Decorating With Unique Wall Clocks
Make a stunning and timely difference to your home with designer wall clocks. Placed in just the right spot on the wall — whether above a headboard or in the centre of a chimney breast, a new clock can really enhance a room and even completely change its character.
Always make sure you get the size right of clock in the first place. In the past it was believed that large wall clocks suited a more vintage and traditional room. That’s not necessarily the case today thought. There are plenty of large and unique wall clocks which can really make an impression in a small modern room (particularly if it’s a minimalist style you buy, rather than sculpted). They can lend an air of quirkiness and sophistication which a small clock face just couldn’t match.
Meanwhile, when it comes to the actual working of a vintage style clock, today’s version is far superior to than that of the original since it’ll come with modern electronics and comprise sturdier materials.
Clocks with a retro look can look great in a rustic-themed kitchen, bedroom or conservatory. They also look perfect with a shabby chic decor scheme. Many options are available online today from wrought iron, Roman numerals, vintage golden and even copper wall clocks.

Where to place a clock for best effect
Whether it’s retro or modern — you can always sit a clock above the fireplace in the sitting room (actually you can even simply rest it on the mantlepiece for a more casual look), above a console in the hallway and near the cooker in the kitchen (the latter for practical as well as aesthetic reasons).
If you love the look of your new clock then make sure everyone who visits your home sees it by hanging it directly across from the doorway so they can’t help but spy it. This is a great way to create a focal point in the room and giving time a stamp of your own personal style.
Another nice design style for clocks is to have two or three sitting alongside each other in a study — perfect if you have family you regularly communicate with around the globe (simply adapt the time on the clocks to mimic their time zones).
You can even hand a wall clock in your kitchen, just make sure to choose the right style that goes with your kitchen décor. Kitchen is where you spend a lot of time, so it only makes sense to always have an eye of time while cooking while enhancing the décor of your kitchen as well.
