This new Shea McGee x Target drop has made me a skirted furniture convert – get ready to see these pieces in every stylish home
Shea's new Threshold designed w/Studio McGee designs are full of romantic charm and it nails one of this year's biggest furniture trends


We all know and love Shea McGee’s signature timeless and classic style. So when she leans into a new trend, you can trust it’s one with real staying power. Her latest drop at Target, filled with charming ruffled and skirted furniture pieces, is proof that this soft, tailored look isn’t just having a moment – it’s here to stay.
As a Style Editor, it is my job to keep an eye on the Threshold™ designed with Studio McGee collection. And with each new drop, there’s always something that catches my attention.
Adding to the Shea McGee x Target spring collection this week, it is clear to see that the designer was inspired by the skirted furniture trend with her latest slipcovered designs. With just the right amount of cottagecore playfulness and a heavy dose of Shea style, these sweetly trimmed pieces are a budget-friendly way to shop this nostalgic look.
Shown here in the Kale Gingham, this ruffled dining chair was what I really fell for. Armless for modern appeal with a relaxed slipcover, these chairs will instantly uplift a boring dining room in need of a spring makeover.
I have always leaned a little bit on the 'girly' side when it comes to decorating my home (and my wardrobe, for that matter), but I like to mix schemes up with something that toughens up the twee. So I was a little surprised when the skirted furniture trend started calling to me.
But, as Shea proves, this isn't a furniture trend just reserved for the maximalists. In fact, these charming slipcovered, playfully pleated pieces can be easily mixed with your existing decor – no matter if your interior design style leans cottagecore, coastal, farmhouse, or totally contemporary.
And with so many fabric options to choose from (12 to be exact) for each piece, from sweet gingham, plain linens in soft earthy pastels, neutral solids, and a leafy vine print, Shea's made it easier than ever to tailor the look for your own home.
I’m already envisioning how these pieces could work in my own rooms: the blue ruffled bench at the end of my bed, the skirted chairs around a rustic dining table, and Johanna bed complete with its own bed skirt to kick-start that guest bedroom makeover I've been planning.

Stylish, comfortable, and packed with character, these new Studio McGee for Target designs are sure to be a fan favorite.
While I've mentioned styling this as an end-of-the-bed bench, this chic piece was actually designed to be a dining bench for additional comfort at the dinner table or breakfast nook. I love this Seaglass blue hue, but do check out the patterned options too.
Not only is finding an affordable upholstered bed a hard task, but finding one with this much style at an accessible price, customizable fabric options, and five different sizes is pretty impressive. It does require a box spring and mattress, so bear that in mind before purchasing.
If you're looking to upgrade an existing bed frame, Shea's new drop includes three new headboard designs, including this pretty ruffled design as well as the more traditional Notched Headboard and Ruched Headboard – which I love in the Gingham Berry print.
Whether you’re fully on board with the return of skirted furniture or looking to dip a toe in with a single ruffled accent, this new Threshold™ designed with Studio McGee drop makes it easy (and affordable) to get the look.
And true to Shea McGee’s design ethos, they’re the kind of additions that won’t date quickly, but will instead quietly elevate your existing decor. But if the ruffles aren't your cup of tea, I'm also seriously impressed with the new Modern Turned Wood Bed that is well worth checking out from her latest drop for vintage style without even a hint of kitsch.
