For most people, wall clocks are nothing more than a functional item. But did you know that clocks are the easiest ways to update your decor and to bring new life and new colours into wall decor? Think of a large designer wall clock – its unique oversized shape instantly draws attention to it, especially in a modern decor setting. Also, it becomes a focal point on the wall with ease and commands a certain presence in the room, being decorative and functional at the same time. Just like designer clocks can create a lasting impression, other kinds of clocks can also become perfect decorating accessories if you give attention to the location of the clock, the size of the clock, the materials used to make it and the colours it can bring in to the room.
A new modern way to recreate the look and feel of a room is to use a variety of wall clocks, displayed together in a cluster. However, to get this new decor idea right, you need to pick the same themed clocks. Either pick a variety of painted wall clocks that use accent colours existing in the room, or pick simple round modern wall clocks all with different rim detailing and ...
... colour to create an interesting feature. You can either hang all clocks in a row, aligned to the centre of the wall. Or, you can also create interesting patterns with clusters as you arrange the clocks in a funky shape. A great idea is to set the clocks at different times – this works especially well in a casual home decor where you have family members living in other continents where the time is different. The fact that you have 3 clocks hanging in a row, each showing time for different country (one of which is local)will create this spot in to a conversation starter, while you also now call your friends and relatives at normal local times rather than waking your sister in USA in the middle of the night!
While wall clocks can be added to any area – be it the outdoor patio or the bathroom, the design must be inspired by the theme. On large porch walls that are done in stone, metal grandfather clocks look great. Also, on a plain wall, an oversized stone finished clock will have just as striking a finish. Think of adding rhythm wall clocks to your dining area or the home office to create a quaint look, complete with musical notes.
What is even better is that a designer wall clock also makes for a perfect wedding, anniversary, and house warming as well as birthday gift. Have a nephew who loves dinosaurs? Or does your sister love nature inspired modern wall clocks that become pieces or art rather than a way to tell time? If so, get these clocks to become your signature birthday and anniversary gifting idea. You can even get wall clocks personalized at some stores and adding a family photograph to become the clock display is another excellent idea for a special gift.
