How we make wall beds for Victoria
You need room in front of the cabinet to lower the bed, so we plan the layout with that in mind. We think about where a chair, rug or desk will go, so the bed can come down without a shuffle. Typical reasons to get in touch are hiding the bed when it’s not in use and more floor space in a studio flat; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
In houses built before 1919, a floor can drop noticeably from one side of a room to the other, and a large share of the homes around Victoria are that old. Pieces stand on a levelled plinth or adjustable feet, so the doors line up and the gaps run straight. Where the wall bows, the edge is scribed to follow it.

Caring for painted furniture
These points come up often when people plan wall beds. They help before and after fitting:
- Keep the floor in front clear before lowering the bed
- Decide who the bed is mainly for
- Check there’s room for the bed to fold down
- Let us know about the wall’s construction
If the bed ever feels different when you lower or lift it, stop using it and get in touch. The mechanism should only be adjusted as its maker allows.
Leasehold flats can have rules on alterations, so check your lease early. Your lease is something to check with whoever manages the building.

Pricing wall beds in Victoria
To work out the quote, we look at:
- The width and height of the space
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Parking and unloading on your street
The finish affects the cost: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.
What to send when you get in touch
There’s no need for exact sizes or plans. Just send what you can:
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
The quote is built from the design visit. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and talk through the design with you. A quote in writing follows the visit, so you can take your time with it. To arrange the visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there’s typically a gap left over at the top or at one end. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can use the full height and width.
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.
How fitting day works
With the carcasses fixed and level, we hang any doors and fit any drawers or lids. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly, and then we check it all again. How long fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. In houses converted into flats, the route in may include a shared hall and stairs, so neighbours may appreciate a note before fitting day. Each section is sized for the tightest door or turn. Saturday fitting is possible by arrangement.
- You tell us about the room.
- We come to measure and go through the bed, the storage and the finish.
- You receive a quote in writing covering the design, materials and finish.
- We build the cabinets in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.

If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, unloading takes some planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so let us know about it at the measuring visit.
If the property is let, we’ll need access agreed with the tenants. An agent can arrange access for you.
Fitted bedroom furniture in Victoria
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Victoria were built before 1919 (about 48%) and since 2000 (about 18%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. The centre of Victoria is within about a quarter of a mile of the Grosvenor Gardens Conservation Area. Planning controls in conservation areas are mainly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitting furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need permission. Your council can advise if you’re unsure. More than a third of the homes in the neighbourhood around Victoria (about 48%) were built before 1919, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. A wall bed has to be fixed securely as its maker specifies, and in houses of that age the walls can be solid brick or lath and plaster, so the fixings are chosen with care.
Close to Green Park? A bedroom facing the green is best kept light, with the furniture on the side walls. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Buckingham Palace Riding School, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features may need listed building consent. For an older house near St. Michael's Church, tall ceilings give wall beds room to reach the cornice.

Common questions about wall beds
Does a conservation area in or near Victoria affect fitted furniture?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can need listed building consent from the council. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
Is Victoria in the area you cover for wall beds?
Yes, Victoria 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.
Who chooses the colour?
The choice is yours, and it is agreed with you before painting. Whichever finish you pick, it is in the colour you’ve chosen.
Is it possible to add a desk beside the wall bed?
Yes, and it is one of the best ways to use the wall. A desk beside the bed suits a room that’s an office by day, and any new sockets are for your electrician.
Is a wall bed safe for everyday use?
Wall beds are made for regular use when fixed and used as its maker specifies. We fix the mechanism securely to a sound wall or floor, and the maker’s guidance on use should always be followed.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. You do not need to watch us work, though we like to go over the furniture with you at the end.
