'Many of us have memories or feel inspired by the sea' – Shea McGee shares her key advice on bringing the coastal look into your home without going overboard

Shea McGee and a nautical inspired bedroom.

Shea McGee has long been designing thoughtful spaces that mix the modern with the rustic. She founded Studio McGee in 2014 with her partner, Syd, and has been creating sophisticated and homely designs ever since. Shea's projects are recognizable in style yet feel individually unique, each encompassing the studio's core design values.

A master at designing inviting yet elevated spaces, Shea loves to predict design trends and incorporate them within her projects. An interior style that Shea has recently taken inspiration from is the classic coastal aesthetic. You'll typically see bold stripes, a blue and white palette, and lots of beachy decor in nautical-style spaces, making it instantly recognizable. It's been popular for years so Shea has taken the style and given it a much-needed lesson in refinement.
