Consider the following points, as you get ready to browse the best of what is on offer in the clock department.

Clocks in every shape and size: From wall clocks to the classic grandfather clock

A digital clock for morning alarms, cuckoo clock for bedtime stories, classic grandfather clock to spark nostalgia, or sleek wall clock to keep everyone in the house on the same hour: nothing keeps the world around us ticking the way a well-appointed clock can. And when it comes to selecting one that’s perfect for your home, the sky’s the limit. Here are some ideas to get the creative juices flowing:

Chalkboard wall clocks - have a young family that needs a creative outlet? Invest in a chalkboard wall clock that lets your little ones (and you!) decorate the different hours with squiggles and handwritten notes!

Subtle monochromatic hours instead of an entire clock face - these are wonderfully minimalist and perfectly complement any colour scheme or style that dominate the room.

A grandfather clock corner or pillar - this one’s straight out of your childhood. Invest in a beautiful grandfather clock to draw the eye - for a dramatic hallway or entry statement.

A classic cuckoo clock for the nursery - predictable yet perfect for your little one’s room to keep all those nap times and feeds on schedule.

A dining room clock radio - delightfully retro, a clock radio adds vintage style to any room. Maximise your cooking and eating time with something that’ll keep everyone abreast world events and what’s popular on the music charts.

Wall clocks for different time zones - simply hang wall clocks in different sizes, each set to a time zone that holds some meaning to your home. Have a sibling in another country? Make them a part of daily life with a clock set to their time zone.

Clocks as style statements

At its very heart, a clock is functional artwork. While you can tell time quite easily with your mobile phones, tablets, laptops (even that Fitbit bangle that counts calories to boot), only a clock can create the mood that seamlessly complements your home design style.

From glass or metallic modern wall clocks to more traditional wooden clocks, you’ll find one for every type of decor. You can use these as focal points that bring out a room’s personality, or simply have them match an existing design scheme.

If none of the clock nostalgia strikes you as interesting, several options still exist. Invest in a bluetooth alarm clock that also plays the radio, or a music dock that syncs music from all your devices while displaying time. Or perhaps you prefer the different physics-inspired mechanisms that keep a clock interesting and intriguing at the same time: a turbine clock, a spindle clock or ball clock are all great conversation pieces.

Whichever clock you end up with, rest assured it’ll be an important part of your family’s life for some time to come. So invest in one that’s perfectly in sync with your style and needs. It’s about time!
