In this modern world, every piece of technology is equipped with a clock, so having a clock on the wall is considered by many people to be out of fashion. However, have you ever wondered why sometimes even without batteries, some clocks still stay on the wall? The answer lies in the fact that they have long been used not only for tracking time. With them you can add a touch of freshness to your interior, so in this article we will look at the clock as something different.
To choose a suitable wall clock that blends in with the interior and does not stand out is sometimes a difficult task, so let's read the topic to the end. According to the functionality, there are two types of clocks. Digital or analog, both options have their advantages and disadvantages. Digital wall clocks are newer on the market and have many functions and extras, such as showing humidity and temperature in the room. They use very little energy due to the fact that they do not drive arrows, which is another advantage over ordinary models. Such models would fit well in almost any modern home, but in my opinion, they do not have the charm of their ancestors. Analogue clocks, on the other hand, can't deal with so many extras, but you can find a much larger variety of models that will fit on your wall. Therefore, when we consider the clock as a decorative element in the interior, I recommend choosing simple clock with hands.
According to the shape, they can be round, square or even bezel-less watches. It is possible that you will come across a variety of whimsical shapes that will impress you with their design. The most important thing is to choose a watch that matches the colors and the interior in general, because for example, a watch in the shape of a crocodile would not look good on pink walls.
What about the size of the wall clock? Although items with a minimalist design are in fashion, I like large and massive clocks without a frame. This way, they save me the "headache" of figuring out what to put on the big and empty wall. However, this model is suitable when the room is large, because if you have little space, a large clock would probably not be the best solution. Here you can choose a small and cute clock that will be centered on the wall. The place of the clock is presumptively on the wall, but this does not mean that you cannot experiment with its location. It can be on a desk or fireplace. It can even be on the ceiling. The rule here is that the clock can be seen from anywhere in the room, or at least from most of it. If, for example, you want to place a wall clock in the living room, it would be most harmonious if it were placed above the sofa or the table.
If we talk about the material from which the watch is made, the choice here is also large. You may find products made of wood, metal, glass or plastic. Wood is the best option when it comes to coziness and beauty. You can even seek the services of an experienced woodworker to make you a special and unique clock design. Of course, wood is vulnerable and its biggest fears are moisture and termites, so you should not put it in a kitchen or other rooms, in which there is moisture. Metal, plastic or stainless steel clocks, on the other hand, can handle moisture, but their mechanisms are also not resistant, so in practice they also cannot be placed in a kitchen or bathroom, for example. Glass wall clocks will create a modern look for the room. , but they collect a lot of dust on their surface, which shows and you need to regularly wipe the watch.
The color of the wall clock is also important when we buy it as part of the interior. For example, if your walls are gray, it would be logical to choose a gray clock, which of course should not "blend" with the color of the wall. Of course, contrasting combinations are also allowed, such as a white wall and a black clock. In fact the white wall would go with any color simply because it is white. It would also be wonderful to choose a color for the wall clock that matches the color of the sofa or the table for example.
If you are a fan of vintage style, a cuckoo clock would add a charming and finished look to your home.Once you've chosen your clock model, it's time to hang it on the wall. That's easy! It is enough to drive a small nail and thus provide yourself with a hanger.
