STUDENTS and staff at a college for visually impaired people have praised the transformation of their common room.
Local business KD Carpets donated and fitted the £400 carpet at Henshaws College, in Harrogate, with help from students.
The company has worked extensively with the college in the past 15 years, helping its community housing scheme.
Sales manager Dave Newman said: "It is a great pleasure to be in a position to support the college.
"It is a wonderful project and we had a great time at Henshaws working alongside the students."
The rest of the common room was made-over in a day-long challenge earlier in the year with the help of volunteers from PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The aim of the makeover was to transform the common room and barbecue area at Henshaws College into a bright, tactile place. The flooring provides the finishing touch to the room, where students can socialise and enjoy their independence.
Student Chris Owen said: "It is a really nice carpet and very bright. We are happy to have our common room finished at last."
