As not only the first female vice president but the first Black female vice president, Kamala Harris is blazing her own path in government. During every vice presidential term, that officeholder takes over the vice president’s residence in Washington, D.C., and redesigns it to fit their personal preferences.
As previously reported by theGrio, Harris tapped renowned interior designer and fellow Black woman Sheila Bridges to design her official residence. Recognized for her vibrant and intricately layered design perspective influenced by architectural and historical cues, Bridges combined the home’s traditional look with Harris’ modern aesthetic. Among the many changes made in the home, the library is one of the most notable.
“This room, for many years, had a very dark forest green and then a lime green striped wallpaper,” Harris told People magazine. “And I decided to change it up a bit. I think that this color, which is almost a fuchsia pink, is also a color of power and it’s also warm. And so, in some ways, I guess we’ve been challenging notions about what power looks like.”
The vice president also shared that the pink office is one of her favorite rooms in the home, especially for family bonding. While some may think the room’s color choice was inspired by Harris’ ties to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Bridges explained that the pink was inspired by the property’s crepe myrtle tree blossoms.
“The trees are right outside the library and I wanted to bring that color inside,” Bridges told the Washington Post. “It’s important to have a dialogue between the landscape, architecture and interior.”
Despite that room’s vibrancy, the rest of the home’s walls follow a neutral color palette chosen to reflect Harris’ hometown, California, and modern aesthetic.

🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Don’t forget Harris. Jamaican and Non-Native America Indian.
Blew? Thanks for the laugh.
This is all wonderful but your meathead Harris failed all of the czar positions the old white boy assigned to her. Pink might be her power color but it doesn’t work for chit.
She must have pink knee pads.
Gibbering idiots at play.
Fluffy language. The number of superlatives rivals that in an old Sunset House catalog.
How come there are no pictures??
Wait are you saying he likes pink too?
Can’t hardly wait to see what a mess the ‘Christmas Decor’ is at the White House this year. ‘Dr. Jill’ received the tree on Nov. 20th to little fanfare.
Brandon did not participate, even though he was promised an Eggnog. *SMIRK*
She surrounded herself with military families, which must’ve made her skin crawl.
