Di più su Clocks

As well as its obvious functional use, a clock can really add a little something-something to your abode. Go full frontal industrial chic with a stainless steel clock from Cloudnola, or unleash your inner country bumpkin with a rustic, copper timepiece from Nordahl Konings. If neither of those tickles your fancy, then you must be after something particularly spectacular, which is why Tothora’s surreal Wenge Loop clock is an absolute must for you.

On top of our extensive offering of contemporary designs covering all spectrums of the home decor continuum, we also deliver all our clocks straight to your door step with fast shipping and ready to hang. Making any splurges that little less guilty.

How To Choose Your Clock

First things first, you’ve got to decide if you are an analog or digital kinda person. To clarify, an analog clock is a traditional style that sees the time displayed by two hands that spin on the clock face’s dial, whereas a digital clock displays the time loud and clear using numbers.

Digital clocks are probs a bit easier to read (especially if it’s placed in a large room where you might need to read the time from afar), but they don’t always match every decor palette. Try out Cloudnola’s super slick, monochrome digital clock if you’ve got a spacious kitchen with marble counter tops and a minimalist colour scheme. Or, Jakub Velinsky’s concrete slab of a clock is an excellent analog choice, with bold red clock hands making this a striking ornament that’s displays the time ever so clearly.

Once you’ve chosen whether you want to go analog or digital, the next step is to decide what style and colour scheme to go for. This heavily depends on the room you’re decorating, and what the statement pieces within said room are saying. If your kitchen would give the Scandis a run for the money, what with your penchant for clean lines, sculptural details, and open, airy spaces, then deffo go for Nordahl Konings’ Lilje Wall Clock inspired be the Golden Ratio.

If your bedroom still resembles a typical uni dorm room (or you’re still in your uni dorm room), and you’ve got wall hanging, fairy lights and incense a plenty, then channel your bohemian aesthetic through Creativando’s colourful Pop Art graphics on their Karim clock face. Special shout-outs must go to their playful pink clock hands too. Or, Haoshi’s stunning clock with migrant birds flying round the edges is giving us serious romantic and whimsical feels.

Or, if your living room is a cosy den with raw wood, exposed stone and (if you’re particularly lucky) a wood-burning fireplace, then you are a rustic ranger through and through. To keep it snug, Tothora’s dark oak, slanted wooden block with stainless steel clock hands would look fab on top of a fireplace.

Last up: the Industrial look. This aesthetic sits right at the intersection of minimalist and urban grit. Imagine Industrial Revolution-era original factory fixtures meets hip urban graphic designer working in a downtown loft. Keep it sleek with Jakub Velinsky’s concrete clock in a black, grey and white colour scheme, or add some edges with Tothora’s black table totem clock.

As always, these are just guidelines - not rules. These are a selection of materials and designs that go together but if you’re not down with compartmentalises then mix and match to your hearts desire. A rustic clock can add a little spice into a Scandi home decor, whereas a flair of bohemia can be an interesting and stylish way to break up the harshness of the Industrial aesthetic.

Where To Put A Clock

A clock can feature in pretty much every room in your house. Whether you’re pouring a bowl of cereal in the kitchen before dashing off to work, or picking out a killer outfit for the party in your bedroom, be sure to have a beautiful clock hanging up so you’re not late to either engagement.

Then again, the hard part isn’t deciding which room to put your clock in (in fact, it’s probs the easiest bit), the hard part is deciding where exactly in the room you should put your clock.

A clock should be placed in a visible, uncluttered section of the room. Think above fireplaces in living rooms, above desks in a study room and on the wall facing the dining table in the dining room. You want the clock to be to align with your eye line so it catches your eye when your doing various tasks, ensuring you’re not running late for an important rendezvous. This means don’t hang your clock opposite a window or balcony, and instead hang it so it faces a door or is just to the side of it.

According to Feng Shui principles, you should never place a clock at the foot of your bed, and who are we to disagree with the ancient Chinese. Play it safe and go for one of our table clocks for your bedroom nightstand to keep the energy golden. Table clocks also look great on kitchen counter tops next to your cooking preparation area, so keep that in mind if you don’t have the wall space.

Once again, these are all just friendly suggestions so feel free to do what you like with your clock. Now all that’s left to do is choose the one for you. Quick, we’ll race you to the checkout.
