AT HOME WITH MIRANDA KERR

 

Australian model and entrepreneur Miranda Kerr takes Vogue Living on an exclusive tour of her Malibu Beach home.

 

After close to a decade in New York, the Australian model and businesswoman moved to Malibu just over a year ago, so she and her four-year-old son, Flynn, could have a bit of space — a luxury she didn’t feel was attainable living in Manhattan.

“I do love New York, but I feel like having Flynn, it’s important for him to have outdoor space and room to play,” she explains. “In the mornings, he likes to go up and look at the garden and see what strawberries might have grown, or he likes to ride his scooter around or swim in the pool or jump on the trampoline. It’s not a lifestyle we could have in New York.”

Built in 1960, the property she chose boasts a wraparound verandah and light, open spaces inside. Kerr says she wanted something relaxed — and something that reminded her of her childhood in Australia.

She created a vision board for how she wanted the house to look and, with assistance from Los Angeles-based interior designer Nan Meltzer, undertook a major renovation, knocking out walls and extending the deck

“I wanted the home to be a place where family and friends felt they could drop by. “Here I always have people staying with me. I like that people know that they can come by and just hang out,” she explains. “They can make themselves at home.” The home also features a guesthouse and a pool house.

The pool still has the original 1960s Malibu tiles. “Flynn and I are in the pool almost every day we’re home,” Kerr says. “The water is so tranquil and calming for us both.”

Kerr likes to make sure her house is in order — literally and figuratively. “I’ve had the house feng-shuied, I’ve had it blessed, I’ve had it doused, I’ve had it checked for electromagnetic fields, I ‘sage’ all the time,” she confides with a smile, kicking back in a hammock on the deck of her light-filled three-bedroom Malibu home.

Kerr had her ‘Hampshire’ bath installed in her bedroom. “For me, the bedroom should be a romantic and luxurious space,” she explains,“so integrating a freestanding bathtub with my rose-quartz crystal enabled me to achieve that in a simple way.” The butterfly rug was custom made using 100 per cent natural materials.

In the living room, the model sits in front of an artwork by Damien Hirst. The custom-made sofa and throw pillows are covered in fabric by Michael Jon Designs.

The redwood deck wraps around the entire west side of the house. “The space allows me to have an outdoor living area,” says Kerr, “which is a must for me because I love being out in nature.” The Indonesian teak daybed in the background is from Berbere World Imports; the hammock is a gift from a friend: “It’s where Flynn and I like to curl up and watch the sun set over the ocean.”

Sitting atop the Indonesian reclaimed teak root cube side table from Berbere World Imports is a 29cm ‘Flower Vase’ from the Miranda Kerr for Royal Albert collection, holding some fan leaves cut from the garden.

The custom-made baby grand piano in the living room, by the Crystal Music Company in the Netherlands, is an homage to her beloved grandmother, Ann, who taught a young Miranda to play. The vase atop the piano is the 20cm ‘Rose Bowl’ from the Miranda Kerr for Royal Albert collection; the wall sconce is from Circa Lighting.

The white walls and vaulted ceiling create a sense of space in the light-filled living room, which offers sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. The fireplace surround is made of chiseled limestone bricks by Ann Sacks; the stone boulders on the hearth are from the home’s original mid-century design. Kerr had the brass butterfly closure on the TV cabinet custom-made to tie in with the Damien Hirst artwork. The Palecek pendant light is made of core rattan and natural rope.

**they like have an interview or an editorial with every single Australian designer, actress, singer & model for this celebration issue, except for Miranda :idk:  Anyway, is she going to Australia soon? because each time is like going soon she gets featured in endless amount of magazines, like now. I hope she makes it to the Paris Fashion week too, this time.

DitaDiamondis Miranda's brother Matthew said that official launch of his restaurant " Nanna Kerr's Kitchen " will take place in October, Miranda is too busy to join him during the official opening party but she's coming home for Christmas.

 

Her new glass collection for Royal Albert will be available in Australia in March 2016, so I hope there will be more editorials and covers. I wish her session for HB Australia was something epic, the location was beautiful:

Usually Miranda does Pilates or ballet so this picture with VS Angels trainer is interesting. There are rumours that VS is going to invite a guest model for its 20th anniversary. I wonder if her contract wth Wonderbra expired. Also it would be great to see her in Paris again. There is one thing I'm sure of -  if she exercises so much, something is gonna happen  :brows:
