**★★★★★ — Lauren Bass, July 2025**

> We had the pleasure of working with Matthew Tenzin to perform an energy clearing on the townhouse we began renting and moved into about a year ago. From the start, we never quite felt at ease in the space—it carried an unsettling energy unlike anything we’d experienced in our previous homes. Bringing Matthew in was truly transformative. Ever since his visit, there’s been a noticeable sense of lightness and flow throughout the house, and we finally feel safe and comfortable here. It was exactly what we needed. We had previously tried working with someone else who came recommended, but that experience didn’t bring any real change. I’m incredibly thankful we gave it another shot and chose to work with Matthew!

**★★★★★ — L O, Oct. 2022**

> Joe is a masterful designer that created a home that our family would thrive in for well over a dozen years now. Joe transformed our Snowmass Village home through the art of carefully listening. From adjusting the layout to his impeccable choice of materials, Joe has provided our family more than can be expressed.

**★★★★★ — G K, Sept. 2022**

> What a blessing you were to us in helping us form opinions, listening to us, advising us…
>
> You also helped bring our two different design styles together into one that worked for our new house...
>
> We got more than what we paid for because you two are so invested in the project and you two care so much that it felt like you were always working on our house at all hours of the day.
>
> You and your team are so responsive and hard working that we couldn't have this beautiful home without you.

**★★★★★ — HU-225675199, Aug. 2022**

> Unbelievable. That’s the word I heard over and over again from \[my wife\] tonight in reference to the house! She is a pretty tough customer and I don't remember the last time she was so excited about something like this. Thought you might want to know. Thank you...and congratulations!

**★★★★★ — HU-535032444, Aug. 2022**

> Joe and Matthew really had a straight forward approach to our interior design needs. They were great at listening to what our decor taste was and exceeded our expectations on finding all the right items and having it fit together perfectly. Joe and his team had great sources and stood behind their work. A job well done.

**★★★★★ — HU-171869422, Aug. 2022**

> We enjoyed working with Joe and Matthew in redecorating our home in Aspen. It would not have been transformed into the lovely, peaceful home that it is now without their creativity and thoroughness. They listened to what we wanted and the outcome shows that. It is now one of our favorite places to be.

**★★★★★ — R J, Aug. 2022**

> I finally arrived in Aspen this morning, and the experience of seeing the house for the first time was just exhilarating. I can hardly believe how beautiful it looks and to think that 8 months ago it was but a twinkle in our eyes.
>
> I could go on for much longer but for now suffice it to reiterate my extraordinary gratitude to you for a job so well done. It is quite evident from my walk-through of the house just how much of yourselves you have given to this project.
>
> To say we are satisfied is the understatement of the century. We were singing your praises tonight with our realtors. They were so impressed with the transformation!

**★★★★★ — W S, July 2022**

> When we bought a home in Aspen, CO, we began working with Joe McGuire Design.  Not only is their work and taste impeccable, they are responsive, organized, patient, unassuming, classy, and beyond professional.  We have had experience over the last 15yrs working with other interior design companies and nothing compares to our experience with Joe, Mathew and Kyle.  So much so that we've begged them to start working with us not only in Aspen, but in our primary residence in Miami, Fla.  What a pleasure and a treat to work with Joe McGuire Design.

**★★★★★ — HU-369186367, July 2022**

> Joe and his team worked on the complete interior design of our newly built custom home in Boulder. The experience working with them was fantastic. They were incredibly interested in what we we wanted in a home and they dedicated themselves to developing that theme and steering us into a design that we absolutely love. They took us from concept to the most intricate detail. Not only is our space beautiful and just what we wanted, but everything is super functional. We love living here and still admire every day what they have helped us build. We feel lucky to have them as partners on our home.

**★★★★★ — P.G., July 2022**

> JM Design did a fantastic job designing/refurbishing our home. We are beyond pleased with the result. While everyone we interacted with was fantastic, and Joe and Matthew are incredible, we’d be remiss if we did not give a specific shout out to Marysia who is wonderful. She is extremely knowledgeable, very easy to talk to, and overall was a real pleasure to deal with on every facet of the job — something that for many is a stressful project. Marysia actually made it fun. We love our “new” home, and we highly recommend this group.

