Clocks often take last place when it comes to interior design, even though they are an essential part of it.

A well-chosen wall clock will transform the living areas of your house. For example, a large wall clock in the living room will attract attention and unconsciously make guests in the room pay more attention to the artistic details.

On the other hand, a poorly chosen clock will have the opposite effect by distorting the spirit of the room. In addition, clocks, like any other wall decoration object, will dress the wall, highlighting its color.

As I write these lines, we are in 2023, and the world is going digital. However, the Spanish still love the so-called "traditional" watches. However, the style of the watch has evolved a lot, and there are more and more designer watches and modern watches.

Despite this, the clocks of the past seem to return with force as if they had never left our homes. Indeed, vintage or industrial wall clocks add an antique touch and fit perfectly into most of today's interiors, mixing modernity and tradition.

In this article, we will see how to choose the right wall clock.

WHAT SIZE SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR MY WALL CLOCK?

Size is one of the most important elements when choosing to buy a watch. There are several reasons for this:

  • Obviously, the wall must be large enough to accommodate the clock.
  • Following the same logic, the free space around the clock must be large enough not to overload it.
  • Respect a quota between the size of the room and the size of the clock.


Of course, this requires common sense, but one often gets lost when faced with the myriad of watches out there. There are some rules that you must follow if you want to be sure that you choose the correct size. The size of the clock should never exceed the size of the wall divided by three. There should be a space at least half the size of the clock around it.





For example, if a clock is 40 cm tall, once installed there should be nothing around it within a radius of 20 cm (although there are exceptions in some cases where an attempt is made to recreate a particular style or ambiance).

Therefore, it stands to reason that you would go for a large wall clock for your living room.

Now that we've seen the size criteria, let's look at the color criteria.

WHICH COLOR TO CHOOSE FOR YOUR WALL CLOCK?

One of the hardest decisions to make is color. We've all had that moment where we have to choose what color to paint that room, imagining all the looks and results we can imagine.

The advantage, in this case, is that you already have the color of the room in which you want to put a clock. It is then a matter of choosing whether it harmonizes with the interior or is completely changed to highlight an element.

Explanation with an example: if we have a gray living room, I would strongly advise opting for a white wooden clock, which will immediately bring much more light to the room. Wood, especially if it is of good quality and very light, will "catch" the light and make the interior much brighter.

As you can see, color is a great way to brighten up an otherwise boring space. Incorporating a brightly colored wall clock can enhance the aesthetics of your interior. Contrasting colors and patterns are in style. Bright shades of lime and earthy shades of chilli red will be among the hottest shades of the coming year.

WHAT MATERIALS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE FOR YOUR WALL CLOCK?

There are three main types of materials for watches:

WOOD

Used since the dawn of time, wood is a noble material. It is strong and robust, a watch made of quality wood can be passed down from generation to generation.

METAL / IRON

Raw and imposing, it is the material appreciated by factories. Excellent to bring an "industrial" effect to your interior.

ACRYLIC

Allows the manufacture of watches with synthetic products. This material, although more fragile than wood and metal, allows a greater "personalization" of the watch and, therefore, proposes unique designs.

There are also other materials with which watches can be made, such as glass and crystal.

The most important thing is the quality of the materials used. Our large glass wall clock is proof of this.

Now it's a matter of deciding which style to adopt according to your desires and your interior.


WHICH STYLE OF WALL CLOCK SHOULD I CHOOSE?

There are many different styles, each bringing a different vibe to a home. It is essential to know them if you want to have meaningful interior decoration.

Here we will detail those that are most fashionable at the moment, it is advisable to maintain the same style throughout the house. It is advisable to keep the same style throughout the house, although mixing some styles can give an interesting result (at your own risk).

DIGITAL

Digital watches, by definition, are watches that do not show the time with hands, but rather through a digital display. These watches have:

  • Digital Display: An easy-to-read, energy-efficient liquid crystal display.
  • Intelligent brightness: automatic light adjustment based on the light in the room (softer light when it is dark in the room to avoid damaging the eyes).
  • USB connection: no batteries are required, once connected the clock is autonomous.
  • All of our digital clocks are delivered with a power cord and adapter to operate them.
