At TRS Bespoke Interiors, we handcraft bespoke dressing rooms for homeowners across Kingsbridge, working within everything from the Georgian and Victorian townhouses of Fore Street and the Quay to the Edwardian houses of Westville and the more contemporary homes set towards West Alvington.
Though our workshop is based inland in the Devon countryside, our craftsmen are regularly on the road into this part of the South Hams, and that same dedication to handcrafted excellence travels with them into every Kingsbridge home we work in.
TRULY BESPOKE DESIGNS FOR KINGSBRIDGE HOMES
Kingsbridge grew up as a working market town at the head of its estuary, and the housing stock still reflects that history. Tall Georgian townhouses line Fore Street and the streets close to the old quay, many with narrow floor plans and multiple storeys, whilst Westville's Edwardian grid of terraces, laid out around the old railway station, offers more consistent, squared-off room proportions.
Further out, towards West Alvington and Churchstow, the properties tend to be larger and more recently built, with rooms designed from the outset with more generous storage in mind.
This mix of a tightly packed historic centre and more spacious outlying areas means a bespoke dressing room in Kingsbridge is rarely a case of applying the same layout twice.
A tall, narrow Georgian bedroom needs a very different approach to a modern extension on the edge of town, and every design we create is built entirely around your individual tastes and your unique home's architectural characteristics rather than a fixed template.
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 Kingsbridge.
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 KINGSBRIDGE HOMES
Working in the older part of Kingsbridge, particularly around Fore Street and Duncombe Street, often means designing within tall, narrow townhouses where bedrooms can be an awkward shape and ceiling heights vary from floor to floor. In these properties, we focus on building storage vertically, making full use of the height available rather than trying to force a wide, low layout into a room that doesn't suit it.
Westville's Edwardian terraces present a different challenge, with smaller, more uniform bedrooms that need every inch carefully planned out to fit a proper dressing room without encroaching on the rest of the space. For homeowners further out towards West Alvington and Churchstow, where properties tend to sit on larger plots with more recent extensions, we often have the freedom to design bigger, more open dressing spaces, sometimes as a dedicated room rather than a converted one.
ONLY THE FINEST MATERIALS
Whether the property in question is a Georgian townhouse close to Fore Street, an Edwardian terrace in Westville, or a more recently built home towards Churchstow, the materials we bring into a Kingsbridge 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 ash or walnut veneers, cabinetry finished in a soft camel or cream tone, hardware in a warm brass or matt black, or smoked glass detailing, each one chosen to bring a sleek, modern feel to the finished space and to earn its place within the design rather than simply filling a specification sheet.
Every homeowner we work with in Kingsbridge 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 KINGSBRIDGE
Fore Street and the streets around the old quay hold some of Kingsbridge's finest Georgian and Victorian buildings, many with tall ceilings and original period detail still intact. Westville's Edwardian terraces, set around the former railway line, offer a more uniform grid of family homes, whilst properties further out towards Prospect Place and West Alvington tend to be larger, with more modern layouts and generous outdoor space. Every one of these homes brings its own particular proportions and history 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 Kingsbridge 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.

WHY KINGSBRIDGE HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE TRS FOR THEIR BESPOKE DRESSING ROOMS
Homeowners in Kingsbridge are often working with tall, narrow period properties in the town centre, and this is exactly the kind of layout our design process is built to handle. Rather than offering a standard fitted solution, we measure and design around the actual proportions of the room, whether that means building storage vertically within a Georgian townhouse or fitting a fully considered layout into a smaller Edwardian bedroom in Westville.
For homeowners further out towards West Alvington and Churchstow, where properties tend to have more space to work with, 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.
