We love the work of Studio McGee Interior Design and the husband-and-wife team Syd and Shea McGee. Their designs strike a rare balance between elevated and livable, creating spaces that feel both polished and welcoming. Best of all, you can bring that signature Studio McGee look into your own home through their McGee & Co. shop. Below are a few favorite rooms and the key pieces that make recreating the style simple and approachable.
A light, neutral kitchen anchored by natural textures—wicker stools, simple cabinetry, and soft ivory pendants—feels timeless and relaxed. These elements are hallmarks of the Studio McGee approach: restrained color palettes paired with tactile accents that invite everyday use.
Moody blue walls paired with crisp white linens and simple furnishings create a serene bedroom with depth and character. Small, well-chosen details—like a pair of stools at the foot of the bed—add function without disrupting the calm aesthetic.
Outdoor spaces reflect the same refined-yet-relaxed sensibility: classic chaise lounges, clean lines, and coordinated textiles make a poolside retreat feel like an extension of the home’s interiors.
We love sharing the Studio McGee style with you today. Which look is your favorite?

My 13th novel, SUMMER STATE OF MIND, releases May 5, 2026. I’m delighted to share this coastal Carolina story with readers — a warm, character-driven novel about fresh starts, community, and unexpected connections. Preorder options are available.
More About SUMMER STATE OF MIND:
“Queen of the beach read,” (Cosmopolitan) New York Times bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with a heartfelt escape to coastal Carolina.
After the worst day in her professional life, burnt-out NICU nurse Daisy Stevens flees to Cape Carolina, North Carolina, seeking a new start and perhaps new love. On her first day at a simpler job, high school baseball coach Mason Thaysden finds an abandoned baby, an event that ripples through their tight-knit town.
Mason is still grappling with an injury that ended his hopes of playing in the big leagues. Stuck in his hometown, he’s searching for purpose. The newcomer and the child they rescue together might be the reason he chooses to stay. As Mason shows Daisy around Cape Carolina—introducing her to friends and his eccentric Aunt Tilley—connections deepen and fresh starts begin to take shape.
As Daisy grows attached to the abandoned child and begins to confront her own past, a startling discovery threatens to upend the town. Daisy, Mason, and Tilley find themselves at the center of a storm that will test their resilience and their ties to one another. With warmth, humor, and heart, the novel shows that community, compassion, and a little theatricality can lead us exactly where we belong.
