CCI Interior Design students help create dream bedrooms

December 22, 2011

Interior Design students from the University of Glamorgan have helped create dream bedrooms for two lucky children in Newport.

Dani, aged 12, and Megan, aged 7, won the Design Your Ideal Bedroom competition run by Newport City Homes to see their dream bedrooms made a reality.

The housing association enlisted the help of second year BA (Hons) Interior Design students Chloe Baker, Emma Hodge, Joe Luckett and Jonathan Williams to help create the rooms based on the winners’ designs.

Both girls and their families were thrilled with the new look rooms. “Megan’s room hasn’t been redecorated since she was a baby – she is so excited!” said Megan’s mother Victoria.

Interior design award leader Dr Erica Liu coordinated the students during the project. “Working with Newport City Homes on the bedroom makeovers has been great experience for the students” said Erica. “Seeing how happy Dani and Megan were with their new bedrooms was just fantastic!”

Interior design students from the Cardiff School of Creative and Cultural Industries also worked with Newport City Homes earlier this year on an award winning housing project.
