Shapes For The People is all about Color. Whether it’s through a bold geometric mural, or a thoughtfully design color palette for you home, I love to work with homeowners to help you feel at ease with color; finding ways to bring it into homes in a way that makes sense for you. Your home is a special, sacred, vulnerable space where you should feel comfortable, confident, and have the freedom to truly be yourself. The rooms in your home are made for gathering, relaxing, working, nourishing. They provide you with comfort, solitude, shelter, nourishment. 

With the right approach and application, the simple addition of color can enhance and expand your spaces; changing cold open plan formats into a cosy, cohesive collection of rooms. It can surprise and delight your guests in an under-the-stairs powder room, or open up an under used dining room into an inviting, celebratory place to gather. 

Color is transformative and magical, and I believe that it can help any house on any budget to be the very best it can be. 

All About Color

Hi, I’m Madeline

Color enthusiast and advocate! I’ve spent a decade building this business; exploring and reimagining the role that color can play in the places where we live and work. I have painted over 30 murals in New York, New Jersey and Washington DC and have helped bring color into many homes through my Color Consultation services.

I believe in the power of color. I love working with people to discover who they are and how that can be represented through color in their homes and spaces. My goal is to create thoughtfully conceived interiors that look and feel like you.

Although I’m originally from England, I spent my 20s living and working in Germany before moving to New York in 2011. I now live in South Orange, New Jersey and work within New Jersey, New York City and the surrounding areas.

I love lipstick and stripes of any kind.
