How we make wall beds for Harrow
A wall bed, sometimes called a Murphy bed, lifts up into a cabinet during the day and comes down when it’s time to sleep. It lets one room do two jobs, like a spare room that’s also a study. We build the cabinet around the bed to suit the room and finish it to match. Typical reasons to get in touch are shelves or a desk around the bed and a living room with a bed that folds away; the furniture is made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and answer any questions. How long the fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- You get in touch with some details about the room.
- The design visit covers measuring, the wall and the layout. What the wall is made of matters, as the bed has to be fixed securely.
- A quote in writing is sent to you, setting out the design, materials and finish.
- Everything is made at our workshop.
- We fit the bed and storage in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies.
What affects the price in Harrow
In London, parking can affect the price. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension. Let us know about parking during the design visit, so it can be planned.

Arranging a design visit

Homes across Harrow and their bedrooms
Homes across Harrow, Stanmore, Hatch End and Harrow Weald included, have bedrooms with every kind of quirk. Wall beds are scribed to the walls and levelled on site. The paint finish, spray-painted or hand-painted, is agreed with you.
In Harrow, the largest groups of homes date from between 1919 and 1939 (about 52%) and the years since 2000 (about 15%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. More than half of the homes in Harrow (about 52%) date from between 1919 and 1939, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Many interwar houses have a small room over the stairs, which suits fitted storage made around its bulkhead. About 48% of households in Harrow live in detached or semi-detached houses, the 2021 Census shows. A house like that normally has more rooms to plan around than a flat, and sometimes a driveway that makes unloading easier.
In London, the route into a home matters as much as the room, so we look at both during the design visit.
Harrow: For a flat near Harrow-on-the-Hill station, it helps to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day. Headstone Manor, about 1.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, tall ceilings give wall beds room to reach the cornice.
Before and after fitting day
Getting the most from wall beds starts with the planning and carries on after fitting day. These are worth keeping in mind:
- Keep the floor in front clear before lowering the bed
- Check your lease if you live in a flat
- Let us know about the wall’s construction
- Consider how many people will sleep in it
New paintwork takes a while to harden. Go easy on the doors and front at first, and wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth only.
Measure the space in front of the wall, not just the wall. You need clear space for the bed to come down, so plan where furniture will sit.
What we do not do
We are carpenters, so some jobs belong to other trades. These are worth knowing before you plan:
- Getting consent under your lease
- Supplying mattresses
- Wiring for lights or chargers
What prompts wall beds
Often the bed is one part of a bigger plan. Cupboards and shelving either side make the whole wall useful.
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth getting in touch:
- A playroom that can sleep visitors
- A storage wall with a bed inside
- A spare room that’s rarely slept in
- More floor space in a studio flat
Could you do it yourself?
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. Span, depth and the weight on it decide whether a shelf sags, so a long run needs a thicker shelf, a stiffening lip or a support. That is something we plan for in the design.
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job.
Boards, parts and paint
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting suits a cabinet that should match the room’s woodwork.
Bed mechanism housing
We design the housing around the mechanism and the mattress it takes.
Questions we’re often asked
Do you fit furniture for landlords?
Yes. It works the same way as any job: design visit, written quote, workshop, fitting. If the property is let, the agent can arrange access with the tenants.
Do I need permission to fit furniture in a leasehold flat?
Possibly. A lease can require consent for alterations. We cannot advise on leases, so please check yours.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
Uneven walls are normal in older London homes, and the furniture is made to deal with them. Edges are scribed to the wall, and adjustable feet or a plinth bring the furniture up to level.
Can a wall bed go on any wall?
We check that during the design visit. Different walls need different fixings, and the mechanism maker’s instructions set what’s needed.
Do you do plastering or decorating?
No. Plastering and decorating aren’t part of our work. The furniture itself is spray painted or hand painted.
How is the furniture painted?
There are two choices: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. Your quote sets out which you’ve chosen.
Where is the furniture made?
Each piece is made at our workshop for the room it is going into, then brought to your home and fitted. It’s built from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
