We love clocks! They’re practical, add a decorative touch to each room and can reflect our personality, interests and sense of style. Clocks these days are available in a range of shapes, sizes and colours – from traditional favourites such as grandfather clocks, to more contemporary options such as decorative wall clocks. Read the following tips to find the perfect clock for your home:
This really comes down to where you are going to put it. Large wall clocks look fantastic in open hallways and large spaces, whereas small desk clocks, might be most appropriate placed on a bedside table. Keep in mind the existing décor in your room before making a decision and get a sense the rooms proportions, especially the amount of available wall and floor space.
Firstly, decide whether you prefer analogue or digital clocks. The former feels more decorative and tends to suit traditional interiors better. However, there is often overlap between the two so if you can’t choose then look around for clocks with traditional faces that also incorporate clever technology. Next, consider if you need something with added functionality such as radio alarm clocks, a world clock map covering different time zones, or a more specialised water resistant model such as a bathroom clock. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types of clocks:
Take your lead from what’s already around you in the room and pick a colour or theme that complements that. If you are looking for industrial kitchen clocks, a copper iron wall clock would look stunning above the stove or hung on a feature brick wall. Garden clocks need to withstand the elements so if you plan to add a little eccentric indulgence to your outdoors space, make sure it’s resilient and in a colour that will hide its wear well. A black Paddington Station wall clock in Victorian iron would do nicely.
