It's going to look tacky. You've seen what he's done to the Oval Office. It'll be $230M for that slap-dash look of awful design populated with gilded nonsense to try seem classy.
CNN called it 'Temu Versailles' the other day, seems very apt.
I call it "dollar store-baroque," that act of taking a piece of furniture, painting it white (or sometimes black) and sticking a bunch of golden trims and floral decorations on it. It's what people with little money and less taste get/do when they want their place to look classy. So of course Trump is doing it to the White House.
It's called "Dictator Chic".
What did he do to the Oval Office? I'm not sure I could picture it before but I certainly haven't seen it recently.
