At TRS Bespoke Interiors, our small team of designers and craftsmen handcraft bespoke media units for homes across Chudleigh, each built with skill, quality materials and a drive to bring your own vision to life, all from our Devon workshop.
Chudleigh's homes range from the historic buildings along Fore Street to the quieter, more recently built properties around Culver Close. Every design starts from your own home, built around your taste and the unique architectural details of your specific property, wherever in Chudleigh you happen to live.
Our workshop sits inland in the Devon countryside, though our craftsmen are regularly out around this part of Devon near Dartmoor, bringing that same dedication to handcrafted excellence into every Chudleigh home they visit.
TRULY BESPOKE DESIGNS FOR CHUDLEIGH HOMES
Chudleigh is home to a variety of architectural styles that speak to centuries of steady change. Fore Street preserves much of the town’s oldest charm, its narrow shopfronts and buildings having stood for generations, while Old Exeter Street, a little further out, features broader, more expansive proportions of the Georgian era.
Along Clifford Street, the Victorian terraces bring more traditional room layouts, and out towards Culver Close, the newer homes offer larger, more evenly proportioned rooms altogether.
Whatever form your Chudleigh home takes, we can build your bespoke media unit around it.
A bespoke media unit has a way of becoming the social hub of the house, whether that's for film nights, watching the football, the kids losing themselves in a game, or just settling in after a long day with your favourite show on the screen.
Tom Stokes oversees every piece from our Devon workshop, drawing on more than 15 years of design and craftsmanship experience across New Zealand and the UK, and that experience is what shapes each design and the expertise behind each bespoke creation. Traditional craftsmanship skills are brought together with modern design 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 CHUDLEIGH HOMES
Chudleigh was largely rebuilt after the fire of 1807, so much of the town centre is Georgian and Regency, and a lot of those buildings are listed. That limits where cabling can run and what can be altered, so we design around it from the start, working with existing skirting, cornicing and period joinery.
If you live on Fore Street or Old Exeter Street, we can make a unit to suit the proportions of a Georgian townhouse, including chimney breast alcoves and sash windows. For the newer larger homes on the edge of town and in Chudleigh Knighton, we can build a media wall that works in an open-plan space and looks good from every angle. For cottages on the older lanes, we can fit around uneven walls and low ceilings. Whatever the details and features of your Chudleigh home, we can create a bespoke media wall to suit.
ONLY THE FINEST MATERIALS
For a Georgian building on Old Exeter Street, 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 complements the overall design, working with the tall period windows. For a Victorian terrace on Clifford Street, homeowners may prefer a lighter cherry with a fumed finish, antique bronze hardware and a touch of scalloped detailing for warmth and depth. Whether it's fluted cabinetry, 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, whatever you desire.
Every bespoke media unit we build for our Chudleigh homeowners is crafted entirely around your taste and whatever makes your home architecturally distinct, and getting that right means routinely surpassing your expectations. Only the finest materials feature in our designs, with each team member handcrafting bespoke media walls with care, attention to detail, and all in a way that upholds our uncompromising quality standards throughout, so the piece you're left with is one built to last for generations to come.
UNMATCHED CRAFTSMANSHIP FOR HOMES ACROSS CHUDLEIGH
From the quieter homes along Ashton Road to the newer streets near Rock Road, the residential stretch of Waterleat Road and the homes around Harewood Road, no two corners of Chudleigh 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 almost always turns into a place where everyone naturally comes together, whether that’s film nights, big matches, or a quiet evening at home. Our approach brings together traditional craftsmanship with more modern design techniques to build something warm, layered and lived-in, so the finished piece feels personal as well as cinematic.
Every Chudleigh project begins with time spent getting to know the property itself, well before any actual designing starts, taking in how the light moves through the room across the day and whatever quirks come with an older building or the modern aesthetic of a newer build. That groundwork is what lets the finished piece feel like it's always belonged there, handcrafted around how you and your loved ones actually spend your time in 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 home on Waterleat Road will be nothing like one built for a cottage along Harewood Road, with each Chudleigh home having its bespoke media unit handcrafted by our craftsmen, entirely around your specific room’s layout and design, with consideration for your individual needs and routines.
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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR BESPOKE MEDIA IN CHUDLEIGH
-
It's a layout we can, of course, design for, with the alcove giving the media wall a natural place to sit within the room's existing structure. Cottages like the ones near Denbury Road often feature these design elements, and each time we work in such spaces, we build around what's already there from the outset, with your satisfaction and our own high standards guiding every decision.
-
Not at all, older buildings with low ceilings like the ones you find around Chudleigh Knighton are something we're well equipped to design around, favouring a lower-profile piece that works with the existing structure.
If you’re in a Grade II listed house on Fore Street, for example, we can also cut the outer edges tightly to your original skirting boards and cornices using non-invasive tension fittings.
We are always working to bring out the individual character of the space instead of covering it up.
-
Yes, easily, and we can avoid mounting heavy kit directly into old, fragile plaster or cob. Instead, we can build a self-supporting timber stud frame that anchors directly into your floor joists and ceiling timbers. This shifts the weight away from the walls completely. We can also leave a rear ventilation gap so your stone can breathe, preventing damp or cold spots behind the electronics. Every element is entirely bespoke to match your cottage's exact dimensions.
