Both platforms have a light green trim line with a dark green border and mosaic name tablets reading "CLINTON - WASHINGTON AV." on two lines in white sans-serif lettering on a dark green background and a lighter green border. Beneath the trim line and name tablets are small tile directional signs and station names (alternating between "CLINTON" and "WASHINGTON") in white lettering on a black background. The tiles were part of a color-coded tile system used throughout the IND.[7] The tile colors were designed to facilitate navigation for travelers going away from Lower Manhattan. Because the Crosstown Line does not merge into a line that enters Manhattan at either end, all stations on the line had green tiles.[8][9] Hunter green (previously yellow) I-beam columns run along both platforms at regular intervals, alternating ones having the standard black station name plate in white lettering.
The mezzanine has five murals of artwork, each of different names and artists. They are Night and Day by Jim Porter installed in 1998, Safe Passage by Dan Simmons, an untitled artwork by Maku, Fusion by Jamal Ince installed in 2000, and Mercury by John Woodrow Kelley installed in 2000.

This station has a full length mezzanine above the platforms and tracks supported by yellow I-beam columns. The center of the mezzanine is outside fare control and has a token booth and two street stairs at each end. The ones on the west (railroad south) go up to the northeast and southwest corners of Clinton and Lafayette Avenues while the ones on the east (railroad north) end go up to either eastern corners of Washington and Lafayette Avenues.[10] The center of the mezzanine also has a bank of turnstiles, two exit-only turnstiles, and two staircases going down to each platform.[4]
At either end of the mezzanine are unstaffed entrances/exits containing two exit-only turnstiles, one high entry/exit turnstile, and one staircase to each platform. Both of these fare control areas have a crossover that allow a free transfer between directions. A short staircase is required to reach the center mezzanine from the Clinton Avenue fare control area due to a higher ceiling.[4]
