Creating a Unique Look with Clocks

Using clocks as decorative accents is an attractive and functional alternative to artwork and mirrors. A single clock or a grouping of clocks in various sizes makes a dramatic impact and can enhance any space beautifully. Clocks can hang from a wall or grace a mantel, bookshelf or table. Read on to learn how to create some fun looks with clocks in any room.

Rustic & Relaxed 

 

This oversized, rustic clock is a warm and inviting addition to the casual atmosphere depicted above. It's a unique "non-art" decorating solution. It functions as a backdrop for a textural layered effect that is enhanced by placing plants and objects in front of the clock. This relaxed and inviting look would work in any room.



Eclectic Grouping


In contrast to the first example, multiple clocks are arranged in this seating area. The varied assortment of styles create a dramatic display that enhances the exposed brick. This decorating style is perfect for a space with high ceilings such as an urban loft or office, or a room with a vaulted ceiling.



Cozy Work Space


This tiny home office is livened up and made interesting by the use of multiple wall clocks. They are unexpected in this space and create depth and texture. The Roman numerals on the clock faces provide a shared common element while the variation in clock sizes and materials is complemented by the rich natural tones of the wicker and wood furniture


An Eclectic Collection


Finally, this eclectic decorating style is enhanced by clocks grouped with framed artwork and decorative pieces. It illustrates how the varied components work together to create a visually interesting arrangement. It's a perfect way to show off your collections. The look can be easily altered to reflect evolving personal tastes and style.
