Designer Darija Ilevičiūtė Zaveckienė has transformed a compact 21-square-meter apartment in Vilnius into a unique living space by prioritizing pre-owned items over new furniture. The apartment, situated in a former administrative building, also boasts a nearly 10-square-meter terrace.

Zaveckienė approached the renovation with an experimental mindset, opting for unconventional solutions. Instead of sourcing furniture and finishing materials from typical showrooms, she skillfully adapted used items and materials. This approach has imbued the small, simple space with a distinctive and personal character.

The project in the former administrative premises served as a personal experiment for Zaveckienė. By repurposing existing elements, she managed to create an interior that stands out, demonstrating that even small spaces can be made exceptional with creativity and a focus on sustainability.
