For us at Button & Sprung, the most rewarding collaborations are with designers who share our belief that bedrooms should be restorative, tactile and deeply personal. Interior designer Liddy Silver is one of those voices. Her thoughtful approach to space, material and light aligns beautifully with our own ethos at Button & Sprung. Here, Liddy shares how her practice began, how she approaches design, and why comfort and craftsmanship are always at the heart of her work.

How it all began: from instinctive interiors to refined design

Liddy’s love of interiors began early. As a child, she was already curating her own space, saving pocket money to fill her bedroom with Laura Ashley stripes and florals. That instinctive pull towards homes and how they feel never left her.

Her professional path first led her into the world of art and antiques, working as a valuer while renovating several houses on the side. It was during those renovation projects that she realised she wanted a deeper, more technical understanding of design. She went on to complete a diploma at KLC, graduating with distinction, before gaining experience on prestigious residential projects within a large London studio. Two years ago, Liddy Silver Studio was born.

Today, her design aesthetic is shaped by context rather than a fixed house style. Each project tells its own story, rooted in the architecture, history and environment of the space, and, most importantly, the lives of the people who live there. The result is characterful, timeless interiors that subtly blend classical references with contemporary clarity.

Layout, light and texture: the foundations of a timeless interior

When starting a new project, Liddy works with a two-pronged approach. The first is layout. Rooms must function beautifully, connect naturally with the rest of the home and reflect how clients actually live. Multiple layout options are often explored and refined before a final direction is agreed. The second layer is the design language itself. While each brief is unique, three consistent threads run through Liddy’s work: light, texture and the conversation between old and new.

Light is central to wellbeing. It shapes mood, adds rhythm to a day and can completely transform how a space feels. One recent project centred around a water feature, where reflected light gently animated the walls, creating a sense of calm that shifted throughout the day.

Texture is equally important. Minimal colour palettes can be soothing, but it is texture that brings warmth and depth. Bouclé wool rugs, mohair velvet, tweed and fleece are often paired with smoother, cooler materials like veined marble or brushed steel. The contrast between tactile and refined surfaces adds quiet richness, much like a softly upholstered bedhead set against beautifully grained timber.

Finally, there is the layering of old and new. Vintage furniture, art and objects bring soul to an interior, grounding it and giving it a sense of history that new pieces alone can never replicate.

Designing for comfort and wellbeing, and why Button & Sprung fits

should feel intuitive, supporting daily rituals while offering sensory ease. That means thinking about how a space sounds as well as how it looks, how fabrics feel under hand, and how views to greenery or natural light are framed.

Nowhere is this more important than in the bedroom. The bed is the anchor of the room and deserves careful consideration. Thoughtful lighting, practical details like discreet sockets, space for books and water, and, above all, a mattress that provides genuine support all contribute to better rest. Natural materials play a key role here. They breathe, age gracefully and feel authentic, enhancing both comfort and wellbeing.

Liddy was drawn to Button & Sprung for several reasons. The quality of our mattresses and upholstery stood out immediately, particularly the attention to detail in stitching and finish. As a trained upholsterer, these details matter. Equally important is our approach to service. From precise technical advice for tight spaces to flexible delivery and installation support, those small, human touches make a real difference on complex projects.

Her advice for creating a timeless, restful bedroom is refreshingly simple. Start with the essentials: a truly comfortable bed, good lighting, and the best mattress and bedding you can afford. Choose colours that will age gracefully rather than follow short-lived trends. Invest in window treatments, layering blinds and curtains to control light and soften architecture. And finally, ensure the proportions feel right, with beds and bedside tables that sit comfortably within the scale of the room.
