Wall beds in the City of London: how it works
A wall bed needs clear space in front of it to fold down, and that shapes the design. We think about where a chair, rug or desk will go, so the bed can come down without a shuffle. We make wall beds from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about more floor space in a studio flat and a study that doubles as a spare room.
Every fitting follows the same order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. The time the fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- You get in touch and tell us about the room and the wall where the bed could go.
- At the design visit we check what the wall is made of, as a wall bed has to be fixed securely as its maker specifies.
- A written quote follows, covering the cabinet, the materials and the finish.
- The bed housing and any shelves or desk are made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit the cabinet in your home and fix the mechanism as its maker specifies.
- Before we leave we show you how to lower and lift the bed.
What goes into your quote
In London, parking can affect the price. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. It helps to talk about parking during the design visit, so we can plan for it.

Homes across the City of London and their bedrooms
In the City of London, a spare room often doubles as a study or a guest room. Wall beds can be planned so the room switches between them, keeping clothes, bedding and everything else out of sight.
About 40% of the homes in the City of London went up between 1945 and 1972, and about 27% since 2000, 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. About 40% of homes in the City of London were built between 1945 and 1972, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Bedrooms from that era tend to be regular, so fitted furniture can run wall to wall, with fixings chosen for concrete, block or brick. About 27% of homes in the City of London were built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Bedrooms in homes built since 2000 tend to be compact, with stud walls, so fitted furniture is fixed to suit the board.
Getting furniture into a London home takes planning, from narrow halls to lifts and parking, so the way in is measured along with the room.
City of London: Mansion House, about 0.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, tall ceilings give wall beds room to reach the cornice. For an older house near St Olave Old Jewry, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go.
Where other trades come in
Our work is the furniture itself: designing it, making it in our workshop and fitting it. That means:
- Advice on your lease
- Strengthening or rebuilding a wall
- Wiring for lights or chargers
Why people ask for wall beds in the City of London
The most common reason is a spare room that’s rarely slept in. A standard bed takes up the floor all the time, and a wall bed lets the room be used every day.
A few of the things people ask us to solve are these:
- A proper bed instead of a sofa bed
- A home office that also sleeps guests
- A living room with a bed that folds away
- A guest bed that disappears in the day
What it’s made from
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting suits a cabinet that should match the room’s woodwork.
Birch plywood
For a sturdy cabinet, birch plywood is a good choice for a piece that moves every day.
Pricing wall beds in the City of London
The price for your room depends on:
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- How big the furniture is
- How many doors and drawers there are
Access to the room makes a difference too. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections, and that’s part of the price. Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit.
Before the design visit
When you contact us, these help most:
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- How you want to use the space

Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
A normal bed has nothing to fix to the wall, and that has its appeal. But if the room has other jobs to do, a wall bed lets it do them every day.
What to check before you book
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
- Which materials they’ll use, named in the quote

FAQs: wall beds in the City of London
Will you provide a mattress for the bed?
The mechanism maker sets limits on mattress size and weight. We go through the mechanism’s limits when we measure, so you can pick the right one.
How much room do I need in front of a wall bed?
It depends on the bed size and the mechanism. We measure up and make sure the bed has room to fold down.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
An outside wall can be colder and damper than an inside one, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps to avoid condensation. Any damp needs sorting by the right specialist before fitting.
What happens at the measuring visit?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. We will also ask about access and parking, and a written quote follows.
Are fold-down beds safe to use?
A wall bed is designed to be used regularly 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 you make good the walls afterwards?
No. We don’t plaster or decorate, so any work on the walls is for a plasterer or decorator. We finish the furniture itself, as set out in your quote.
Do you make the furniture yourselves?
It’s made in our workshop, to the sizes taken during the design visit. After that, we fit it in your home.
