About our wall beds in Nash
A wall bed, sometimes called a Murphy bed, lifts up into a cabinet during the day and comes down when it is time to sleep. It lets one room do two jobs, such as a spare room that is also a study. We build the cabinet around the bed to suit the room and finish it to match. Most enquiries start with a guest bed that disappears in the day and a storage wall with a bed inside; the furniture is made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
If you live in one of the interwar houses or semis around Nash, the spare room may be the small one at the front, over the hall and stairs. That is where wall beds earn their place, making a small room work as a dressing room, a guest room or both. Every wall is measured and checked, even in a house that looks square.
A written quote is the clearest record of what we have agreed. It describes the wall bed we have designed for the room, its materials and its finish, and the workshop works from it.

FAQs: wall beds in Nash
Does a conservation area in or near Nash affect fitted furniture?
Normally not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, works inside that affect its character can require listed building consent, so check with the council first. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
Can you make wall beds for a home in Nash?
Yes, we work across Bromley, Nash included, and across the rest of London. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details.
Can you add sockets inside the units?
No. We’re carpenters, so electrical work is for your electrician. We can allow for cable routes in the design, and new sockets should be in place before fitting day.
Can I send photos before the visit?
Yes, they help. Photos 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, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by arrangement. Let us know when you first get in touch.
Can you build shelves or a desk around a wall bed?
Yes, that is a common request. A desk beside the bed suits a room that is an office by day, while new sockets are for your electrician.
Looking after your furniture
These points come up often when people plan wall beds. They help before and after fitting:
- Lower and lift the bed steadily
- Follow the mechanism maker’s mattress guidance
- Let us know about the wall’s construction
- Measure the clear space in front of the wall
The mechanism maker’s guidance says how much bedding can stay on the bed when it folds away. We can build a cupboard beside the bed for extra bedding.
Tell us what the wall is made of if you know. Solid brick, stud walls and plasterboard need different fixings, and we check it at the measuring visit too.
Why people ask for wall beds in Nash
Working from home has changed how many spare rooms are used. The room needs to be an office and still sleep guests, and a fold-down bed lets it do both.
Some of the things we are asked to solve include:
- A guest bed that disappears in the day
- A playroom that can sleep visitors
- A storage wall with a bed inside
- A guest room that sits empty most of the time
If you live in a flat close to Hayes (Kent) 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.

What else we make in Nash
Fitting day, step by step
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room and take up the floor coverings. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and explain how to look after the paint. 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. On fitting day, the sections are carried in, assembled, scribed to the wall and levelled. Hand-painted furniture can be finished on site; spray-painted pieces arrive finished from the workshop. Saturday fitting is possible by arrangement.
- First, you let us know about the room and how you’d like it to work. A desk or shelving around the bed can be part of it.
- We come to measure, look at the wall and floor, and go through the layout with you. We also check there’s clear space in front to lower the bed.
- A written quote follows, covering the cabinet, the storage and the finish, for you to look over.
- The cabinets are made at our workshop, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies. The finish is sprayed in our workshop or painted by hand on site.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Let us know about parking near your home
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
Starting with a design visit
A quote begins with a few details from you: the room, rough measurements and some pictures if you have them. When you’re ready, send us a few details through our contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and talk through the design, then send a quote in writing.
Advice
Flats, conversions and lettings
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let. It is made from the same moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood as any of our work.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. If there is a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Let us know about it when you get in touch.
How it’s made
Bed mechanism housing
We build the housing to suit the mechanism, fixed securely as its maker specifies. When the bed is up, the front looks like cupboard doors.
Moisture-resistant MDF
MDF stays flat and paints beautifully, which suits the doors and side panels.
Fitted bedroom furniture in Nash
In the neighbourhood around Nash, the largest groups of homes date from between 1919 and 1939 (about 69%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 12%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Near the centre of Nash, Historic England’s list includes Priors Farmhouse (Grade II), under half a mile north-east. If your own home is listed, changes inside that alter its character, like fixing into or removing original joinery, may need listed building consent. It’s worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. London’s red routes are run by TfL, and stopping on them is tightly controlled. If your home is on or just off a main road, it’s useful to mention it. It lets us plan the stop before fitting day.
If you live near Coney Hall Recreation Ground, wall beds are normally planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay. For a family home near Wickham Common Primary School, a mix of drawers and shelves copes with school uniform as well as everything else.
