Office Hours with Shea | No. Two

When you think of the Studio McGee aesthetic, you probably imagine light-filled rooms, thoughtful layering, and an effortless blend of classic and modern. But while many of the homes we design are spacious, we know that style doesn’t have to be size-dependent. That’s exactly why we created Office Hours with Shea: to answer real design questions from real people—whether you’re working with 40,000, 4,000, or 400 square feet.

In this second installment of our video series (you can watch it here), Shea McGee tackles a question we hear often: How can I make my smaller home reflect the same clean, elevated Studio McGee style? From choosing the right scale of furniture to mixing textures, Shea shares interior design tips for small homes that feel just as refined as our full-size projects. With a few smart adjustments and some creativity, you can absolutely bring the Studio McGee look into your space—no renovation required.

Stay tuned each week for new episodes in the Office Hours series, covering topics like furniture layout in small footprints, living with pets, and designing a nursery that your kid won’t immediately grow out of.
