As technology has blossomed over the last couple of decades, we now live in a world full of smartphones and smartwatches that can tell time for not only your time zone but for many different locations all over the world at the same time. And for those who can’t spare the energy to glance down and look at the time, the option to ask various artificially intelligent systems such as Siri and Alexa and get an immediate response has now been made possible. As such, it’s clear to see that choosing a wall clock is no longer simply a functional choice.
Years ago, people would purchase wall clocks with the sole intent of using them as practical pieces within their houses. However, as the world has progressed, wall clocks have become a whole lot less functional, and have begun to serve as decorative centrepieces. For this reason, if you’re planning on purchasing a brand new wall clock for your home, you won’t be able to simply walk into your nearest home depot and pick the first one off the rack.
Below, we are going to walk you through everything you need to know when choosing a wall clock for your home.
- Choose Between Analogue or Digital
Before you can start browsing through wall clock options and pinning over stunning choices that stand out to you (which is what most of us love about shopping), it’s important to make sure that you’ve chosen between analogue of digital first. This will help you narrow down your options and save you a whole lot of time by cutting out a whole category of potential clocks from your list of options. If you need some help making this decision, you should consider the points below:
- Analogue clocks are best if you’re either going for a more decorative and artistic aesthetic or if you’re furnishing a home that has a more traditional overall décor style. If you’re looking for something like this.
- Digital clocks are best if you’re furnishing a modern home with a functional, yet sleek and minimalistic looking design style.
- Consider Style and Dimensions
Next up, you’ll want to further narrow down your options by taking a deep dive into your own desires. For this, you should think about what you’re really looking for, then consider similar options for purchase. Think about the room where you’ll be hanging said wall clock and its overall décor style (because your clock will need to complement this aesthetic). In addition, consider the size of the hanging area, then look for options that match those desired dimensions. All of these things will be sure to help you zero in on the right choice.
