Designer Spotlight: Miranda Kerr

You may have already been familiar with Miranda Kerr from her modeling and acting career, but Miranda has now entered the realm of furniture design. In collaboration with Universal Furniture — a brand that Baer’s Furniture has also partnered with — Miranda Kerr has brought her fashion and design sense to the furniture industry. Baer’s Furniture is pleased to offer high-end pieces from the Miranda Kerr Home line. Read on to find out more about these exciting collections.

Miranda Kerr is probably one of those names that need little introduction. However,  the story of her entry into the furniture design industry is not as well known as other parts of her career. Miranda Kerr is not a celebrity who merely approved a furniture line to use her name. She has a deep understanding of aesthetics and furniture design. 

Her collection is warm, sophisticated, and soft. Her design statement begins with this quote: “As someone who loves the sanctuary of being at home and surrounding myself with beautiful pieces, it has been a dream of mine to create my own collection of furniture that not only looks aesthetically pleasing and functional for family living but that also promotes a warm, positive, loving energy in the home.”

From what we’ve seen, Miranda has achieved this objective.

While sophisticated, Miranda Kerr Home furniture has a light, airy look that often escapes high-end furniture designers. Many of her pieces are white, off-white, or a light pastel color. These qualities work well with the Florida design aesthetic. Because the pieces are neutral, they match many different color palettes and decorative themes. While Miranda refers to her furniture as “contemporary” — and that descriptor certainly fits — it could also work with modern, minimalist, Art Deco, Boho, Mid-Century, Cottagecore, and modern farmhouse décor.

If you’re interested in embracing Miranda Kerr’s vision in your home, here are a few tips to help you get started.

This has nothing to do with your thermostat. If you live in Florida, we know you have the AC running. Miranda Kerr products have a warm, welcoming tone and texture. If you have a cooler palette or your existing furnishings have a colder, reflective quality to them, you may need to change more than one or two items to achieve the look you’re hoping for. 

For example, look at this gorgeous Miranda Kerr Home Uptown King Bed from the Love, Joy, Bliss Collection. With rounded corners at the base and a tufted fabric headboard, this piece not only looks soft to the touch, but it absorbs light rather than reflects it. Every aspect of this piece is designed for peace and tranquility. Whether you’re curling up with a good book or just snuggling under a soft comforter, you will not want to leave.

There are many basic designs that have endured the test of time. Sofas, coffee tables, dining room sets, etc., will always be with us. It’s the mission of designers, like the ones on the Miranda Kerr Home team, to create innovative new looks for these timeless classics. Consider the Miranda Kerr Home Peony Drawer Chest. This piece has a muted white finish with gold hardware. The ten-drawer chest rests atop a gold-finish rectangular box that matches the butterfly-inspired drawer handles. It is a stunning piece that one can imagine being placed in an upscale New York hotel suite or a high-end Manhattan apartment. Image

True to the contemporary nature of her design theme, Miranda Kerr has developed a whimsical approach to home furniture. The Miranda Kerr Home Sydney Bunching Cocktail Tables, named after her hometown of Sydney, Australia, have a warm, alabaster finish with gold-metal details. The two nesting cocktail tables have a hexagonal shape and can be combined to create a two-tier cocktail table or separated for different decorative options. This set of two tables is truly a statement piece.
