The Prince and Princess of Wales are admired worldwide for their charity work and public service (not to mention Princess Kate's enviable wardrobe), so it's only right that their taste in home decor would be much in demand, too.

William and Kate are no doubt lucky enough to have inherited a collection of classic furniture, though it's clear they have a passion for it, having chosen traditional armchairs and ornate tables and cabinets to furnish the living room. The couple were even given a handmade rocking horse by the Obamas, for their son George – which fits in perfectly with the luxurious decor. Visit your local antique dealer, and even check out eBay, to find similar items second-hand.

Fresh flowers
The Prince and Princess are obviously fans of pretty floral arrangements, as the blossoming displays are featured throughout their reception room. It is not known who the couple favour to put together the blooms for their home, but their wedding florist Simon Lycett is listed as one of the palace's official suppliers.
Classical paintings

Of the two spectacular wall paintings, one – on the wall behind Kate and Michelle – is thought to be an original by dutch painter Melchior de Hondecoeter, who was known for depicting animals in his work. Take inspiration and house your own artwork in ornate golden frames, just like William and Kate.

Statement cushions
As Prince William sits and chats with President Obama, we can see that while the couple have opted for neutral furniture in their plush tassled sofas, they've chosen a variety of cushions in different textures and styles to compliment them. Here we can see a floral printed cushion, a large olive green velvet cushion and a smaller red cushion, which appears to have golden details.
