When it comes to decorating your home, it’s the accessories that truly complete the look. Whether you’re going for a modern or traditional interior design scheme, a clock can add interest to the space as well as instate a practical feature. But with so many great designs out there, how can you find the right clock for your home? Our homeware experts share their top tips for shopping for a clock to cement your new décor look.
There are countless clock types available, from manual clocks and pendulum designs to digital and electric varieties. Each clock type has its own pros and cons. For instance, manual clocks that run without any form of electricity are rarer and therefore more expensive but are more energy efficient and sport impressive designs.
Electric clocks are more widely available. They use batteries or plugs to operate, and are accessible in both modern and traditional styles.
The mounting style of the clock is also an important consideration. Wall clocks are extremely popular, whilst mantel and table top clocks are other great options.
Your clock choice is certain to be influenced by its placement. A kitchen clock for example may be a more practical, simplistic design than a clock used to decorate the living room or hall. Think carefully about where your clock will be hung or placed, will you be using it to check the time or will it be added for purely aesthetic purposes?
Your overall interior design scheme will dictate what style of clock is the right pick. Clocks are available in a wide range of colours and styles, from the subtle, traditional but interesting to the bright, outlandish and creative.
Let the colour scheme of your room be your guide and choose a complementary shade if you want a more laidback look. Alternatively, you can use your clock to add a pop of colour. You could also create a feature by opting for a larger than life design.
