Affordable Renovation in Carabanchel

The project incorporates custom-made furniture, distinctive Castellón tiles, and a modified IKEA kitchen to maximize space and create a sense of openness. By using strategic layouts and carefully selected materials, the renovation offers a refreshing and functional living environment.
