Finishing
If the space has already been decorated and there are no plans to change the set, you can add colors to the decoration. Painting all or one wall in contrasting mint is a great idea! Select paint for aggressive environments so that the walls can be easily washed later.
In the cooking area, you can go a little further by replacing, for example, the tiles on the floor. But you shouldn’t paint the ceiling - there is a high probability of simplifying the interior and making it “too turquoise”.
