Wall beds in Hurlingham, Hammersmith and Fulham
Walls in older London homes are rarely straight, so we scribe the furniture to follow them. Our work on wall beds in Hurlingham starts with a design visit, and everything is built in our workshop.
- A bed that looks like cupboards by day
- A home office that also sleeps guests
- A bed that fills a little-used room

- Fold-down bed mechanism
- Birch plywood
Wall beds in Hurlingham: what you get
Safety starts with the fixing: the mechanism is fixed as its maker specifies, into a wall or floor that’s sound enough to hold it. We check the wall and floor at the design visit as solid brick, stud walls and plasterboard all need different fixings. People typically come to us about shelves or a desk around the bed and a real mattress for visitors; the furniture is made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
With a large share of homes around Hurlingham 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.
Where other trades are needed, for example an electrician to move a socket, we point that out. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Long shelves are where off-the-shelf often struggles. How much a shelf bends depends on its span, depth and load, and long runs need a thicker shelf, a lip along the front or a support. We design shelves with that in mind.
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that are not square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, which leaves standard units with gaps at the sides and top.

Common questions about wall beds
I live in a flat in Hurlingham. How will the furniture get up the stairs?
At the design visit, we measure the way in not just the room. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it is worth checking those early.
I live near Imperial Wharf station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Hammersmith and Fulham and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Is an outside wall a problem for fitted furniture?
External walls can be colder and damper than internal ones, so we allow for ventilation behind and inside the furniture. If there’s damp, it should be sorted before anything is fitted.
Is a wall bed safe?
Wall beds are made for regular use as long as they’re fixed and used as the maker specifies. We fix the mechanism securely to a sound wall or floor, and you should follow the maker’s guidance on lowering and lifting it.
How much room do I need in front of a wall bed?
The bed needs room in front of it to come down, as well as the depth of the cabinet itself. We measure this at the design visit and plan the layout around it.
Can you fit a wall bed to a stud wall?
It depends on the wall and floor. The mechanism has to be fixed securely as its maker specifies, to a wall or floor that can take the load, and we look at this when we measure.
The problems wall beds solve
The most common reason is a spare room that’s rarely slept in. A bed fills the room whether anyone is using it or not, and folding it away gives the room a second life.
Most of the enquiries we get are about things like these:
- A home office that also sleeps guests
- A bed that fills a little-used room
- A flexible room for a growing family
- Somewhere comfortable for guests to sleep
If you live in a flat close to Imperial Wharf station, the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in.
What to check before you book
- Real projects you can actually look at
- Will the quote be in writing?
- How parking will work on your street
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
From workshop to your room
When we arrive on fitting day, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. Next, we carry in the sections made at our workshop. How long fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. In houses converted into flats, the route in may include a shared hall and stairs, so it helps to let neighbours know about fitting day. The sections are sized for the narrowest point on the route. Saturdays can be arranged.
- You contact us about a wall bed for a spare room or studio.
- At the design visit we plan the bed cabinet and check the stairs, landings and any lift.
- We send a written quote.
- The cabinet is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, in sections sized for the route.
- We carry the sections in, assemble them and fix the mechanism as its maker specifies.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
Starting with a design visit
A quote begins with a few details from you: which room it is, rough measurements and a couple of photos if you can take them. To send them, use our contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and discuss the design, then send a quote in writing.
Advice
Wall beds for homes in Hurlingham
The biggest shares of homes in the streets around Hurlingham were built before 1919 (about 55%) and since 2000 (about 26%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Near the centre of Hurlingham, Historic England’s list includes Hurlingham House (Grade II*), under half a mile south, and Parish Church of All Saints (Grade II*), about 0.6 miles west. Where a home is listed, listed building consent can be needed for inside works that affect its character, such as fixing into original panelling. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. Red routes, run by TfL, have strict rules on stopping and loading. If you live on or close to a main road in Hurlingham, let us know during the design visit. That way we can plan where to load and unload.
Close to Parsons Green (park)? A bedroom facing the green is best kept light, with the furniture on the side walls. If you live in a period home close to St Dionis, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind wall beds is part of the design.

A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, and that often means a shared hallway and a tight turn on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind.
