Shea McGee’s Target Swivel Chair Taps Into Fall’s Biggest Trends – Yet Its Vintage Feel Is Totally Timeless
Fringe-lined, swivel designed, and made with lasting appeal. This accent chair from Shea's Target line is the standout of the season for more reasons than one
Aside from her impeccable taste and her eye for good style, interior extraordinaire Shea McGee has a knack for knowing how to make trendy design details look timeless. Case in point: the Upholstered Swivel Accent Chair from her fall collection at Target.
This accent chair taps into the heritage-inspired design trends of the moment – from its fringe-lined base to its swivel design. It's also ticking the box for the biggest fall color trends of 2026 with its rusty, terracotta-toned upholstery. Despite the trendy appeal, Shea has designed a piece with longevity too – the 'on-trend' accent chair you'll want to keep in your home for years to come.
This accent chair can become the it-piece of your living room. It's designed with an ultra-soft, chenille-like upholstery that makes it extra plush. Plus, its curved back and sloped arms create this lovely cocooning shape. Its swivel mechanism is covered by trendy fringe detailing that gives this accent chair a dynamic and textured look.
What goes around always comes back around in design, and that's certainly the case for the details that make this accent chair desirable. Fringe has had a massive resurgence over the past year, but not in a fussy 1970s way. Shea's made the fringe detailing look truly tasteful here by keeping the fringe tightly lined and extra dark to contrast the color of the chair itself.
Even the chair's design – a 360-degree swivel chair – is a nod to styles of the past. These rotating chairs channel an early 2000s, Nancy Meyers-inspired mood, but in 2026, they've become the hottest seats to own. Here, Shea has put her own twist (pun intended) on the swivel chair to make it elegant and sophisticated for a timeless home.
This accent chair embodies timeless sophistication. Though it taps into current trends, it can make your living room look effortlessly elegant. And trust me, it won't feel dated in a year.
My favorite part of the chair has to be its color – a deep red tone so dark that it almost appears brown. The perfect shade for fall, yes but a timeless shade to style all year round. This colorway can bring such depth, visual interest, and elegance to any room. Plus, it's one of those nuanced neutrals that can play the lead or supporting role in a room's design scheme – depending on how you style the rest of the space.
I, for one, would let this chair take charge. I picture it becoming the star piece of a cozy living room – grounding the space with its inviting color but adding textural appeal with its nubby upholstery and fringe base. Another option: create a luxury hotel-inspired seating area by staging two of these chairs beside each other. Since it costs less than $400, buying two won't break the bank.
Clearly, Shea McGee knows how to make furniture that feels both of-the-moment and can go the distance – let the Upholstered Swivel Accent Chair be proof.

It's always a good idea to position a floor lamp beside an accent chair – this way, when you sit down to relax, you'll have ample light right beside you. This model is from Emma Chamberlain's West Elm collection, and I just love the outward notches along its sleek wood base.
