Raynes Park Wall Beds
Walls in older London homes are rarely straight, so we scribe the furniture to follow them. Our work on wall beds in Raynes Park starts with a design visit, and everything is built in our workshop.
- A studio that works by day and night
- A flexible room for a growing family
- A spare room that’s rarely slept in
Wall beds for your home in Raynes Park
When is bespoke worth it?
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. That’s something we plan for in the design.
It is worth being honest about cost: off-the-shelf furniture normally costs less up front. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is tricky, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.
Wall beds for homes in Raynes Park
We build the bed housing 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, sitting quietly in the room. If your home has a study that doubles as a spare room and a guest bed that disappears in the day, that is what wall beds are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
Around Raynes Park, with interwar houses or semis making up much of the housing, 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 quote in writing is the clearest record of what we have agreed. It sets out the wall bed designed for your room, what it’s made from and how it is finished, and the workshop works from it.

What else we make in Raynes Park
Fitted bedroom furniture in Raynes Park
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 48% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Raynes Park, with about 25% built before 1919, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Raynes Park include Methodist Church (Grade II), about 0.5 miles north. Works inside a listed home that affect its character, for example removing original joinery or fixing into it, may need listed building consent from the council. Ask the council’s conservation officer before anything is fixed. Controlled parking zones are common across London, and Merton sets its own rules. If your street in Raynes Park is in a controlled parking zone, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension through the council may be needed. Let us know what the parking is like at the measuring visit.
For families living near West Wimbledon Primary School, the inside of wall beds can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow. If you live in a period home close to St Saviour's Church, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go. Southside House, about 0.9 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go.
Raynes Park is about 2 miles north-east of Wimbledon, in the London Borough of Merton. We cover Raynes Park as part of our work across Merton. In Merton, Raynes Park is one of the places we cover, and the borough has 20 places on our list.
Design visits and fitting in SW20, KT3 and SM4 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We cover homes on streets such as Gore Road, Edna Road and Wyke Road, whether you want wall beds or another piece made for the room. Raynes Park sits close to the A238 and A298, and we plan where the van can stop before fitting day. Neighbouring places we cover for wall beds include West Barnes (1 mile south-west), Bushey Mead (1 mile north-east), Cannon Hill (1 mile east), Motspur Park (1 mile north-west) and Wimbledon Chase (1 mile north-east). Other parts of Merton we cover include Wimbledon (2 miles north-east), Colliers Wood (3 miles east), Eastfields (3 miles east), South Wimbledon (2 miles north-east), Merton Abbey (2 miles east) and Mitcham (3 miles east).

Your questions about wall beds in Raynes Park
Do you make wall beds for homes in Raynes Park?
Yes. Raynes Park is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Merton and London. To get started, you can message us from the contact page with some details.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Raynes Park?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. It helps to tell us about parking at the design visit, so the day can be planned around it.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need someone to let us in. It also helps to have someone around at the end, so we can go over the finished furniture together.
What happens when you come to measure?
We measure the space and discuss the design, materials and finish. We also check the walls and floors and note radiators, sockets and other things in the way, then send a quote in writing.
How long does fitting take?
Every room is different. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
Do you do the electrics?
No. Any new wiring, sockets or lights need an electrician. We’ll design around them.
Practical tips
Looking after painted furniture is simple. These habits help most:
- Plan a cupboard for spare bedding
- Treat new paintwork gently at first
- Let us know about the wall’s construction
- Measure the clear space in front of the wall
Whether bedding can stay on the bed when it folds up depends on the mechanism. We can build a cupboard beside the bed for extra bedding.
Consider how often the bed will be used and by whom. It shapes the bed size and the type of mechanism as well as the storage around it.
What happens on fitting day
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. After that, it’s fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that’s solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. In a 1930s house with a converted loft, the stairs to the loft room are often steeper than the main flight, so pieces for a loft room are sized for the narrowest point. Elsewhere in the house, the route is typically more generous. Each section is assembled and fixed in the room.
- You contact us about a wall bed for a spare room or studio.
- We visit to measure the room and the way in, from the front door to the room itself. Mention parking as well, since vans often need a permit or a paid bay.
- Your written quote sets out the design, materials and finish.
- The cabinet is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, in sections sized for the route.
- The cabinet is joined in the room, fixed securely and set level.
Preparing the room
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
Arranging a design visit
The quote is built from the design visit. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. A written quote follows the visit. To book one, message us from the contact page.

Materials and finishes
Shelves
Shelf spans and depths are sized so they don’t sag.
Spray-painted finish
For a sleek front, spray painting works well, and it’s done before fitting.
Flats, leases and landlords
If the property is let, we’ll need access agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. A letting agent can arrange this on a landlord’s behalf, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind, once we have measured the way in.
