Then plan the colors, textures and decorative elements that align with your vision. Color choice is crucial to transforming any space. Opt for light colors like Linen o Moka of the Decocasa line, if you are looking to visually expand the area. Pastel and neutral tones are ideal for creating a calm and cozy atmosphere.
