Coconut wood parquetry covers the floors, carpets are made of coconut fiber and wallpaper from the fibrous sheath.

The Coconut Palace also has a certain notoriety.
(Her shoe collection are now on display at the Marikina Shoe Museum in Manila).
The Coconut Palace was opened for public tours on 2011.
