When it comes to getting the interior décor of your dreams, sometimes the secret may not be in splurging on the purchase of a lifetime, but rather finding the key elements that can make all the difference. Think of it as looking for the right ingredients to make a meal extraordinary; you wouldn’t change up the whole meal and every single ingredient, but instead try to find the pieces that would only enhance the flavour there already is.
The flavour enhancing ingredients in interior décor happen to be clocks. Ever since they first appeared, clocks have been subjected to changes over the centuries, and from the mere timepieces, they shifted towards ornamental pieces as well. Nowadays, the world of timekeeping devices is so vast you can buy clocks online, from brick and mortar stores or even at a neighborhood garage sale. There’s just the one for every home, room, wall, and corner to suit every taste. But before you buy clocks online, and if you don’t know where to start, go for table clocks.
Not only are they easy to move around, something to reassure you if you end up changing your mind on where you want them placed. But they’re very versatile as well, from the more classical and traditional mantle clocks made of natural materials (e.g. wood, concrete) in interesting shapes, such as the arch pendulum and the stunning chrome frame William & Smith clocks, to modern options that can be found in many versions, in the digital, or silent mini iPad clock form.
Best thing about table clocks is you can place them anywhere where you feel the interior could do with a bit of time statement, be it the library shelves, your side tables in the hall, as part of the hall tree, the coffee table in the living room, or on the mantelpiece – the choice is yours. When you’ve tried out spicing up with clocks, and seen the power they have over style, you’d be encouraged to make an even bolder statement like adding a grandfather clock to fill up awkward spaces, for instance making an empty corner pop out, or nestled right beside the lifeless staircase.
Of course, you can never have enough clocks in the bedroom, reminding you of the few minutes more of sleep you have in the morning, particularly a digital clock that has several other functions (such as serving as a radio, or extra light) can be the perfect addition. To make a grand impression, combine several clocks together and hang them on a monotonous wall; you’d be surprised of the artistic outcome. There are many more ways clocks can brighten up your interior. The more you think of it, the more ideas would start coming through your mind, and you’d be convinced the next makeover should focus on clocks solely. That’s what makes them special decorating elements.
