It’s a well-known fact among relationship experts that a weekend of assembling flatpack wallbed furniture is enough to bring even the strongest of couples to the brink of divorce! It’s often to do with the indecipherable instruction manuals. They seem to come in 14 different languages but never understandable English and then there seems to be this bizarre international language of gesticulating stickmen! Not only can putting together furniture put pressure on relationships, it can also make you want to pull your hair out – who has the time and patience?!

Luckily, The Wall Bed Centre and Flatpack Assembly Services have joined forces in order to help you achieve your ultimate space saving Wall Bed – without the hassle of having to put it together yourself. Isn’t that great? No more headaches, empty boxes, multiple lost Allen keys and lost screws and washers! Our partnership gives you less stress, peace of mind and a sense of relief to go out and enjoy, and do so much more with your family’s spare time. Family comes first, and we at the Wall Bed Centre and FAS understand this.

At The Wall Bed Centre, we know our customers, and one of the biggest challenges you will face is finding the courage (and time) to get your tools out and put together your brand new wallbed. Yet sometimes these barriers can even restrict the final decision into purchasing one of these unique, yet innovative beds, but after securing a nationwide partnership with Flatpack Assembly Services (FAS) we can finally leave the installation up to the professionals to provide customers with a solid, reliable and hassle-free new wallbed. Phew!

Flatpack Assembly Services started out in Christchurch, New Zealand when a 17 year old entrepreneur, working at a Bunnings store, had a bright idea and $300 burning a hole in his back pocket. Fast forward five years and their now one of the largest and fastest growing mobile service franchises in the world. FAS operates in five countries and have around 120 franchisees globally in operation. The concept is simple; assembling flatpack furniture for customers at their home or office for a fixed fee and since 2014 the vision has been to create the world’s most reliable, robust and well-tuned assembly business.

Wallbeds for Student Accommodation and Micro-Apartments

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Our wall beds are suited to most compact, little 18-25sqm student accommodation rooms in Sydney and Melbourne. While for most furniture in such small areas is impossible, and the proposition for options in such small layouts is a difficult one, particularly when the owner desires to get the maximum income from accommodation and space does not exceed 25sqm. Keeping in mind a standard queen size bed takes up 70 percent of floor space, and with this, the task becomes more difficult. It makes providing good sized rooms more challenging. The intention is to give every possible convenience and at the same time to build rooms as compactly as possible.

Micro-apartments or student accommodation now can achieve aesthetic and practical functions while giving an excellent return on investment for the owner. The Alpha Wall Bed has the narrowest footprint when closed at a mere 410mm from the wall in total depth while giving standardized single to king size mattress sizes. It makes the protrusion minimal when the Wallbed is open, giving a very compact feel. The option to add a desk that can double as a dining table and or work desk that folds down under the bed automatically when lowering and gives every unit maximum usability. No longer will you have a standard bed to clutter a room with no other use but to sleep. A Wallbed is attractive and additional to the bedroom, a study table and dining space will all be in one useful piece of furniture.

student accommodation

It is not necessary for dining tables and or study tables to take up space anymore.  Think of it as a multi-functional piece of furniture made out of high-quality material that holds up much longer than other pieces of furniture.

Storage – Wallbed cabinetry for Sydney and Melbourne are a small footprint and won’t be a blight on the eye in a small space.

Wallbeds for developers and builders in Sydney and Melbourne

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Developers in Sydney and Melbourne are starting to listen to dwellers and considering a number of options for living in the city and close city suburbs.  Builders are considering smaller builds, but with maximum space.  Empty-nesters, Baby Boomers, digital entrepreneurs, young freelancers, and students are leaving big suburban homes to return to life in the city — those who opt for the co-living lifestyle seem willing to pay a little more to live in tiny apartments when the units come with  added benefits like space saving Wallbeds.

Real estate developers investing in smaller apartments are reaping the benefits, too; especially those who have taken time to understand the housing needs of the community and have conducted research to determine the potential return on investment. A developer and building contractor who may be considering a micro-unit project might be tempted to compare the costs of constructing a single-family home against another with identical features and finishes but with fewer square metres, but when trying to calculate ROI for the development of micro apartments in multi-family buildings, cost comparisons for unit sizes get more complicated.

Successful micro unit developers in Sydney and Melbourne carefully consider all the factors that play a role in the marketability of such projects: location, amenity spaces, design and interior functionality. Design and functionality are two of the areas where The Wallbed Centre becomes an integral part of the development plan. Traditional furniture doesn’t work in smaller micro unit developments; occupants tend to feel cramped by the oversized, static nature of the pieces.

So, what options does one have in these smaller spaces? Transforming furniture, like the Alpha Bed with Cabinetry queen wall bed combination and convertible desk installed, allow the space to function like two bedroom apartment.

Wall Beds and Convertible Desks.

Uniquely as the world population increases and space in cities decreases, options available are no longer limitless.  Developers need to think smart and accommodate more people that’s why functionality, design and look is so important.  A number of finishes are available as options and can make a space more palatable for any interior.

Wallbeds are a small footprint and won’t be a blight on the eye in a small space.  Our furniture becomes invisible and besides storage options (nine in total), there are custom colour options at low cost.  When you let an apartment out to a renter, these wallbeds are durable over time because the cabinetry is made out of medium density fibreboard (MDF) instead of chipboard.

Our quality wallbed cabinetry is supremely durable and hygienic and made from low maintenance materials.  Made in Australia from eco-friendly and sustainable environments with minimum impact on the environment. Our furniture looks and feels like a true veneer, setting a benchmark in Australian made wallbed cabinet manufacturing.  All of our glossy surfaces are manufactured by Polytec and our sheen range combines a smooth, stunning finish with a medium level of gloss and an affordable price tag.

To furnish a new development with many different static furniture pieces would potentially cost somewhere beyond $5000AU, whereas furnishing with our wallbed range would furnish more than half of a micro unit for the same cost.

The economy of developing real estate that is affordable and sustainable is simple and easy with murphy beds/wallbeds/deskbeds.  Nothing compares to or delivers better value than these options for your new development.  Consider our options for an outcome second to none and build yourself customer satisfaction.  Only a wallbed can save on space and deliver style, versatility, function and space.  Everything else is a fail when it comes to solutions for the micro home.  Poor choices in today’s city living apartments don’t sell apartments, but wise choices do.  You won’t ever go wrong with a wallbed!

  • Base board mount for no ruined floors or walls or ripped carpet

To meet the NDIS disability rules you need to have an impairment or condition that is likely to be permanent (lifelong) and that stops you from doing everyday things by yourself.

The following questions may help you decide if your answer is ‘yes’.

Do you usually need support from a person or assistive equipment so you can:

  • get out of bed and move around the home and outside the home?
  • have a carer stay for assistance overnight, but don’t have a spare room?
    A standard wardrobe
  • have more space for wheelchair in a small environment?

The NeXt Wallbed Frame Kit bed has been specifically engineered to operate as a stand-alone wallbed that does not require any cabinetry to operate. The counterbalanced spring assembly which is located at the front of the bed gives the bed the freedom to achieve this. You can either mount the base of the bed frame to your skirting of your wall or alternatively fix the bed to your floor.
