Celadon & Cacao: A Smoked-Oak Bedroom
Celadon linen and cacao velvet sit against a smoked-oak slatted wall with alabaster sconces, warm concealed light and practical bedside clearances.
The design notes
What makes this room work.
Size the slatted wall around the bed and the outlets
Draw the mattress, full upholstered frame, nightstands, switches and receptacles on one elevation before ordering slats. Use a removable panel or accessible void for wiring rather than trapping junctions. If a full wall is too costly, center one wide smoked-oak panel behind the headboard and paint the remaining wall cacao.
Keep celadon varied but controlled
Layer one washed-celadon duvet, a slightly greyer throw and ivory sheets instead of matching every textile exactly. Test fabric samples beside the oak and velvet in morning and evening light because green undertones move quickly. Keep the bench pale so the foot of the bed remains visually open.
Treat sconces as bedside equipment
Mock up the fixture height while seated and lying down, checking glare, reach and clearance above the nightstand. Natural alabaster varies, so approve the pair together and confirm the required outlet box, lamp, dimmer and wall depth with the installer before cutting the slatted panel.
Make it yours
Borrow the idea.
Paint a single headboard-width rectangle in deep cacao, attach removable smoked-oak slat panels above the existing bed and bring celadon to washable bedding and one curtain. Plug-in wall lamps can free the nightstands when hardwiring is not possible; route cords securely and keep controls reachable from bed.
Before you bring it home
- Measure the complete bed frame, door swing, nightstand drawers, bench and walking clearances at both sides and the foot.
- View real celadon, cacao, smoked-oak and alabaster samples together in morning and evening light.
- Confirm mattress compatibility, velvet and wood care, outlet-box requirements, dimming, slat access and delivery turns.

Heidi Bed — Chocolate Velvet
A chocolate-velvet upholstered bed with curved oak-burl framing, offered in Queen and King on the reviewed listing.
Select Queen or King explicitly and use the current merchant dimensions for the complete upholstered frame. Check mattress compatibility, full delivery access, the Chocolate velvet swatch and the merchant's professional upholstery-care guidance before ordering.
The official US page displayed Chocolate velvet, Queen and King choices, an active add-to-basket control and delivery from two weeks on October 27, 2026. Confirm size-specific stock and location-specific delivery.
Why it fitsChocolate velvet and the Heidi's curved upholstered frame translate the cacao anchor in a real Queen or King option. Its oak-burl edge differs from the concept's simpler smoked-oak wall, so plan from the complete frame dimensions, order the velvet swatch and verify mattress and access requirements.

Wallace Nightstand
A two-drawer contemporary nightstand crafted from solid walnut or ash with veneers and customizable hardware.
Overall 26 W × 20 D × 26 H inches and 22 pounds. Compare its height with the installed mattress and leave room for both soft-close drawers. Dust with a soft dry cloth, blot spills promptly and avoid chemical cleansers, abrasives and furniture polish on the lacquered finish.
The official US page displayed the active listing, current dimensions, care guidance and four-to-six-week white-glove delivery information on October 27, 2026. Select and confirm the exact wood, hardware and location-specific timing.
Why it fitsThe Wallace offers two soft-close drawers and a current walnut or ash choice for practical bedside storage. Its raised classic silhouette differs from the concept's compact floating blocks, so compare the 26-inch height with the installed mattress and leave room for both drawers.

Melange Medium Elongated Pill Sconce — Bronze and Alabaster
A Kelly Wearstler hardwired sconce with a natural carved-alabaster shade and bronze detailing; select SKU KW 2014BZ-ALB.
The fixture is 18.5 inches high, 4.5 inches wide and 4 inches deep with an 18 × 4-inch oval backplate, E12 candelabra socket and damp rating. Natural alabaster varies and the fixture requires a smaller outlet box. Confirm the Bronze SKU, junction box, 6W LED B11 bulb, dimmer and professional installation.
The official US configurator displayed in-stock Bronze SKU KW 2014BZ-ALB with natural alabaster on October 25, 2026. Natural stone varies; confirm quantity and delivery timing before opening the wall.
Why it fitsNatural alabaster and bronze create the narrow warm glow shown beside the bed. The real Melange is a hardwired 18.5-inch pill rather than an integrated slat-wall lamp, so confirm the Bronze SKU, smaller outlet-box requirement, dimmer, bulb, projection and delivery timing before opening the wall.
