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.

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.


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.
