wedding wednesday: sequins

Want to add some serious glam to your space?  Adding just a few sequins will add some major sparkle and shine and make quite the statement.  From adorning entire walls with sequins to adding a individual accent sequins, the possibilities are endless.

Let's start with the grandiose and work our way down.  First up we have the sequin accent wall: this is a bold, bold move, and you'd have to have the right kind of space to pull it off.  While it may look adorable in a little boutique or stunning in high fashion clothing store, sequining your living room wall may not always be the right move.  Now if you have a super modern home, you may be able to pull it off, otherwise I would save it for smaller walls and smaller doses.  For instance, maybe you could add some sparkle to a wall in your bedroom or bathroom.

These may be mosaic tiles, but you could achieve the same effect with sequins.

Moving down in scale we have furnishings.  One way I love adding sparkle to a room is through the shower curtain.  I personally am not a huge fan of full blown, sequin covered shower curtains, but I do love when they add sequin accents to it.

The image on the right is about as full of sequins as I could personally handle.  I much prefer the delicate sequin lines that accent the shower curtain below.

Sequin chairs are another way to glam up a space.  I love the different color options available, and I think they would make a great accent in a fun home office space.  The first three chairs sell at All Modern (which is a site I adore) for $2,900 a pop. I however, think these could be a great DIY...perhaps that's in my future?

Moving on down in scale again, we move into accents.  Pillows are by far one of my favorite things to be sequined.  They add just a touch of sparkle in a dose that any room can handle.

And last but not least, add some sparkle to your walls with a little wall art.  This particular art is a super simply DIY - just take some cut out letters from your local craft store and jazz it up with sequins and a hot glue gun.
