AW17/18 Design Trends: The Rise of the Square Sequin

The summer months may be drawing to a close but rather than mourning the end of long, sun drenched evenings, it is time to embrace autumn. Along with crisp mornings, colourful tree transformations and the reintroduction of hot drinks, this also marks the start of a new season of design – and sequin – trends. Regardless of whether you are interested in exploring the AW17/18 trends of urban chic and the new square sequin to help reinvent your own home or because you are a business wishing to boost sales and beat competitors, it is important that you are aware of what is popular.
Urban chic and Geometric Shapes

The industrial look has descended on the design world whereby designers are using concrete, marble and similar cold, stark materials within the home. By pairing these with bright and warm colours, the materials help to create a cosy urban feel that is beautiful in its contrasting nature. One of the best aspects of this trend is that these materials’ versatility allows them to be used as flooring, wall surfaces and furniture.
​
To coordinate with this sharp looking trend, the use of geometric shapes is set to continue growing in popularity this autumn which works well with our sequin wall designs. Geometric designs are a great addition to this modern interior design makeover as they create bright interiors while helping to balance and add an interesting dimension to the space.

The Square Sequin
To pay homage and integrate these autumn design trends, we have introduced a range of square sequins to our Shimmerwalls sequin wall collection. The square sequin design is an eye-catching alternative for commercial interiors or for the design conscious home. Its one of a kind nature allows it to stand out and draw attention while also integrating the use of colour and different materials in your chosen space.


The Aluminium Square is a great example of implementing the leading AW17/18 design trends of urban chic and geometric shapes. It adds a whole new dimension with its smooth texture and incorporates a modern feel within the space. For more inspiration, The Franklin Institute & Cree sequin wall design is a good place to start alongside our aluminium sequin square collection.

The Mirror Wall is a spectacular way to add light to any space through the use of mirrored square sequins while also adding colour and a visually appealing display. It is a hugely beneficial visual merchandising technique as its vibrant colours and mirrored effect catches the eye which is a powerful drawing factor if placed in a store window. The Gucci display (Creative: Chameleon Visual, Production: Gucci, Photography: Melvyn Vincent) is a fantastic example of how these square, mirror walls can be used.
