Haus Heidi Whistler: Nimbus Suite

Blue and white bedroom

Bring Your Inspirations to Life


A pinch-me moment and a helicopter tour around Whistler, BC, brought on hues of blue as far as the eye could see. The endless blue sky and clouds were the mood board for the Nimbus Suite bedroom at Haus Heidi Whistler. With a backdrop of glossy white shiplap, a pair of cool blue pendants designed by my brother Theo's company, a plush headboard, cozy wool broadloom (complete with mountain riff in the chevron pattern), and floating bedside tables fashioned from kitchen cabinet components and finished with sparkly quartz tops, the bedroom is verifiably a vision brought to life.


Make your bedroom your favourite escape and the ultimate expression of YOU! In this episode of Design Life, we'll show you how to bring your inspirations to life and infuse your bedroom with the character you crave. Watch as we take you behind the design of 4 totally unique guest suites at Haus Heidi, our newly renovated luxury modern alpine chalet rental as seen on HGTV Canada's Sarah's Mountain Escape!
