Wall Clocks: Practical Pieces With Personality
Phones tell the time, but a wall clock adds something special. It gives a room a focal point. The gentle swing of a pendulum also brings a sense of calm.
Pendulum Clocks
Pendulum clocks have a classic charm. Our metal sardine tin pendulum clock adds a coastal, quirky twist. It's a fun choice for kitchens and seaside-inspired homes.
Where to Hang a Wall Clock
- Kitchen – handy for timing meals and the school run.
- Hallway – a quick check before you head out.
- Living room – above a fireplace or sideboard as a focal point.
- Home office – helps you keep track without checking your phone.
Choosing a Size
A large clock suits a big empty wall or chimney breast. A smaller clock works in tight spaces. Above furniture, choose a clock about half to two thirds the furniture's width.
Hanging Height
Hang the centre at around 150 to 170cm so it's easy to read. In kitchens, keep it away from the hob, where steam and heat can affect the movement.
Battery and Care Tips
Replace batteries yearly to keep time accurate. Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid hanging clocks in direct sunlight or damp rooms.
Gift Ideas
A characterful clock makes a memorable housewarming gift. Coastal designs suit anyone living by the sea, like our Southsea neighbours.
