Hello
I do not understand why you use « la » in this sentence?
Se la estamos decorando.
We are decorating it for him.

La versus Lo
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Spanish pronouns le / les become se when used with lo, la, los, las (indirect with direct pronouns)"
Asked 5 years ago
Hola Sylvie
In these two sentences from the lesson, (meaning the same):
Estamos decorándosela.
We are decorating it for him.
Se la estamos decorando.
We are decorating it for him.
"la" is referring to something, a noun, that is feminine singular, say for example the referent is "la habitación" (the bedroom):
Estamos decorando la habitación de Lucas.
Se la estamos decorando.
Estamos decoránsosela.
If the referent were a masculine singular noun, for example, "el dormitorio" which is also another word for "bedroom" but masculine, we would use the masculine pronoun "lo" instead:
Estamos decorando el dormitorio de Lucas.
Se lo estamos decorando.
Estamos decorándoselo.
I hope this clarifies it for you.
Un saludo
Inma
