Time to Upgrade: The Best Wall Clocks for Every Style

Introduction

Wall clocks have long been a staple in every home—not just for telling time but also as a key element of interior décor. At Besbet, we offer a curated selection of premium-quality wall clocks trusted by homeowners across the UK.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about wall clocks—how to choose the right one, explore different styles, set the time accurately, install your clock securely, and ultimately discover what makes the perfect wall clock for your space.

How Do I Choose a Clock?

A. Consider Your Room

• Kitchen wall clocks should be easy to read at a glance while cooking or dining. Look for bold numbers and practical designs.
• Wall clocks for living room settings can be larger and more decorative, often acting as a statement piece on a feature wall.
• Lounge wall clocks blend comfort with sophistication, often combining classic or modern styles to suit a relaxing environment.

B. Match the Style

• A modern wall clock complements contemporary interiors with clean lines and bold finishes.
• A vintage wall clock brings nostalgic charm to spaces with rustic or antique-inspired décor.
• Prefer a touch of character? A retro wall clock can add personality and colour to a dull wall.
• A wooden wall clock offers warmth and texture, perfect for cozy, earthy, or Scandinavian-style homes.

C. Choose the Right Size & Colour

• For a bold contrast, a large black wall clock on a white or light-coloured wall will create a striking focal point.

D. Features to Look For

Aside from aesthetics, don’t forget to consider practical features that enhance daily use.

• A silent wall clock is perfect for bedrooms, home offices, or any space where quiet matters.
• Choose a modern-style wall clock with minimalist hands and easy readability for a sleek finish.
• In busy kitchens, large wall clocks with clear numbering and bold faces can make all the difference.

Which Type of Clock Is Best?

Analog vs. Digital Clocks

Type of Clock	Best For	Features	Pros	Cons
Analog Wall Clocks	Traditional, stylish spaces, vintage lovers	Classic design, hands that move in a circle	Timeless, decorative, often silent	Requires manual adjustment, less precise in some cases
Digital Wall Clocks	Modern homes, kitchen, offices	Digital readout, easy-to-read numbers	Clear, precise time, often with additional features like alarms	May lack aesthetic appeal, can be harder to blend into décor

Style-Specific Choices

• Modern Style Clocks: Perfect for contemporary homes. A modern wall clock adds a chic touch to your décor.
• Vintage or Retro Clocks: If you're a fan of nostalgia, a vintage wall clock or a retro wall clock will bring that old-world charm to your space.
• Wooden Clocks: A wooden wall clock offers warmth and texture, making it ideal for more rustic or cottage-style rooms.
• Large Wall Clocks: For a bold statement, opt for oversized clocks that become a striking focal point in your living room.

Best Options for Different Rooms

• Choose a modern wall clock for a sleek and functional décor piece.
• Kitchen: A kitchen clock with large, easy-to-read numbers and a practical design will make cooking and meal prep a breeze.

How to Fix a Clock on a Wall?

Here’s a guide to help you properly fix your clock on the wall.

Tools and Materials Needed

• Screwdriver (flat or Phillips, depending on the wall fixture)
• Measuring Tape (for precise placement)
• Level (to ensure your clock is hanging straight)
• Wall Hooks or Nails (appropriate for the weight of your clock)
• Drill (if necessary for heavier clocks)
• Pencil (for marking drill points)
• Wall Anchors (for heavier wall clocks)

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Choose the Right Spot
• Before fixing the clock, decide where it will be placed. For example, a large kitchen wall clock works best above the sink or on a large empty wall space in the kitchen. A all clock's large works well on spacious feature walls in living rooms.
2. Mark the Spot
• Use your measuring tape to ensure your clock is placed at eye level (roughly 57-60 inches from the floor).
3. Install the Hook or Nail
• For lighter clocks, a single nail or picture hook will suffice. For heavier kitchen wall clocks, use a strong wall anchor or screw hook.
• Drill a hole if needed (especially for large kitchen wall clocks) and insert a wall anchor to ensure stability.
4. Hang the Clock
• Once the hook or anchor is in place, carefully hang the clock. Use a level to double-check that the clock is hanging straight.
5. Adjust if Necessary
• After securing the clock, step back and adjust its position if needed to make sure it looks perfectly aligned with your room’s design.
