At TRS Bespoke Interiors, our small team of designers and craftsmen handcraft bespoke media units for homes across Budleigh Salterton, each built with unmatched skill, quality materials and a drive to bring your own vision to life, all from our Devon workshop.
Budleigh Salterton has a diverse range of property types, from the grand Georgian frontages of East Terrace down to the narrower buildings of Fore Street with flats tucked above the shops. Every design starts from the home itself, built around your own taste and whatever makes your particular property what it is, wherever in Budleigh Salterton that happens to be.
Our workshop stays rooted inland in the Devon countryside, though our craftsmen are frequently out along this stretch of the Jurassic Coast, carrying that same dedication to handcrafted excellence into every Budleigh Salterton home we visit.
TRULY BESPOKE DESIGNS FOR BUDLEIGH SALTERTON HOMES
East Terrace holds onto some of the most beatiful Georgian townhouses in Budleigh Salterton, many with tall sash windows framing the sea beyond, while Fore Street's buildings sit much closer together, narrower, with shops at street level and flats built in above.
Further along, the Victorian villas on Coastguard Road tend to sit back from the water with slightly more conventional rooms, while out towards Little Knowle, the newer builds offer a completely different scale, open and evenly proportioned throughout.
No matter what shape or style your Budleigh Salterton home takes, we can build a bespoke media unit around it.
A bespoke media unit has a habit of becoming the room's main draw, the spot where loved ones curl up for a film, mates come round for the football, the kids disappear into a game for hours, or you finally sit down after a long day to watch your favourite programme.
Everything is made by hand in our Devon workshop, led by Tom Stokes, whose 15-plus years of design and craftsmanship experience across New Zealand and the UK sit behind the unmatched design expertise built into every piece. Traditional hand skills are brought together with modern craft techniques, producing a finish that effortlessly becomes the centrepiece of any room it's in.
Discreet cable storage and extra drawer space keep the finished piece feeling organised and uncluttered while still incorporating a stunning focal point that reflects your unique style and tastes.
"Tom did a fantastic job for me. He thought long and hard about the best way to build my shelves. I wanted floating shelves; they are even better than I imagined. He's also an easy person to have around. Thanks, Tom!"

LOCAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR BUDLEIGH SALTERTON HOMES
Homes around Raleigh Road often still have their original chimney breast with an alcove either side, and it's a layout that works nicely for a fitted media wall built straight into that existing space, keeping the design in step with proportions the room already has instead of competing with them. Many of these homes also still have their original coving and skirting intact, so cabling and fixings get planned carefully around those details from the outset, not the other way round.
Otterton Road is a bit different again, with a mix of bungalows and later extensions that tend to bring lower ceilings and tighter living rooms, so the design there needs to sit quietly and make good use of what room there is. Every Budleigh Salterton home comes with its own quirks, and whatever yours happens to be, we'll build a bespoke creation designed specifically for you and your home.
ONLY THE FINEST MATERIALS
For a Victorian villa on Coastguard Road, that might mean rift-sawn oak with hand-finished detailing, paired with brushed brass hardware and a palette of warm stone and taupe tones that sit comfortably against tall period windows. For an apartment near Marine Parade, homeowners may prefer a lighter cherry with a hand-painted finish, brushed bronze hardware and a touch of fluted detailing for warmth. Whether it's scalloped edges, custom oak handles or a simple, pared-back finish, each design detail and element is 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, depending on whatever you desire.
What guides every bespoke media unit we build for our Budleigh Salterton homeowners is simple: your individual taste, the available space and layout we have to work with, and what makes your home unique and gives it charm. We remain committed to sourcing only the finest materials available to us, maintaining our unwavering attention to detail and our uncompromising quality standards throughout, so your finished media unit brings together lasting beauty and durability for a design built to serve you for years to come.
