About wall beds in Croydon
The cabinet is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray painted in our workshop or hand painted. From the front, the folded bed can look like a set of tall cupboards, sitting quietly in the room. Most enquiries start with a guest bed that disappears in the day and somewhere comfortable for guests to sleep; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it’s going into, and fitting day is where that happens. Few walls in older London homes are truly flat or square, so we scribe the edges by hand to follow the wall. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote.
- 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, as the bed must be fixed securely.
- We send a quote in writing for the bed cabinet and storage.
- We build and finish everything in our workshop.
- Fitting day: the cabinet is fitted and the bed checked as it lowers and lifts.

Wall beds across Croydon: local notes
Homes across Croydon, Thornton Heath, Coulsdon and Purley included, have bedrooms with every kind of quirk. Wall beds are scribed to the walls and levelled on site. You choose the colour and whether it’s spray-painted or hand-painted.
The biggest shares of homes in Croydon were built before 1919 (about 29%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 24%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how wall beds are fixed and fitted. 6 of the 32 places in Croydon with their own pages here have their centre inside a conservation area, going by Historic England’s records. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission.
Homes across Croydon range from period terraces to modern blocks, and we work in all of them. The process is the same wherever you are: a design visit, a quote in writing, then making and fitting.
Thornton Heath: For an older house near Church of St Stephen, tall ceilings give wall beds room to reach the cornice. For a family home near Winterbourne Junior Girls' School, wall beds in a child’s room can be planned so the inside layout changes as they grow.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job, and it’s quick to buy.
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there is often a strip of wasted space at the side or above. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can use the full height and width.
Boards, parts and paint
Birch plywood
We use birch plywood where strength matters, which suits parts that carry load. Its layered edge can be shown or painted.
Moisture-resistant MDF
A painted MDF front looks crisp, which suits the doors and side panels.
Why people ask for wall beds in Croydon
Others want the bed to be part of a wider storage wall. Cupboards and shelving either side turn one wall into storage, workspace and a bed.
Requests we hear often include:
- A bed that looks like cupboards by day
- Storage built around a fold-down bed
- A home office that also sleeps guests
- A spare room that is rarely slept in
Caring for painted furniture
The finish lasts best with a little care, whether it was spray painted or hand painted. Here are our suggestions:
- Follow the mechanism maker’s mattress guidance
- Treat new paintwork gently at first
- Mention if the wall is a stud wall
- Check there is room for the bed to fold down
Before you first use the bed, read the mechanism maker’s guidance on lowering and lifting it. Make sure the floor in front is clear before the bed comes down, and do not let children play with it.
Tell us what the wall is made of if you know. The fixing depends on the wall, and we look at it when we measure.
Flats, conversions and lettings
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. We choose fixings to suit the wall, after checking the walls at the design visit.
In a managed block, the building manager or concierge may need notice before we arrive. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Let us know about it when you get in touch.
Questions we’re often asked
How much does a wall bed cost?
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. The bed size, the cabinet and any storage around it all make a difference. To arrange a design visit, drop us a line using the contact form.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You choose it, and we agree it with you before the furniture is finished. Whichever finish you pick, it is in the colour you have chosen.
Can you make wall beds for a home in Croydon?
Yes. Our area is the whole of London: every borough and the City of London, and that includes Croydon.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
We need someone to let us in. It’s good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
Can you build shelves or a desk around a wall bed?
Yes. Shelves, cupboards or a desk can go around the bed cabinet, so the whole wall is useful. The design keeps clear space in front for the bed to fold down.
How long does fitting take?
It depends on the design. 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.
Do you cover areas outside London?
No. We only take on work in London, across all the boroughs and the City of London.
