Many people have fond memories of that old wooden wall clock at Grandma’s house, chiming and ticking the hours away, and while memories are great, clocks have come a long way since Grandma’s day. Modern wall clocks are available in a wide variety of shapes, colors and styles, which makes finding a wall clock to fit the décor of your home a simple task.
Everyone needs a clock in the kitchen and they come in many guises: frying pans, teapots, kittens with swishing tails, bacon and eggs in a smiley face design, fat French chefs, and any number of fruits and vegetables. The same goes with wall clocks for other parts of your home. Consider hanging a martini glass clock with a green olive pendulum above your wet bar, a neon dartboard timepiece in the game room or perhaps a colorful resin fish clock for the bathroom.
There are endless choices when it comes to picking a wall clock for the nursery or child’s room. Favorite characters such as Tigger or Winnie the Pooh add a whimsical touch to the nursery, while an older girl may be more thrilled by a princess or fairy clock. Needless to say, a young boy will want a different theme, so let him tell time with a clock adorned with airplanes, racecars or one populated with wild animals peeking out from a green jungle.
Those of us who need bigger numbers because of poor vision or just as a more prominent reminder to be on time might consider one of many designs of large wall clocks. Think of the big white-faced clock in your ninth grade classroom or the gigantic red enamel one in your local diner. The industrial look is not only trendy but quite functional and can give your home a clean, streamlined look while providing efficient service.
Last but not least are the sort of wall clocks we usually only see in the movies. Yes, there are still clocks that feature a moving woodsman sawing a log, a bear repeatedly reaching into a honey pot, or the classic cuckoo calling out every hour on the hour. Be careful, though, this sort of clock could, over time, drive you cuckoo.
