The whole apartment is decorated in 24k gold, from the vases to lamps and furniture. The marble walls and Corinthian columns have rococo style swirls and curls with a touch of gold on crown mouldings in every room.

To add to the grandeur of the place, the furniture is inspired by eighteenth century embellishments with curves and floral motifs sculptured in the wood. These kinds of designs can be found on the edges of the chairs and sofas, in the frames of expensive wall art, on Melania’s work desk and on several tables placed around the apartment.
Trump clearly has a taste for showy displays of wealth, and wanted enunciate the classical ambience by having some ceilings painted on the theme of Greek mythology. In fact, over the marble fireplace in the sitting room is a painting of Apollo, the powerful God, in a chariot led by Aurora.
