At TRS Bespoke Interiors, we handcraft bespoke dressing rooms for homeowners across Exton, working within everything from the substantial detached homes positioned along the estuary edge to the more traditional properties set back within the village, along with homes in the neighbouring settlement of Lympstone.
Though our workshop is based inland in the Devon countryside, our craftsmen are regularly on the road down to this stretch of the Exe Estuary, and that same dedication to handcrafted excellence travels with them into every Exton home we work in.
TRULY BESPOKE DESIGNS FOR EXTON HOMES
Exton is a small, sought-after village shaped almost entirely by its position on the water, and the housing reflects this in a number of ways. Properties positioned directly along the estuary tend to be substantial and often architect-designed, built to make the most of the view across the water, whilst homes set back a little further into the village hold onto more traditional proportions and period detail.
Further along towards Woodbury and Ebford, the housing stock opens out again, with larger, more recently built family homes on bigger plots. Whatever your Exton home's design, we can work with its unique characteristics to create your bespoke dressing room.
A period property set back from the water calls for a very different approach to a contemporary house built around estuary views, and every design we create is built entirely around your individual tastes and your unique home's architectural characteristics, meaning no templates or standard configurations.
Tom Stokes founded TRS Bespoke Interiors after building over 15 years of design and craftsmanship experience across projects in both New Zealand and the UK, and it's this breadth of knowledge that continues to shape the unmatched design expertise behind every dressing room our team creates for homeowners in Exton.
Every piece leaves our Devon workshop having been shaped by hand, bringing traditional craft skills together with more contemporary techniques, so that each design carries the kind of unparalleled craftsmanship built to serve you and your loved ones well for decades of daily use.
"Tom and the team at TRS designed and built us a bespoke media unit and walk-in wardrobe for our new build home. From start to finish, the design process through to a workshop visit to choose finishes and colours felt like a true collaboration of our ideas with his expertise. The quality of the work is excellent, and during the installation process, his team were polite and professional and left the house as clean as they found it. Highly recommend Tom and all at TRS."

LOCAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR EXTON HOMES
The larger, architect-designed properties directly along the estuary often feature open-plan layouts, and a dressing room here needs to be designed to sit comfortably alongside that sense of openness, without feeling like a separate, boxed-in addition to the room. In these homes, we frequently incorporate features such as an island unit or seating area, making the most of the additional space these properties tend to offer.
The more traditional properties set back within the village bring a different set of considerations, often with smaller, more conventional bedrooms where a carefully planned fitted layout makes better use of the available footprint. Or perhaps you're a homeowner in the newer developments towards Ebford, where rooms tend to be more regularly proportioned; no matter where you are in Exton, we can design a dedicated dressing space designed for your individual home, accommodating each and every unique quirk and architectural detail.
ONLY THE FINEST MATERIALS
Whether the property in question sits directly along the estuary, a little further back within the village, or closer towards Woodbury, the materials we bring into an Exton project are always chosen with the same standard in mind, selected as much for the way they will age and last as for how they look on the day of installation. That might mean warm oak or ash veneers, cabinetry finished in a soft stone or taupe tone, hardware in a matt black or warm brass finish, or smoked glass detailing, each one chosen to bring a sleek, modern feel or timeless authenticity to the finished space and to earn its place within the design in a way that helps bring your vision to life.
Every homeowner we work with in Exton has their own sense of what makes a space feel right, and it's this individuality that drives our material choices from project to project. Our unwavering attention to detail and our uncompromising quality standards are carried through every stage of sourcing and construction, so the dressing room you're left with brings together lasting beauty and durability for a design built to serve you for years to come.
UNMATCHED CRAFTSMANSHIP FOR HOMES ACROSS EXTON
The properties positioned directly along the estuary tend to be substantial, often architect-designed to make the most of the view across the water, whilst homes set back a little further into the village hold onto more traditional proportions and period detail. Just along the water towards Lympstone and inland towards Woodbury, the housing architecture diversifies further still, and each of these areas brings its own particular layout and setting to the table.
We understand the dressing room serves as the heart of personal style, where confidence is built and individual expression is celebrated. TRS's bespoke approach combines expert craftsmanship with modern techniques to create designs that are elegant, layered with warmth, and made to be lived in.
Every project we take on in Exton starts with time spent understanding the property itself, from the way light moves through the room across the day to the particular quirks of a period building or the clean lines of something more recently built. It's only once we understand the home properly that we begin designing, so the finished dressing room feels as though it was always meant to be there, handcrafted specifically around the way you and your loved ones actually live.
FOR THE WHOLE HOME
Whether you’re looking for a bespoke kitchen with stunning veined Calacatta marble, handcrafted rift-sawn oak veneer bathroom cabinetry, or a bespoke media unit that instantly becomes the focal point of the room, we can design one-of-a-kind spaces for the whole home. From bespoke home studies, living room furniture and alcove units to bespoke storage in hallways, boot rooms and utility rooms, we can create whatever you envision, handcrafted from within our Exeter-based workshop by our dedicated team of skilled craftsmen and designers – it just starts with a conversation.
BESPOKE DRESSING ROOM FEATURES
Every bespoke dressing room we design for Exton homes can include whichever features you have in mind, with every element of your existing space taken into account, so the finished result feels completely cohesive and turns the room into something truly one of a kind.

WHY SIDMOUTH HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE TRS FOR THEIR BESPOKE DRESSING ROOMS
Homeowners in Exton are often working with substantial, architect-designed properties along the estuary, and this is exactly the kind of project our design process is built to handle. Rather than offering a standard fitted solution, we design around the specific character of the room, whether that means integrating a dressing room within an open-plan layout with extensive glazing and large floor-to-ceiling window fronts or fitting a more traditional built-in solution within a period property set back from the water.
Or whether you're a homeowner in the newer properties towards Woodbury, we bring the same level of care to designing larger, more open dressing rooms without losing the sense that the design was made specifically for that home.
Our immersive 3D design service also means you can walk through your new dressing room, room by room and angle by angle, long before any of it has been built, giving you complete confidence in the design well ahead of the first cut being made.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR BESPOKE DRESSING ROOMS IN EXTON
-
We plan the layout to work with your unique space and design features. For extensive glazing and large expansive window fronts, this can include integrating functional zones, like building a standalone, partition-style dressing suite behind a bed or within an open-plan master layout, and working to maximise the use of the natural light, often positioning storage away from the glazed walls and using the open aspect to inform where lighting and mirrors sit, so the finished dressing room feels aligned with the feel and design of the rest of your Exton home.
-
Yes, this is a common layout in Exton's more traditional properties, and we design a fully fitted solution specific to the room's proportions, making sure every inch of the available space is used well without the room feeling overfilled.
-
It can mean there's more flexibility in the layout since the proportions tend to be more regular, such as newer builds near Woodbury, though we still measure and design the space individually rather than applying a standard template, so the finished dressing room is built specifically around how you'll use it.
