The Salvage Squad

Brian Dowling and his fashion-forward design team are on a mission to prove to the nation that you can achieve the home renovation of your dreams without it literally costing the earth. Changing Rooms meets the Repair Shop with a new sustainable twist, the challenge here is to transform our bland old rooms, furniture and fittings into unique and stunning show stoppers, using only upcycling and sustainable methods. This is the home makeover format for the world we live in today, as 2 households per week, each with a team consisting of an interior designer and an up-cycling wiz, have just four days and 1,000 euro to renovate and rejuvenate a tired spaces in their home, filling them with home-made, re-used and revamped furnishings. Two families are selected from the same region each week. Each family has a tired room in need of renovation and re-imagining containing a potential treasure trove of up-cycling gems
