Wall beds in Paddington Green: what you get
The bed mechanism must be fixed securely, exactly as its maker specifies, into a wall or floor that’s sound enough to hold it. At the design visit we look at the wall it will go on, because the fixing has to suit what the wall is made of. If you are living with a storage wall with a bed inside and a guest room that sits empty most of the time, that’s what wall beds are for, made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
Around Paddington Green, most households live in purpose-built flats, and many blocks have rules about using the lift and when work can happen. It helps to check those with the managing agent before fitting day. If your flat is leasehold, your lease may also need checking before wall beds are fixed to the walls.
After the design visit, we send you a quote in writing. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

From workshop to your room
Period rooms often have skirting boards, picture rails, cornices or coving for the furniture to meet. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details, so it looks as though it was always there. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and your quote sets out the fitting days. For a flat, the stairs, landings, lift and doors are measured along with the room itself: wall beds are made in sections sized for each of them. Mansion block lifts can be small, and some blocks have no lift at all.
- We start with how the room is used and who’ll sleep there.
- At the design visit we measure the room and check the wall and floor.
- 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, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies.
Preparing the room
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
How to get a quote
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it. To arrange a visit, get in touch through our contact form.

The problems wall beds solve
Some people are tired of sofa beds. With a wall bed, guests sleep on a real mattress, on a proper frame.
Here’s what wall beds can help with:
- A flexible room for a growing family
- A living room with a bed that folds away
- A bed that fills a little-used room
- Storage built around a fold-down bed
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like Catholic Apostolic Church and Church House, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can need listed building consent.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Are the boards named, such as MDF or plywood?
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Have they thought about parking near you?
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors
Wall beds in Paddington Green: local notes
About 44% of the homes in the area around Paddington Green went up before 1919, and about 16% between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Paddington Green is partly covered by the Paddington Green Conservation Area, one of the conservation areas recorded by Historic England. Conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If you are unsure, check with the council before work starts. Red routes are run by TfL, with tight limits on where and when vehicles can stop. If your home in Paddington Green is on or near a main road, tell us at the measuring visit. We can then plan where the van will stop.
Close to Kensington Gardens? 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 Mary on Paddington Green Church, tall ceilings give wall beds room to reach the cornice.
Paddington Green is about 1 mile south-east of City of Westminster, within the City of Westminster. From period terraces to newer flats in Paddington Green, the furniture is designed around the room as we find it. Paddington Green is one of 29 places on our list for Westminster.

What affects the cost of wall beds
To work out the quote, we look at:
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- The width and height of the space
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Parking and unloading on your street
How it’s painted is part of the price: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
Before the design visit
Ahead of the design visit, we’ll normally ask about:
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- How you want to use the space
The design visit is where every quote starts. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and discuss the design with you. Afterwards, we send a written quote for you to look over. To arrange the visit, use our contact form.
Before and after fitting day
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it’s worth looking after. Here are a few tips worth knowing:
- Consider how many people will sleep in it
- Keep children away while the bed moves
- Check there is room for the bed to fold down
- Think about where extra bedding will go
Hand-painted finishes are easy to touch in if the cabinet gets a knock. A spray finish wipes clean and stays smooth and even.
Leasehold flats can have rules on alterations, so check your lease early. Your lease is something to check with whoever manages the building.
Questions we are often asked
My home in Paddington Green is a flat. How do you get the furniture in?
We measure the route in along with the room itself: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. It’s useful to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Can you make wall beds for a home in Paddington Green?
Yes, Paddington Green is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Westminster and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
Is a wall bed safe for everyday use?
A secure fixing and careful use are what matter. The mechanism is fixed exactly as its maker sets out, and you keep the space in front clear and children away while it moves.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
It is something we deal with all the time. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base, so there are no gaps at the sides.
What finishes do you offer?
You can choose between two finishes: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
How long does fitting take?
How long fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and your quote sets out the fitting days. We’ll talk it through during the design visit.

DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder, where scribing and fixings that suit the wall are important.
Long shelves are where off-the-shelf often struggles. Span, depth and the weight on it decide whether a shelf sags, so a long run needs a thicker shelf, a stiffening lip or a support. We design shelves with that in mind.
