Designing with Personality: Roisin Quinn’s Bespoke Rose Ottoman Bed


Interior designer @roisinquinn set out to design a bedroom that felt personal, bold, and beautiful. At the heart of her vision was a bespoke Rose Ottoman Bed, upholstered in Helter Skelter in Ocean—a dynamic stripe by Linwood Fabrics.


With pink walls, a floral ceiling, and matching cabinetry, the space needed contrast without chaos. Though blue wasn’t her usual palette, the ocean-toned fabric created just the right tension—grounding the pinks while highlighting the cooler tones in the wallpaper.


“I needed something playful but elegant,” Roisin explains. “Helter Skelter was the perfect match—modern, but not trendy. Classic, but never boring.”

From Fabric to Function: Bespoke Details That Matter


More than just a statement, the bed was built to Roisin’s exact specifications. From the curve of the headboard to the deep blue velvet and ottoman storage base, every detail was intentional.


“The velvet added warmth and luxury,” she says. “But the storage was non-negotiable. I live in a small home—I needed function without compromise.”


Hidden beneath the bed is a spacious compartment perfect for stashing linens, off-season clothing, or clutter. Smooth hydraulic lifts and a fabric-wrapped handle elevate the functionality into a design feature.


Collaborating with Button & Sprung made the process effortless. “They nailed the craftsmanship,” says Roisin. “Delivery was quick, setup was seamless, and the packaging was taken away. Stress-free from start to finish.”

Design Advice & How to Recreate the Look


Roisin's Tips for Mixing Patterns and Colours

  • Start with a clear vision: Know the mood or vibe you're aiming for.
  • Balance your prints: Use one bold pattern (like a stripe), a solid, and a subtle accent.
  • Contrast wisely: Pair warm tones with cool ones for balance.
  • Sample everything: Test fabrics in your space under natural and artificial light.

Feeling Bold? Start Small.

If you're hesitant about big prints, try them on headboards, cushions, or throws first. Roisin suggests easing into boldness with swappable elements that won’t overwhelm a space.


Make It Timeless

To ensure your design lasts, anchor it with classic silhouettes and layer in personality through accessories. “My bed’s shape is traditional,” says Roisin, “but the fabric makes it feel totally unique.”
