The problems wall beds solve
Working from home has changed how many spare rooms are used. The room needs to be an office and still sleep guests, and a wall bed makes that possible.
Typical reasons people contact us include:
- A studio that works by day and night
- Hiding the bed when it is not in use
- Shelves or a desk around the bed
- A hobby room with a bed for guests
For a family home near St Anne's Catholic High School for Girls, wall beds in a child’s room can be planned so the inside layout changes as they grow.

Wall beds for homes in Oakthorpe Park
Many people now work from home in a room that also has to sleep guests. A wall bed with a desk or shelves beside it lets the room do both, so the bed doesn’t dominate the working day. We can allow for cables to the desk, though any new sockets are for your electrician. We make wall beds from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and the usual reasons to get in touch are a proper bed instead of a sofa bed and a flexible room for a growing family.
Ceilings in homes built before 1919 are often tall, and a large share of homes around Oakthorpe Park are that old. That height can be used, with fitted furniture taken up to the cornice and top cupboards for occasional things. Original mouldings are worked around rather than removed.
We write quotes in plain English, without jargon. They say what will be made, what it’s made from and how it will be finished, taken from what we agreed at the visit.

Flats, leases and landlords
If the property is let, we will need access agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. An agent can arrange access for you.
Blocks of flats often have their own rules on lift bookings, entry systems and times for trades. Let us know about them at the measuring visit, and we will plan the fitting around them.
Wall beds in Oakthorpe Park: local notes
In the neighbourhood around Oakthorpe Park, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 53%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 25%), 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. Within a mile of the centre of Oakthorpe Park, 3 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Flats in converted or shared houses account for about 23% of households in the area around Oakthorpe Park, according to Census 2021. In a converted house, rooms can be odd shapes, with new partitions meeting old walls, and the route in may go through a shared hall and stairs. If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before anything is fixed to the walls.
Living in a block of flats near Palmers Green station? Then the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in. Close to Broomfield Park? Wall beds are typically planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay.

FAQs: wall beds in Oakthorpe Park
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Palmers Green station?
Yes. We cover all of Enfield and the rest of London. To get started, you can drop us a line using the contact form with a few details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Can you fit wall beds to the uneven walls of an older house in Oakthorpe Park?
Yes. Walls in older houses are rarely flat or square, and floors are often out of level, so each piece is scribed to follow the wall and set level on a plinth or adjustable feet. We also work around skirting boards, picture rails and cornices. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whether solid brick or lath and plaster.
Do I choose the paint colour?
The choice is yours. Whichever finish you pick, it is in the colour you’ve chosen.
Is an outside wall a problem for fitted furniture?
An outside wall can be colder and damper than an inside one, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps. Any damp needs sorting by the right specialist before fitting.
Are fold-down beds safe to use?
Safety depends on a secure fixing and sensible use. We fix the mechanism as its maker specifies; you lower it steadily with the floor clear.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two choices: spray painting, done in the workshop for a smooth, even finish, or hand painting, which can be done on site. Your quote sets out which you’ve chosen.
Pricing wall beds in Oakthorpe Park
Not every room costs the same, and it comes down to:
- The internal fittings
- Spray painting or hand painting
- Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- The width and height of the space
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. A larger piece means more material and more time, so size comes first. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.
Helping us understand the room
What helps most when you first contact us:
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- What the furniture needs to hold
We quote once we’ve seen the room. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and talk through the design with you, and the written quote comes after. Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. To book a design visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.

Fitting day, step by step
Before anything is fixed, we set the furniture level. Where the floor slopes, we bring the furniture up to level on adjustable feet or a plinth, which keeps the lines straight. Only then is it fixed to the wall, with fixings chosen to suit brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. Scribing is done on site, which means some cutting in the room or close by, so we ask for a clear space to work near the room. We keep dust down and tidy as we go. Hand painting, if that’s your finish, can follow the fitting.
- We start with what the room is for, day and night. A desk or shelving around the bed can be part of it.
- We visit, measure up and check the wall the bed will fix to. We also check there is clear space in front to lower the bed.
- We send a quote setting out the design, materials and finish.
- We build and finish the bed housing and storage in our workshop, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
