The year may have just started, but some designers are already looking toward the next season when it comes to home decor—including Syd and Shea McGee.
The McGees head up Studio McGee, a McGee and Co. online store, a partnership with Target, and a Netflix show—all of which align with the couple's signature modern farmhouse aesthetic. Their new 2024 Spring and Outdoor Collection delivers, giving the organic, textural, and clean details McGee and Co. is known for. The collection is drenched in a color palette of varying shades of blue, ochre, tan, coral, and persimmon.
“Inspired by the refreshing nature of spring, this collection beautifully balances traditional details with modern touches, familiar comforts, and a renewed perspective,” McGee and Co. founder Shea McGee said in a press release.
“Some of the design elements you’ll see carried throughout is understated opulence like skirted and fringed upholstery, luxurious textiles like linen and waffle weave, and handmade touches like block print patterns and inset embroidery. Our spring collection is all about new comforts and old charm.”
It's also full of home trend inspiration—here are a few ideas you can look to add to your space in 2024.

A Vintage, Equestrian Look
Vintage is having a renaissance, and you can look to pretty much any previous decade and find today's most popular styles reflected.
These pieces evoke the charm of estate sale discoveries, contributing to a nostalgic yet enduring ambiance. The vintage trend speaks to a desire for unique, character-filled decor, bridging the past with the present in a seamless blend of classic and contemporary design.
The collection follows that trend, featuring pieces reminiscent of elegant antique finds that are totally timeless. Classic wooden items like the Zella Swan Object and Equestrian Pedestal Object elevate any bookshelf or coffee table and look like they came straight from a vintage boutique.
Classic, Art-Inspired Statements
Eclectic design has us adding pattern wherever we can. The McGee Co. Fiorella Wallpaper, a light brown watercolor texture with a white floral motif, stands as a piece of art all on its own, but its neutral tones allow it to support other design elements. The collection's vases, like the Krissan Vase make for museum-worthy statement pieces.
The infusion of classic, art-inspired statements into home decor reflects a desire for individuality and sophistication, with each piece becoming an expression of personal style within the broader context of eclectic design. This trend encourages you to blend diverse elements that create a visually-striking living environment.
Geometric Modernity
Geometric modernity is on the rise in contemporary home decor, showcasing a fusion of functionality and artistic design. The Julio Coffee Table in this collection serves as a prime example, with its clean lines and a thick, bold form. Crafted from light gray fiberglass, it looks both inviting and like a modern work of art.
Of course, no McGee and Co. collection is complete without a piece that focuses on function as much as appearance, like the Beacon 6 Drawer Dresser, a build that is also mirrored in a nightstand. It’s one of the most geometric-style pieces in this collection but still matches the overall aesthetic with its raw material of a neutral-toned white oak.
It comes as no surprise that this trend is hitting today—it emphasizes the importance of clean lines, bold shapes, and functional design, creating a space that blends modern aesthetics with everyday use.
