Office Hours with Shea | No. One
05 June –
In this special video series, Studio McGee founder Shea McGee sits down to tackle your most-asked interior design dilemmas—one thoughtful answer at a time.
At Studio McGee, one of our greatest joys is helping people create homes they love to live in. Over the years, we’ve received countless questions from our followers—from how to layer lighting in a living room to choosing the right rug size for a space. Now, we’re bringing those conversations to life in a new format: Office Hours with Shea.
In this six-part video series, our founder and Chief Creative Officer, Shea McGee, sits down to answer real interior design questions submitted by you—our community. Each episode focuses on a single design dilemma and offers thoughtful, approachable advice you can actually use in your own home. Whether you’re just starting your home design journey or refining your aesthetic room by room, Office Hours with Shea is designed to meet you where you are—with expert insights and a signature Studio McGee touch.


We’re starting the series with a topic that’s both popular and personal: How do I make my home look beautiful without spending a fortune? It’s a question Shea hears all the time, and for good reason—interior design can feel overwhelming (and expensive) if you don’t know where to begin and where to look for bargains.
In the first episode (watch it here), Shea shares her go-to budget-friendly home design tips that prove you don’t need a huge renovation to create a space that feels warm, welcoming, and uniquely you. If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to balance your dream aesthetic with real-world constraints, this episode is for you. Shea’s advice is all about intentional design, and her ideas are grounded in both experience and empathy—because everyone deserves to live in a home that feels beautiful, no matter their budget.
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. And if you have a design question of your own, drop it in the comments or send a DM through our Instagram @studiomcgee.
