Plans include transforming this iconic space into a patio-like area, sparking debate over preserving tradition versus embracing Trump’s vision.
Donald Trump is drawing inspiration from his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, to make significant changes to the White House’s Rose Garden.
His plans to pave over this iconic garden reflect a desire for a patio-like area, echoing Mar-a-Lago’s grandeur.
While some see this change as a breath of fresh air, others view it as an unwelcome departure from tradition.
Under Trump’s direction, the Oval Office has already received a distinct makeover, featuring golden cherubs and gilded Rococo mirrors, a testament to Trump’s love for opulence.
Trump aims to extend this vision outdoors by paving over the Rose Garden with limestone or interchangeable hard surfaces, providing a more reliable venue for hosting dignitaries without worries about high heels sinking into soft grass.
In past administrations, each First Family has tailored the White House to reflect their style.
Melania Trump once stated her preference for minimal changes, focusing on the private residence during her husband’s first term.
However, Trump’s current approach shows a bold shift towards creating an atmosphere reminiscent of his personal taste and successes as a developer.
“He’s personally reviewed those blueprints and even met with the curators as he seeks to put his stamp not just on the Oval Office, but really the entire West Wing in general,” said CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
This quote captures the essence of Trump’s ambition to make a lasting impression on every corner of the White House.
One of the most talked-about features of Trump’s renovation initiative involves constructing a new ballroom on the South Lawn.
Echoing the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, this space promises to blend function with splendor.
Trump has pledged to fund the ballroom himself, emphasizing his commitment to leaving a unique legacy.
In a Fox News interview, Trump confirmed his intentions for the Rose Garden, citing practical issues with grassy surfaces during formal events.

“You see the grass outside. So we’re going to make that into a stone surface because you can’t have it,” he reasoned, highlighting the difficulties posed by traditional garden elements in such settings.
The Rose Garden, albeit mostly transformed, will keep its signature roses intact, preserving a link to its storied past.
Yet, the prospect of hardwood floors, potentially installed for dancing, signifies how Trump plans to prioritize entertainment over conventional garden aesthetics.
“The White House has not been given any tender, loving care in many decades, so President Trump is taking necessary steps in order to preserve and restore the greatness and glory of ‘the People’s House,'” stated White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, echoing the administration’s justification for these sweeping changes.
