Truluck’s Washington DC

Ocean’s Finest Seafood & Crab Restaurant

Role: Interior Designer

Project Type: Remodel, New Location within Existing Structure

Project Goals: Truluck’s latest location expanded to Washington DC and the client wanted to update their classic design from the previous locations. Traditionally utilizing full height mahogany wood paneling, they decided to pursue an updated but timeless look. The solution resolved with bringing the mahogany down to a wainscot to anchor the space and contrast with neutral wall covering’s, trim and paint. This approach allows for the light to bounce around and expand the space. The classic carpet previously used also called for an all new design and color palette. With such neutrality on the vertical plane, it allowed for loud splashes of vibrant color and pattern on the horizontal. The result is a fresh and bright material scheme harmoniously balanced in neutrality, contrast and color.
