Product design students teamed up with celebrity interior designer Oliver Heath to transform a Sussex family's home using "upcycled" or discarded furniture and goods.
The challenge was part of a TV report "living for free".
The team of 13 mainly second-year students, who study Product Design with tutors Diane Simpson-Little, Mark Jenkins and Cathy Grundy, spent a week helping to complete the project.
Their efforts can be viewed on Tonight With Trevor McDonald on ITV1 Meridian on Friday, 27 November, at 8pm.
