While clocks are known for their association with time, they are more than just timekeepers. They are a statement piece that adds charm and personality to any living space while keeping you on schedule. Whether you prefer a classic wall piece or just need something to place up on your mantel, the right clock can enhance your home’s aesthetic. 

Take a look at our collection of quality clocks to see what is right for you.

Considerations

Clocks serve both decorative and functional purposes within your home, which makes them an essential part of interior design.

Purpose & Placement

Determine the use and placement of your timepiece to determine what kind of clock you need. Do you anticipate needing it for timekeeping, decoration, or both? Depending on your answer, you may want a decorative piece with embellishments and flare, while something more functional may have more visible hands and clear placement. 

Also, think about where you will be placing it. Whether it is in your bedroom or on a tabletop in your kitchen, placement is a key factor in determining its design.

Power & Maintenance

Consider the method by which you will be powering your clock. Battery-operated clocks are a great low-maintenance option that requires occasional battery replacements but is quite popular. Plug-in options are a great choice for digital and smart clocks but require an outlet nearby. Lastly, mechanical options are the neediest of the bunch as they require manual winding and regular maintenance but are the most charming of them all. 

Take your time to see what option is best for you, but if you just want a set-and-forget option, a battery-powered quartz timepiece is your best bet.

Mechanisms & Noise

Generally speaking, most clocks nowadays operate with quartz movement, which is an accurate, low-maintenance option. However, pieces with mechanical movement require ending and maintenance and are more rare due to their mechanisms. While quartz pieces may be easier to maintain, choose a mechanically operated timepiece if you want to add a touch of traditional craftsmanship to your space.

Additionally, you may find that some clocks make ticking sounds when they are running. If you are in a noise-sensitive area or want a quiet space, choose a quartz or digital clock for silent movement.

Types of Clocks

Below are a few popular choices available in our collection. We will be breaking them down here to help those who need a bit more detail on different styles or just want inspiration.

Wall

If you’re looking for something simple, something that can fit anywhere and doesn’t take up any floor or desk space, pick a classic wall clock. They are the perfect choice for living rooms, kitchens, offices, and hallways. Not only do they fit anywhere, but they are also available in modern, rustic, and industrial styles to match any interior design. Depending on how large you want your clock, you could make it a focal point of your room or maybe go for something small that adds subtle elegance.

Mantel

For those who need something accessible and easy to place on a tabletop, look no further than a mantel clock. They are the perfect choice to place on nightstands, office desks, or fire mantels. They are both compact and stylish, which makes them easy to fit just about anywhere. 

You can find them in analog, digital, and antique-inspired designs if that’s what floats your boat. While they may seem geared toward function, they can be used as an accent piece to complement your home decor, especially in small spaces.

Alarm

If you find yourself having trouble waking up in the morning or struggle to keep an organized schedule, get yourself an alarm clock. A few main features of an alarm clock include multiple alarms, snooze functions, and smart technology like weather and wireless charging, which makes it a hub for your tech. 

They are also available in analog, digital, and sunrise-simulating designs that warm up as the sun comes up. They are best suited for bedrooms, bedside tables, and offices where punctuality is a must.

Grandfather

Add a charming and traditional touch to your home with a classic grandfather clock. These old-fashioned pieces feature a tall freestanding design with pendulums and chimes that can make it the centerpiece of any room. They are a symbol of timeless elegance and craftsmanship recognizable by many. They work great with traditional homes, formal living rooms, and entryways, as they do require floor space.

What Size Should I Choose?

Here are some general guidelines regarding the size of your piece.

• Small (Under 12”) - Ideal for compact spaces such as kitchens or bedrooms

• Medium (12”-24”) - Great choice for standard living areas like living rooms and hallways

• Large (Over 24”) - Best used as statement decor or oversized walls

Are Smart Clocks A Good Option

Although they deviate from the traditional design of a clock, and it may seem like timekeeping is far from their most important feature, they can be quite useful for some people. They offer many features such as voice control, WiFi connectivity, alarms, weather updates, and some are even able to stream music. These timepieces are best suited for people with a lot of technology integrated into their home, such as smart light bulbs or smart pet feeders. 

Ensure a purchase like this makes sense for you or if it will be more of a hassle.
