TAt TRS Bespoke Interiors, we handcraft bespoke dressing rooms for homeowners across Ottery St Mary, working within everything from the Georgian townhouses of Silver Street and Gold Street to the riverside cottages of Mill Street and the more contemporary homes at Otter View.
Though our workshop is based inland in the Devon countryside, our craftsmen are regularly on the road over to this part of East Devon, and that same dedication to handcrafted excellence travels with them into every Ottery St Mary home we work in.
TRULY BESPOKE DESIGNS FOR OTTERY ST MARY HOMES
Ottery St Mary's homes are shaped by its long history as a market town on the River Otter. Silver Street and Gold Street hold some of the town's finest Georgian buildings, many with narrow, multi-storey floor plans and original period detail still intact, whilst Mill Street's cottages sit closer to the river, with more compact, traditional room proportions.
Further out, in the hamlet of Gosford and the surrounding countryside, larger Georgian country houses sit on more generous plots, and the newer development at Otter View brings a different kind of home altogether, with regularly proportioned rooms built more recently.
Whatever your Ottery St Mary home's design, we can work with its unique characteristics to create your bespoke dressing room.
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 Ottery St Mary.
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 designed and installed a built-in corner wardrobe for us, he was professional and a generally nice guy from start to finish. We love our wardrobes, they look amazing and are super practical. Looking to use Tom again for our next project and would recommend to anyone. Thanks Tom!“

LOCAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR OTTERY ST MARY HOMES
Many of the Georgian properties along Silver Street and Gold Street are listed buildings, which means structural alterations are limited and any dressing room design needs to work within the existing fabric of the room rather than changing it. In these homes, we typically favour freestanding or lightly fixed solutions that make the most of original proportions without requiring permissions for structural work.
Or perhaps you're a homeowner in one of the cottages along Mill Street, where smaller, more traditional room shapes are common. Whatever your home's layout, we plan the internal configuration carefully to make full use of the available footprint. For homeowners in the larger Georgian country houses around Gosford, or the newer properties at Otter View, there's typically more flexibility to design a dedicated dressing space with room to spare.
Whatever the design of your Ottery St Mary home, we can create a bespoke creation that accommodates all its quirks and uniqueness.
ONLY THE FINEST MATERIALS
Whether the property in question is a Georgian townhouse on Silver Street, a riverside cottage on Mill Street, or a more recently built home at Otter View, the materials we bring into an Ottery St Mary project are always chosen with the same quality standards in mind. That might mean dark walnut or oak veneers, cabinetry finished in a soft stone or camel tone, hardware in a brushed bronze or antique brass finish, or fluted 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 Ottery St Mary 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 OTTERY ST MARY
Silver Street and Gold Street hold some of the town's finest Georgian buildings, many now divided into apartments above ground-floor shops. Mill Street's cottages sit closer to the River Otter, with more traditional proportions, whilst the surrounding countryside around Gosford is home to substantial period country houses set within larger grounds. Every one of these areas brings its own particular proportions and aesthtic for us to work with.
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 Ottery St Mary 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
No matter how you envision your finished dressing room, it's the individual features within it that bring a TRS design to life, each one built around the specifics of your space so the result feels entirely yours, a unique design handcrafted individually by our team exclusively for you.
Our bespoke dressing room designs can include:
Bespoke Wardrobes and Storage: Beautifully handcrafted wardrobe and storage solutions designed and crafted specifically for your dressing room, combining artisan-quality cabinetry with a bespoke internal configuration that is tailored entirely to your wardrobe, your lifestyle and your individual needs.

Bespoke Lighting and Mirrors: Thoughtfully designed and integrated lighting and mirrors that add depth, warmth and a sense of understated luxury to your dressing room space, each one handcrafted in our workshop to complement and enhance your desired end vision.
Bespoke Details: Whether it's oiled bronze glass doors and custom brass handles or blue velvet drawer linings and hand-finished cabinetry ornamentation, every detail is carefully chosen to either accent or enhance the overall design.
Island Units and Seating: For those who want to create the ultimate dressing room experience, our bespoke island units and seating solutions combine unparalleled craftsmanship, exquisite materials and thoughtful design to produce a space that is as practical as it is beautiful to spend time in every single day.
WHY OTTERY ST MARY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE TRS FOR THEIR BESPOKE DRESSING ROOMS
Homeowners in Ottery St Mary are often working with listed Georgian properties in the heart of town, 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 constraints of each building, whether that means a lightly fixed or freestanding approach within a property on Silver Street or a more built-in solution within a cottage on Mill Street.
Whether you're a homeowner in one of the larger country houses around Gosford or a listed building in Gold Street, 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 individual 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 that we are the right people to help bring your vision to life.
