Wall beds for your home in Motspur Park
Wall beds in Motspur Park
The cabinet is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish. From the front, the folded bed can look like a set of tall cupboards, so the room does not read as a bedroom by day. People typically come to us about hiding the bed when it’s not in use and a playroom that can sleep visitors; the furniture is made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
A good part of the housing around Motspur Park is interwar, semi-detached or detached. If yours is a 1920s or 1930s house, the box room over the stairs is a classic spot for fitted furniture. The main bedroom may have a bay at the front and a chimney breast on the side wall.

Flats, conversions and lettings
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, which is worth sorting early. We cannot advise on your lease.
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, unloading takes some planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so it is worth raising at the measuring visit.
FAQs: wall beds in Motspur Park
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Motspur Park?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit.
Do you cover homes near New Malden station?
Yes, homes across Kingston upon Thames and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can tell us about the room on our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to let us in. It is good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two ways to finish it: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
Who chooses the colour?
You do. The paint colour is agreed with you.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
Getting it in is planned at the measuring visit. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doors, and the furniture is made in sections sized to get through.
Why bespoke in Motspur Park?
Sofa beds cost less and need no fixing, which suits some homes. With a wall bed you get a proper bed and an empty floor by day, which matters in a small room. Off-the-shelf units come in set widths, so a run along a wall typically ends with a gap, which fitted furniture avoids. It can also go up to the ceiling rather than stopping short.
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. Bigger pieces use more board and take longer to make and fit. After that, the number of doors and drawers, the internal fittings and the finish all play a part.
Why choose us
- Scribed to uneven walls
- Workshop-made and fitted by us
- Saturday visits and fitting by prior arrangement

Fitted bedroom furniture in Motspur Park
Homes built before 1919 make up about 34% of the housing in the streets around Motspur Park, with about 31% built between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. The centre of Motspur Park is within about a quarter of a mile of the Westcoombe Avenue Conservation Area. Fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission in a conservation area, as the controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings. The council can confirm if you are not sure. Red routes are run by TfL, with tight limits on where and when vehicles can stop. If you live on or close to a main road in Motspur Park, let us know at the design visit. It lets us plan the stop before fitting day.
Living in a block of flats near New Malden station? Then it is useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like The Royal Oak Public House, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features. Southside House, about 0.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind wall beds is part of the design.

What happens on fitting day
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it’s going into, and that happens on fitting day. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so we scribe the edges by hand to follow the wall, until the line is tight. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Some interwar and suburban streets have driveways, which can make unloading easier, so let us know during the design visit. Otherwise, details of permits or nearby bays help. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.
- You tell us about the room and who the bed is for.
- At the design visit we measure the room and check the wall and floor, as the bed must be fixed securely.
- We send a written quote for the bed cabinet and storage, ready to check.
- The bed housing and any shelves are built in our workshop.
- Fitting day: the cabinet is fitted and the bed checked as it lowers and lifts. We show you how the bed works before we leave.
Preparing the room
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Looking after your furniture
Painted fitted furniture is easy to look after. These habits help most:
- Leaseholders: check your lease first
- Consider how many people will sleep in it
- Check mattress size and weight limits
- Keep children away while the bed moves
Should the bed start to move differently, stop and let us know. The mechanism should only be adjusted as its maker allows.
Think about who will sleep in the bed and how often. That helps decide its size and the mechanism as well as the storage around it.
