Decorating with Modern Wall Clocks

Although most people might imagine that modern wall clocks have few shape options, in reality, there are plenty of creative and unique options that turn this functional object into the abstract. While round or square forms in black or white shades are popular, there are other new and refreshed colours available that still maintain a modern flair. Depending on the feel, appearance and theme of the room, these timepieces do look stunning when paired with the right accessories. For instance, a black modern timepiece looks regal when teamed with shiny metallic accents.

Similarly, a large modern wall clock that showcases intriguing shapes and patterns becomes an interesting abstract in the living room, kitchen, dining room or hallway. Unlike more homely styles, which usually add extra texture to the scheme of things; modern wall clocks may sometimes spot a “less is more” design concept; and may feature an exquisite background with hands consisting of straight lines rather than the usual numeral setup. This instantly creates a fascinating and sculptural focal point that often fits seamlessly in minimalist and modern interior settings.

It can be nearly impossible to avoid throwing in a modern wall clock above a bookshelf or office desk, as you would a silent wall clock. The catch is to clear any clutter and get rid of any items that aren’t beautiful enough to paired it with. Team it with equally modern decorative accents; such as geometric ornaments or picture frames in wooden or metallic finishes for a stylish look. Depending on the size and shape of the clock; you may want to play with different heights when it comes to your arrangement for visual interest. The trick is to not overdo it but rather keep it simple and neat.
