Wall beds in Bedford Park
A wall bed needs clear space in front of it to fold down, and that shapes the design. We think about where a chair, rug or desk will go, so the bed can come down without a shuffle. If your home has shelves or a desk around the bed and a living room with a bed that folds away, wall beds made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
With a large share of homes around Bedford Park built before 1919, many bedrooms sit against solid brick external walls. Cold external walls can lead to condensation, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture is part of the design. Small back bedrooms and box rooms are common too, and they suit wall beds and other fitted storage well.

What happens on fitting day
Once the main sections are fixed in place, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly. How long the fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Hallways in period houses are often narrow, and the stairs turn sharply, so wall beds are made in sections sized to get through. Floors, stairs and doorways are covered before anything is carried through, and the sections are joined and scribed in the room.

Do you need wall beds in Bedford Park?
Some want a room that can change as the family does. We often hear from people who want a playroom or study that can still sleep guests without giving up the floor.
Requests we hear often include:
- A studio that works by day and night
- A study that doubles as a spare room
- Hiding the bed when it’s not in use
- A flexible room for a growing family
If you live in a flat close to South Acton station, wall beds are made in sections sized for the stairs, landings and lift, so measuring the route matters as much as measuring the room.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- How doors and drawers are fitted
- Which materials they’ll use, named in the quote
- Whether the route into your home has been checked
Flats, blocks and rented homes
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too, as it makes good use of an tricky room. It is made from the same moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood as any of our work.
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, unloading takes some planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so let us know about it during the design visit.
Tips worth knowing
The finish lasts best with a little care. Here are our suggestions:
- Think about how often the bed will be used
- Choose a mattress that suits the mechanism
- Treat new paintwork gently at first
- Leaseholders: check your lease first
The paint needs time to cure fully after fitting. Go easy on the doors and front at first, and clean the cabinet with a soft, damp cloth.
If you know the wall’s construction, mention it. The fixing depends on the wall, and we look at it when we measure.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well.
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there is often a strip of wasted space at the side or above. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can use the full height and width.

Questions we are often asked
Can you fit furniture in a home close to South Acton station?
Yes, homes across Ealing and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with a few details about the room.
My house in Bedford Park is Victorian. Can you deal with uneven walls?
Yes, that is normal in older houses: each piece is scribed to the wall and levelled at the base. Skirting, picture rails and cornices are met neatly or cut around. Older walls can be solid brick or lath and plaster, and the fixings are chosen to suit.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, by prior arrangement. Let us know when you get in touch if a Saturday suits you best.
Can a wall bed have storage around it?
Yes, that is a common request. A desk beside the bed suits a room that’s an office by day, and any new sockets are for your electrician.
Should I send photos?
Yes, they help. Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space, especially with rough measurements. To send them, send us a few details through our contact form.
Do I need permission to fit furniture in a leasehold flat?
Possibly. A lease can require consent for alterations, including fixing furniture to the walls. We can’t advise on leases, so please check yours.
Wall beds in Bedford Park: local notes
About 55% of the homes in the area around Bedford Park went up before 1919, and about 20% since 2000, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Bedford Park include Church of St Michael and All Angels (Grade II*), under half a mile south-east, and Voysey House (Grade II*), about 0.6 miles south. For a listed home, changes inside that alter its character can require listed building consent from the council, for example removing or fixing into original panelling. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. The share of homes built before 1919 around Bedford Park, about 55%, is well above the figure for Ealing as a whole, about 28%, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. That makes period details like uneven walls, alcoves and picture rails more likely to shape the design.
If you live in a period home close to St Peter's, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go. Close to Turnham Green? Wall beds are usually planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay.
