The new residential showroom was custom-designed by Vanessa Deleon—a well-known New York-based interior designer, lifestyle expert, television celebrity and True Brand Ambassador. The space features three vignettes of different design aesthetics (traditional, transitional and modern), a center island showcasing True’s outdoor applications, and a wall-sized “Build Your True” display featuring the company’s new color finishes and hardware options.

“I wanted to create an innovative, forward-thinking space that tells a story with True’s refrigerators and freezers at the forefront. Each beautiful vignette relates to a different design genre, featuring show-stopping cabinets and gorgeous countertops without taking away from the appliances,” said Deleon. “Specific, little details like the steel doorframe to complement the stainless, or gold knobs to pair with True’s new matte black finish and copper hardware, truly celebrate their products.”
