I am a history nerd so trust me here - I love this type of stuff but there area a LOT of errors in this video. The offices from Taft to Hoover were in a completely different building that was demolished by Franklin Roosevelt and a completely different West Wing Building (with a resized and relocated Oval Office) was constructed in 1934. The first Oval Office layout (1913 building) only had windows behind the president’s desk, NO GLASS DOORS OR WINDOWS WERE ON THE LEFT SIDE of the original Oval as this animation shows. This animation keeps the same layout for the original and current Oval Office which is completely wrong. Kennedy’s office is totally wrong. He had a light blue carpet & drapes for a nautical themed Oval Office. In November 1963 his wife Jackie wanted to see what a red carpet would look like so when the first couple left for a two day Texas Tour on November 21st 1963 the folks at the White House changed the carpet and drapes to red to see if JFK would like it. Very sadly President Kennedy was murdered in front of his wife the next day in Dallas, Texas. JFK would never even get to see his “red Oval Office.” When he returned to the White House he was in a casket. Very sad.

I like the carpet Reagan and Trump used, since it looks a little like the Roman Senate. But I also like Biden's because the white and blue contrast well. But I'd probably go for JFK's as my favourite, although I would change the rug colour to something simpler.

Biden’s rug doesn’t match the colour of the room well

Fascinating, Carter not only made a sitting area at the far end of the oval office, the norm after Kenedy made that a first, but also chose to place a couch and some chairs in front of his desk to allow ppl he was talking to to be more comfortable. How thoughtful and kind of him. He would have been the only considerate president in this aspect if Trump hadn’t done a half hearted attempt at something similar with a row of four chairs in front of his desk. Carter and Trump have something in common, they both made space for ppl to SIT in front of the president’s desk. Cool vid.

Donald Trump was the only one to have a line of chairs in front of his desk. He constantly needs an audience.

I like kennedys classiness, simplicity and elegance, also Reagan's and Obama's, Obama's look very clean

I know this is a long shot commenting this but does anyone know the measurements for the fdr Oval Office room for the items inside. I need it for a school project so I was just wondering if you had them.

To be fair, they had to change Clinton's curtains for more than just aesthetics

Thanks for this. It's interesting that JFK made the most substantial changes to the way the space is used. Before him, most of the room is empty and unutilized, and after him, changes to the sofa area really only amount to a bit of tweaking.

Trump has no “peers”, he only has subordinates! Everyone working in his office is a “yes man”. By putting a row of chairs in front of the desk, it’s symbolizing the head honcho barking orders at everyone else. Not an open conversation. The resolute desk wasn’t envisioned as a space for having policy conversations, but rather a symbolic space for appearing before the American people and signing documents. The couch sitting area is more inviting for conversations with “peers”.

nixon's office looks like it has the color scheme of a sports team lmfao

Clinton's looked the best thanks to that big blue carpet. Glad Biden brought that back.

I wonder if they still have that original green carpet in storage somewhere.

Truman be like "yo guys I think we should change the carpet"

Reagan's is great but I think I like Kennedy's the best. Simple, relaxed, and the red carpet is a really classy touch.👍

Just a tip on the transitions. It would be nicer if it didn't move to the side during transitions. Instead just fading or switching would be easier on the eye. What the viewer is wanting to see is what changed and moving the image to the side makes it harder to see things that change since your eye has to jump around. But I like the idea of the video, but could be done better.

Awesome. Thank you.

if i ever became President, i’d make my Oval Office look the way it did back in 1909. :)

It goes from being a office to being a film set with JFK

Why was the door in the front of the desk not shown until Kennedy? Wasn't it added by FDR? And why does it appear only sometimes afterwards?

Gerald Ford's office has the colours of a daycare

Carter, being from Georgia, decorated his office with lots of sitting spaces for lots of people. That's how country people would do it. He was also a nuclear engineer by trade (as well as a farmer) so I wouldn't expect beautiful design from a scientific mind.
