At TRS Bespoke Interiors, our small team of designers and craftsmen handcraft bespoke media units for homes across Ottery St Mary, each built with expertise and skill, quality materials and a drive to bring your own vision to life, all from our Devon workshop.
Ottery St Mary's homes range from the Georgian buildings along Silver Street and Gold Street to the newer development at Otter View on the edge of town. Every design starts from your specific Ottery St Mary home, built around your individual tastes and the unique characteristics and architectural details of your exact property.
Our workshop sits inland in the Devon countryside, though our craftsmen are regularly out along this stretch of the River Otter, bringing that same dedication to handcrafted excellence into every Ottery St Mary home they visit.
TRULY BESPOKE DESIGNS FOR OTTERY ST MARY HOMES
Ottery St Mary's homes are shaped by centuries 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, while Mill Street's cottages sit closer to the river, with more modest, 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 features properties with more modern layouts and designs.
Whatever form your Ottery St Mary home takes, we can build your bespoke media unit around it.
A bespoke media unit quickly becomes the room everyone gravitates towards, whether that's for a film, watching the football, the kids getting stuck into a game, or just unwinding after a long day with your favourite programme.
Each piece is handcrafted from within our Devon workshop under the direction of Tom Stokes, whose over 15 years of international design and craftsmanship experience have shaped a philosophy rooted in personalisation and unwavering quality standards. 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 OTTERY ST MARY HOMES
Yonder Street's homes often still have their original chimney breast with an alcove either side, a layout that suits a handcrafted fitted media wall built specifically for that existing space.
Coombelands Lane is a little different, with newer homes and open-plan layouts that might need consideration for how the design looks and feels from more than one angle, not just from a single seating position. Every Ottery St Mary home comes with its own unique details, and whatever yours happens to be, we'll build a bespoke creation designed specifically for you and your Ottery St Mary home.
ONLY THE FINEST MATERIALS
For a cottage near Mill Street, that might mean black walnut with hand-finished detailing, paired with custom oak handles and a palette of warm stone and cream tones that sit comfortably against original features. For one of the larger country houses around Gosford, homeowners may prefer a lighter oak with a hand-painted finish, brushed bronze hardware and a touch of fluted detailing for warmth. Whether it's scalloped edges, antique bronze fittings 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 make for our Ottery St Mary homeowners is straightforward: your own taste and the character already built into your home, and getting that right is something we take real pride in. We work only with the finest materials available, hold to unwavering quality standards throughout, and pay the same close attention to every detail, so what you're left with is a piece built to last for generations to come.
UNMATCHED CRAFTSMANSHIP FOR HOMES ACROSS OTTERY ST MARY
From the historic frontages of Broad Street to the quieter Yonder Street, the newer homes around Coombelands Lane and the rural setting of Slade Farm, no two corners of Ottery St Mary 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 routinely becomes the room's focal point, whatever the occasion might be, whether that’s film nights, big matches, or a quiet evening at home. Traditional craftsmanship and modern design skills come together in our approach, giving the finished piece warmth, depth and a cinematic feel that still feels personal to you.
Every Ottery St Mary project starts with getting to know the property itself, well before any actual designing begins, taking in how the light moves through the room across the day and whatever quirks come with an older building or the straightforward lines of something newer. 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 cottage on Yonder Street will be nothing like one built for a home out at Slade Farm, with each Ottery St Mary home having its individual media unit handcrafted entirely around your exact 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 OTTERY ST MARY
-
It's actually a layout we regularly design for, with the alcove giving the fitted wall somewhere natural to sit within the room's existing structure. Cottages like the ones on Paternoster Row 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 around Vicarage Lane are something we're well equipped to design around, favouring a lower-profile piece that works with the existing structure, not against it, always working to bring out the individual character of the space instead of covering it up.
-
Absolutely, open-plan spaces like this are something we're well placed to design for, building a piece that reads well from a few different angles, not just one seating spot.
