Inside the Homes of Our Politicians: A Peek at Their Decor

This summer, the news is buzzing with election drama. From turmoil in France for Mr. Macron with the far-right to old Joe Biden nearly coming to blows with Donald Trump on TV, it's been an eventful season. And let's not forget Mr. Starmer, who might soon be redecorating Number 10 after Rishi Sunak's Tory party faces a potential defeat.

Donald Trump's Gaudy Extravaganza

Have you ever wondered what the decor is like in our politicians' homes? Let's start with Donald Trump. I imagine his abode is filled with gaudy bling and statues, reflecting his larger-than-life persona. Picture easy-read Superman comics scattered around and a DIY book titled “Wall Building for Beginners” prominently displayed on the shelf. The decor probably screams opulence with gold accents and luxurious furnishings, reminiscent of his famous Trump Tower.

Joe Biden's Homely Charm

On the other hand, Joe Biden's home likely exudes a different kind of charm. Think Burmese mahogany sideboards displaying Native American artifacts, signifying his respect for diverse cultures. Biden’s home could have a cozy, lived-in feel, with family photos on the walls and a well-worn recliner in the living room. It’s easy to imagine a space that combines comfort with subtle elegance, reflecting his down-to-earth personality.

Keir Starmer's Modern Makeover

And what about Keir Starmer? If he were to take residence in Number 10, he might bring a modern touch to the historic home. Imagine him steaming the Indian flock paper from the walls, opting for a sleek, contemporary design instead. Minimalist furniture, clean lines, and perhaps a splash of bold color here and there could define his style. Starmer’s decor might aim to project a forward-thinking and progressive image.

It's fascinating to think about how the personal spaces of these influential figures reflect their public personas. While we may never get a full tour of their homes, it's interesting to imagine the stories their decor could tell. So, as we watch the political drama unfold this summer, let's also have a little fun picturing the unique styles that define their living spaces AND make yours different.
