How we make wall beds for Kingston upon Thames
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. Typical reasons to get in touch are storage built around a fold-down bed and a bed that looks like cupboards by day; the furniture is made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
With the carcasses fixed and level, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly, then checked again. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- You get in touch with a few details about the room.
- We visit, measure and discuss the bed, shelves and desk. What the wall is made of matters, as the bed has to be fixed securely.
- You receive a quote in writing, setting out the design, materials and finish.
- The cabinets are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit the bed and storage in your home.

Homes across Kingston upon Thames and their bedrooms
Across Kingston upon Thames, bedrooms range from period rooms with high ceilings to compact rooms in newer blocks. The design follows the room, not a catalogue, with the inside laid out around what you keep.
The biggest shares of homes in Kingston upon Thames were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 34%) and before 1919 (about 21%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (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. Around a third of the homes in Kingston upon Thames (about 34%) date from between 1919 and 1939, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Houses from that era often have a box room over the stairs, with a raised bulkhead in the floor, which suits fitted storage made around its bulkhead. Detached and semi-detached houses are home to about 44% of households in Kingston upon Thames, according to Census 2021. A house like that typically has more rooms to plan around than a flat, and sometimes a driveway that makes unloading easier.
We make fitted furniture for every kind of home in Kingston upon Thames, from Victorian terraces to new-build flats. The process is the same wherever you are: a design visit, a written quote, then making and fitting.
Kingston upon Thames: Close to Canbury Gardens? A bedroom facing the green is best kept light, with the furniture on the side walls. Near listed buildings like Church of All Saints, less than half a mile south-west of the centre of Kingston upon Thames, older homes may keep original joinery that wall beds can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features may need listed building consent.
When you need someone else
Our work is the furniture itself: designing it, making it in our workshop and fitting it. That means:
- Choosing a mattress for you
- Advice on your lease
- Decorating around the cabinet
What it’s made from
Moisture-resistant MDF
The moisture-resistant grade suits cabinets on cooler external walls, with ventilation allowed for.
Bed mechanism housing
A wall bed housing needs to be rigid and true, so we build it with care. It’s fixed to a sound wall or floor.
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Standard units seldom reach the ceiling or fit wall to wall. We can build to the full height and width and fill the rest of the wall with storage.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
- Have they thought about parking near you?
- How they handle walls that are not straight
- Which materials they’ll use, named in the quote
What affects the cost of wall beds
What it costs comes down to the materials and the time involved. That depends on:
- Spray painting or hand painting
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- The number of doors and drawers
- The overall size of the piece
What goes inside matters as much as the outside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers all add work. At the design visit, we work out what you need inside, then set it out in the quote.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you first contact us:
- Examples of the look you are after
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit, once the room is measured and the design talked through. To arrange a visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
Caring for painted furniture
None of this takes much effort. Here’s what we suggest:
- Think about how often the bed will be used
- Think about where extra bedding will go
- Give the paint time to cure fully
- Mention if the wall is a stud wall
The mechanism maker’s guidance says how much bedding can stay on the bed when it folds away. Bulky duvets and pillows may need storing nearby.
Consider how often the bed will be used and by whom. It shapes the bed size and the type of mechanism, and whether a desk or shelves go around it.
Questions from Kingston upon Thames
Will a wall bed work on my wall?
That depends on what the wall and floor are made of. The mechanism must be fixed to a sound wall or floor, as its maker specifies, so we check it at the design visit.
How is the furniture painted?
You can choose between two finishes: spray painted or hand painted. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
What materials do you use?
We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. MDF gives a smooth, stable surface for paint; birch plywood is strong and good for shelves and drawer boxes.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. After that, you do not need to stay in the room, though we like to go over the furniture with you at the end.
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.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by arrangement. Just mention it when you get in touch.
Is a mattress included with the wall bed?
The mechanism maker sets limits on mattress size and weight. We’ll explain its limits during the design visit, so you can choose with confidence.
