Office Hours with Shea | No. Four

30 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.

In this episode of Office Hours, Shea answers a question that hits home for so many: How do you keep your house looking so beautiful with kids and pets in the mix? As a designer, business owner, and mom, Shea understands the balance between form and function better than anyone. Her secret? It starts with smart material choices—like performance upholstery and kid-friendly finishes that are built to withstand real life. From stain-resistant fabrics to durable rugs and wipeable surfaces, creating a beautiful home that works for a busy family is absolutely possible—without sacrificing style.

But the other half of Shea’s answer is refreshingly honest: don’t stress over the mess. Life happens, and a perfectly styled home isn’t the goal every single day. Instead, Shea encourages us to think about family-friendly interior design as a long game—where investing in durable pieces allows you to live freely, without worrying about every fingerprint or paw print. If you’re looking for real-life design tips that blend beauty and practicality, or wondering how to keep a beautiful home with kids and pets, this episode is a must-watch reminder that good design is meant to be lived in.
