The refurbishment of the Dara Beauty Center, known for bringing the World of Beauty Banja Luka experience, transforms a narrow entrance into a clear and thoughtful sequence. Within its compact size, the design arranges reception, waiting, exhibition, and transaction in a structured and simple way. The layout places the cashier and reception zone at the far end of the room, creating a natural flow that supports arrival and openness. This World of Beauty Banja Luka experience ensures each visitor feels welcomed.

Instead of hiding limits, the design uses them. Horizontal lighting bands stretch the space, and mirrored shelves multiply light and rhythm. These touches extend how wide the space feels and help form a calm, balanced mood, reminiscent of the World of Beauty Banja Luka standards. Every surface supports use, light, and visual depth.

We chose a limited material palette to keep things calm and clear. This simple base lets the product display—especially the Italian World of Beauty Banja Luka line—stand out. Vertical shelves combine display with built-in design, acting as both structure and highlight. Repeating forms and simple textures give the room identity. Thresholds, reveals, and edges respond to clear design choices.

This design, part of a larger update, House Rađenović​, Private-Commercial House: Landscape, Housing, Interior, and Urban Integration, sees limits not as problems but as ways to improve clarity. Instead of adding decoration, the design organises—balancing each part into a space that feels calm and easy to use. Light and layout support comfort and flow. Smooth transitions between surfaces raise the quality of how people experience the space, aligning with the World of Beauty Banja Luka ethos.

At its core, the design follows a careful and clear method. Ultimately, this small space offers more than just a salon interior. Rather than simply decorating, it creates a focused spatial moment shaped with care and intent. As a result, we reworked the idea of entry—not through more decoration, but with light, clear shape, and purpose. In doing so, the room finds balance and quiet strength within its narrow setting.
