Making a feature of a clock

The watch you wear says a lot about your personality. Together with your outfit, it's a strong statement of who you are and how you want to be perceived. In the same way, a wall clock for your home should match both your interior design, and most importantly, your character.

Create a focul point

I've seen many homes in my career as an interior designer that simply don't utilise a wall clock as a focul point to a room. It always baffles me why anyone would pour blood, sweat and tears into ensuring a room has the perfect 'feel' for them, and then simply hang a bland, dull and cheap clock on the wall... use the wall clock to make a statement!

Tips for wall clocks

Personally, my favourite room for a wall clock has to be the kitchen. I've always found that as general rule, the larger the kitchen clock the better, as it really allows the room to come alive and creates a unique, yet stylish look.

Another tip is to hang a clock on the wall opposite the entrance to a room. It may sound strange, but it helps to make a room feel bigger.. try it yourself and see!

Where to buy from

There are so many different styles of wall clock to choose from and the internet allows you to spend many hours searching for the right one.

You may prefer to choose a clock by seeing it 'in the flesh' - this is completely understandable. However, my advice would be to steer clear of the major retail outlets and head to the smaller, independant stores. If you want your wall clock to make a statement about you, make sure it's individual!

For the reasons above, I am a huge fan of notonthehighstreet.com, have a look at their clock page and find something that says something about you.
