1,562 Clocks

Smartphones, laptops and snazzy watches all help us to tell the time but there’s something quite refreshing about gazing up at a wall clock. That’s because clocks are part of the décor in our home, reflecting our personality, interests and sense of style. Whatever those may be, you will almost certainly be able to find a clock that suits you. Today there is an overwhelming choice of shapes, sizes and colours – from traditional favourites such as the grandfather clock, cuckoo clock and mantel clocks, to more contemporary options including artwork-inspired clock faces, the digital clock and the LED clock radio.

Before you press ‘buy’, here are a few things to consider:

How big should my clock be?


This depends on where you are going to put it. Perhaps you are looking for something with real stature to stand in the open hallway, in which case a pendulum clock would make the right first impression. Alternatively, a compact and quirky flip clock might be most appropriate in a small bedroom, placed on the bedside table. Keep in mind the existing décor and colour palette in your room and get a sense of its proportions, especially the amount of available wall and floor space. No point in buying a clock that you keep bumping into or straining to read. In a kids’ room you can afford to go a little over the top as they are still learning to tell the time. Encourage them to do so by choosing a design that means something to them, whether that’s because of the theme or the characters featured.

What style of clock should I choose?


Firstly, decide whether you prefer an analogue or digital clock. The former feels for decorative and tends to suit older properties better. However, there is often overlap between the two so if you can’t choose, then look around for something with a traditional face and artisanal feel that also incorporates clever technology. Next, consider if you need something with added functionality such as a radio alarm clock, the up-to-the-second precision of a radio controlled clock, a world clock map covering different time zones, a digital clock with information about the weather and tide, or a more specialised water resistant model such as a bathroom clock.

What colour of clock should I choose?


Take your lead from what’s already around you in the room and pick a colour or theme that complements that. For example, George Nelson’s Sunburst Clock would fit right into pop art-inspired lounge. 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 facing the kitchen island. 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.