Built in 1999, the home had an eclectic theme, with dark woods and yellow plaster walls. We refinished the floors, lightened the walls and millwork, re-configured the kitchen, updated the firep…

In this foyer, the large glass door pivots, and as light pours in, it mellows the hemlock-paneled wall and white oak floors. The glow of the Noguchi lantern above, the soft Moroccan runner under foot, and the woven cognac leather bench all create a welcoming entry to this modern mountain home. The golden hillside grasses inspired the warm tones we chose for fu…

  - Description: When our Aspen studio was tasked with furnishing this home, we went all out to create a gorgeous space for our clients. We decorated the bedroom with an in-stock bed, nightstand, and beautiful bedding. An original painting by an LA artist elevates the vibe and pulls the color palette together. The fireside sitting area of this home features a lovely lounge chair, and the limestone and blackened steel fireplace create a sophisticated vibe.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Furniture arrangement for beachfront condo** *(in Home Decorating)*

Hello,
I’d love to hear your thoughts on arranging furniture in the room shown below! It’s a 1,400-square-foot condo on the fourth floor in California, boasting stunning ocean and pier views. The front of the unit is dominated by windows, offering direct access to a balcony and showcasing the breathtaking scenery. My preference is to orient the room to maximize the ocean view, but another option is to center the layout around the fireplace, with the TV mounted above it on the wall opposite the windows.

All ideas are welcome! Feel free to share your creative alternatives as well.

Thank you!

A: You might try doing a sofa with two swivel chairs instead of a sectional. A lot of times a sectional will limit seating and viewing. Below are a few of our designs with layouts that might work for your beachfront view.

**Q: Help with furniture layout** *(in Furniture)*

How do I layout the furniture in this long room? There will be a tv over the fireplace. That’s all I know right now! Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!

A: We don't think the TV should be above the fireplace. You might try the TV, over a console, on the blank wall at the end of the room. Then look at doing a small sectional with a very small L shape on the wall across from the fireplace. Then look at adding some swivel chairs and a chaise lounge to the other side of the room. Here are a few images from our designs with furniture ideas.

**Q: Need some creative ideas for a cozy seating area** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Hi, we are decorating our new house and are struggling with this one wall. We will be hanging these two prints on the wall and creating a seating area with these two recliners. We’re having a hard time deciding what table to use. We want to be able to have a table to set things on, but there’s a lot of space on that wall to fill up. We can’t decide if we should have a long table or just a round table between the two chairs. Does anyone have any ideas? I've attached pictures of tables were considering, as well as some lighting ideas. We’re really struggling with this. Thank you in advance!

UPDATE: Thank you everyone for the feedback. I've added more pictures. These chairs are lighter than they appear; we took the egret prints with us to the furniture store- the color combination looks great. I'm thinking of a lamp somewhere that maybe has some blue in it like in the pic I've added. I really like the idea of having a long table against the wall and then a small, round table between the chairs. I've never done anything like that before. This a rather large, open space that we want to feel inviting and cozy. The Paris print on the wall now will be removed.

A: What else is in the space? Are the two chairs able to go against the wall? It looks like you could easily hang both pieces of art above the chairs and have the side table in the middle. You might try a floor lamp and a tall plant too. Here are a few ways we have decorated one or two chairs.

**Q: Large Family Room Wall** *(in Home Decorating)*

This wall is huge and we have no idea what to put there. The TV is 72&quot; and the wall looks so empty above it...the empty space is about 6 feet up from the ground and ceiling height is 12 feet

A: Nothing is needed on the wall, aside from a longer TV console. We'd also suggest moving the plant stand elsewhere. Note the long TV console used in this living room design of ours below:

**Q: Furnish this space with me (images included)** *(in Furniture)*

It is time to fill my new office, I would like to create a comfortable space that I can work, have my young children hang out in whilst they are with me and be able to invite clients in to discuss and plan their creative endeavours.
•10m x 3.5m space 
•I will need my own desk space
•A TV can be hung on a wall
•I have a beautiful brown chesterfield in storage
•A space to sit with clients during planning meetings would be handy
•Was thinking some floating cabinets from ikea for storage of bits and pieces
I have attached photos of the couch I already have and a possible desk idea. Room images attached too.
Thanks!
160 W x 80 D x 75 H (cm)

A: The desk might work really well towards one end. Are there any windows in the space?

**Q: Banquette size and table shape** *(in Home Decorating)*

I am moving into a vacation home.  The dining area is 105&quot; by 89&quot;.  I want to do a banquette.  Attached are my dimensions and table ideas.  The entire room (with counter tops and appliances) is 15' X 12'.  Do I need the 72&quot; X 72&quot; square banquette or do a 72&quot; X 50&quot; shorter banquette.   I want to be able to walk around the table.  I originally wanted a 60&quot; long rectangular but the design person at PB said a 48&quot; round would look better.  I am totally confused now.  I am enclosing all options...HELP!    The top pic is the realistic placement of south door.  I am leaning toward option 3 which is shorter banquette on north wall.  It is mostly just my husband and I and I can extend this 48&quot; round table to 72&quot; and add chairs.  Any ideas are appreciated.  Need to order to get delivery 3 months out.

A: A pedestal table will most likely work the best for being able to get in and out easily. This is what we did for a clients home and we think it could work as well:
