned by Trump to kill a fly in the oval office. 

The technical renovations, which were initiated under President Barack Obama, included upgrades the White House's heating, ventilation, air-conditioning system, and IT systems along with a major rehaul of the Oval Office, West Wing, mess hall, and outdoor spaces.

Many of the rooms are also undergoing stylistic renovations to better fit Trump's personal decorative preferences for a "patriotic" look.

Here is what the latest round of Trump-style White House renovations looks like:

As part of the renovations, decorators changed up furniture, wallpaper, rugs, and statues in some of the White House's most prominent rooms.

The new look, which was based on Trump's personal preferences, took three weeks and nearly 200 workers.

But the pièce-de-résistance were the golden eagles throughout the West Wing — they are supposed to symbolize Trump's patriotic side.

But as Trump is currently designing his own floor covering, it is possible that the look of the Oval Office will change again.