UNMATCHED CRAFTSMANSHIP FOR HOMES ACROSS BUDLEIGH SALTERTON
From the seafront elegance of West Terrace to the quieter Salting Hill, the terraced houses of Copplestone Lane and the pocket of homes around Granary Lane, no two streets in Budleigh Salterton quite look alike, and the homes within them carry just as much variety. Every one of these areas brings its own charm, character and individual proportions that we take into account each and every time.
A bespoke media wall tends to become wherever the room happens to gather, whether that's for a film, the football, or just a quiet night in. Our approach pairs real craftsmanship with more modern methods to build something that feels warm, layered and lived-in, giving the room its own cinematic touch without losing the personal touch.
Every Budleigh Salterton project we take on begins with time spent getting to know the home itself, from how the light shifts through the room across the day to whatever quirks come with an older building or the cleaner lines of something newer. Only once that groundwork is done do we start designing, so the finished piece feels like it's always sat there, built by hand around how you and your loved ones actually use the room.
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 dressing room that instantly adds a sense of understated luxury and timeless elegance to your space, we can design one-of-a-kind spaces for the whole home. From bespoke home studies and alcove units to bespoke storage in hallways, boot rooms and utility rooms, we can workshop whatever you envision; our dedicated team of skilled craftsmen and designers can handcraft whatever you envision from within our Exeter-based workshop – it just starts with a conversation.
BESPOKE MEDIA UNIT FEATURES
Every aspect of your living space is considered as part of our bespoke media unit design process. A media unit built for a flat above the shops on Fore Street will be nothing like one built for a newer home near Little Knowle, and that's exactly the point; each design is built entirely around the room it's going into and the way you plan to use it.
Bespoke media unit features can include anything from:
Fitted Media Walls: Handcrafted media walls built specifically for your room, pairing handcrafted cabinetry with discreet cable management designed entirely around your setup and your needs.
Bespoke Storage and Cabinetry: From secret pivot doors and hidden compartments to open shelving and handcrafted cabinetry, every piece is uniquely designed for your specific needs and use cases while adding a sense of personality and elegance that effortlessly serves as the room’s focal point.
Integrated Lighting: Lighting solutions built into the design itself, bringing warmth and a sense of subtle drama to the finished piece that makes any viewing experience feel truly cinematic.
Bespoke Luxury Features: Elevate your bespoke media unit to that of luxury through any handcrafted design features you desire, whether that's a sleek fireplace, a handmade concealed home bar, discrete integrated charging stations or solid wood panelling. These enhancements tie your media unit into the rest of the room, each one hand made in our Devon workshop to your precise specifications.
Floating and Wall-Mounted Units: For a lighter, more contemporary feel, our floating and wall-mounted media units pair fine materials with clever design to keep the look effortless and uncluttered.
WHY BUDLEIGH SALTERTON HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE TRS FOR THEIR BESPOKE MEDIA UNITS

It doesn't matter if you're along West Terrace or over on Otterton Road, the care and respect that goes into the design stays exactly the same, built to fit your exact room without ever losing that sense of being made specifically for your own home.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR BESPOKE MEDIA IN BUDLEIGH SALTERTON
-
Definitely, lower ceilings like the ones you get around Salting Hill are something we can design around, going for a lower-profile piece that sits comfortably in the room instead of dominating it. We look at every detail this way, making sure every design component is carefully thought through, keeping your satisfaction and our own unmoving high standards a priority the whole way through.
-
Absolutely, open-plan spaces like the ones common near Knowle Village are something we design for regularly, building a piece that reads well from a few different angles, not just one seating spot. We put the same care into every detail here too, keeping your satisfaction and our own high standards at the centre of the process.
-
Of course; the alcove gives the fitted media wall design somewhere natural to sit within the room's existing structure, without needing a standalone piece to compete for space, an approach we can accomodate in your personalised style. Homes like the ones on Copplestone Lane are a good example of this, and we build around what's already there from the outset, with the room's existing design and your end vision guiding our every decision.
