How To Decorate with Art+Craft and Books In a Small Space

As an Artist and Interior decorator I get inspirations from the books I read and collect, these books are biographies, fiction, design, art and craft books.I am always on the lookout for books that are relevant to my craft so I am forever collecting.







The whole collecting of books makes my space crammed but I love my books and I want to share them with friends and guest alike.

 The daunting task was how to create a space that would blend both my books and Art together without it being cramped, I was able to achieve it in my Sitting room space when I read an article in an interior decor magazine, about shelves making a comeback.



The bookshelves I read about were really 
well made and looked more like Art, than shelves.
That was a delight for me. That was the inspiration behind my idea of decorating with books alongside my art and craft. 

Gone are the days when books were arranged in sturdy built, boring looking shelves that didn't add flair to a room,
 they were


 rather intimidating and daunting just looking at 
them.


Books these days, are part of home decor accessories, 


 they are stylish to have on coffee tables, as a pile or
 scattered around cute shelves in a space.

They create a chic space, that says a lot about 
the style of the individual, inhabiting that space.

 Having said that, this has inspired me to show how,

 I have blended my books and Art in my own space. 


I love books and I am an Artist what can I  say. Enjoy

I understood immediately that the internet is indeed a level playing field and "beauty is indeed in the eyes of the beholder".  The more I blogged about my craft and posted on pinterest the more the views increased and people shared their ideas with me.

Abstract Art Silhouettes by Miabo Enyadike

Abstract Art Silhouettes My practice in Abstract Expressionism is rooted in color as a force of identity rather than decoration.  Through what I define as Abstract Silhouette Art, I strip the human figure of literal detail and reconstruct it through saturated, expressive color fields. I am particularly drawn to the tension between presence and absence.  Traditional silhouettes rely on darkness to define form, but my work deliberately disrupts this logic.  I replace shadow with luminosity, transforming what is typically obscure into something vivid, animated, and impossible to ignore.  In doing so, I challenge the viewer’s expectation of how the human form should be perceived and understood. The silhouette, for me, is not a reduction of identity but an expansion of it.  By removing physical specificity, I create space for psychological, emotional, and symbolic readings to emerge.  Color becomes the language through which these identities are constructed...
