Nowadays, wall clocks are used not only to know what time it is, but also to decorate rooms in the house. A detail in the interior clearly demonstrates the good taste of the owners and becomes an element of pride. Antique and vintage watches are considered the most popular. Modern elements are decorated in different frames. The material for the frame can be wood, plastic, fabric, porcelain or metal.
Multiple ideas allow you to use watches in different design solutions used in the interior.
Hanging according to Feng Shui
Ekaterina, designer of the Cozy Apartment studio, Feng Shui specialist: “According to the philosophy of Feng Shui, clocks, especially wall clocks, are a powerful tool that promotes the flow of favorable energy in the house.

This doctrine recognizes only classic watch movements, and there is no talk of electronic versions. And the location of the wall clock varies depending on the cardinal directions. Thus, a clock located in the southeastern part of the house helps to strengthen marital and intimate relationships, and in the southeast - to attract financial success. It is good if the clocks in these two cardinal directions are made of wood and have a clear shape and dark colors - green, blue, purple, black. Clocks in the southwest are responsible for love and romantic adventures, and in the west they protect the health and well-being of children. If you strive for professional growth, new knowledge or travel, your wall clock should be in the north, northeast and northwest, respectively. Choose those with round metal frames, blue or silver. You can’t hang a wall clock opposite the entrance to the house, and you can’t allow the elements to clash—for example, placing a clock with a metal case in the eastern sector.”

Clock in the living room
If your home has wall models that are historical in nature, then their place is in the hall. Only in this room will the decorative detail be appreciated not only by relatives, but by friends. The clock in the living room acts as a decorative accent.
Carefully choose the model option for this room. It could be a cheap antique watch with pictures of nature or photos of celebrities. It doesn’t matter what decor you choose, the main thing is that it matches the interior of the room.
For classic or modern style, models made of natural wood with bronze inserts are suitable. This combination will make the room representative. For a room with restrained simplicity, purchase cuckoo walkers.
Do you need a clock in the bedroom?
This room should be cozy and no accessories in the decor should interfere with rest and relaxation. A bedroom is a place where only its owners go, so the choice of watch depends only on their wishes. Do not forget that the model must fit harmoniously into the overall environment.
Choose a watch in a soft beige shade; it will not attract special attention and will stand out in the interior. Types that have animal images on the dial or frame are ideal.
A pair of swans or cooing doves symbolize fidelity. Some models allow you to insert frames with photographs of a married couple into the dial. The most important thing when choosing is to listen to the mechanism; it should not work loudly.
The big exception
Keep quiet.
The sleeping area is perhaps the only option (besides the restroom, of course) where a large wall clock may not even be appropriate. This is a rest room, and keeping track of the time, just like listening to the ticking of hands while falling asleep, is of no use here. An exception could be a relatively quiet family heirloom or an antique dial that emphasizes the interior style of the room. In other cases, a small table clock in the bedroom will be enough to prevent you from oversleeping.

Walkers for children's room
There are quite different models designed for children. Choose a watch according to the child's age. If your child is able to make an independent choice, then take him with you and make a purchase together. You are needed to check the safety of the material and how reliable and strong the structure is.
A large clock in the interior of a nursery will look ridiculous and impractical, because the fidget may accidentally get caught or get hurt.
Clock in the kitchen
In this room, the clock will be able to fulfill its main purpose. The housewife spends time preparing food or waiting for relatives to arrive. Thus, the kitchen clock must not only fit into the stylistic design, but also have distinct numbers and hands.
You shouldn’t place a huge type, as long as all the elements under the dial are clearly visible.
Hallway
Most people don't use walkers in this room. But if the choice helps complement the overall style, then why not hang the clock in a prominent place. They will serve as a decorative addition to the interior. The clock in the hallway will influence the opinion of guests as soon as they cross the threshold of the house.
Our article contains a selection of photos of clocks in the interior. The illustrations will help you make the right choice. After all, a clock should not only show the time, but also harmonize with the design solution in the room.
feng shui clock
- A device capable of measuring such an invisible and intangible element as time remains a sacred object even today, which is why it occupies a special, honorable place in the philosophy of Feng Shui.

It is believed that if you really want to have them, then this is allowed only at work. And even then, it’s a stretch. After all, they can significantly ruin the life of their owner - even causing migraines.
Watch
- According to Feng Shui, mechanical watches are the true masters of time and energy, which they can accelerate. With the right approach, they can easily create a favorable energetic atmosphere in your home, especially if you place them in those rooms where your household spends more time doing active things. In practice, such places are rooms for receiving guests or professional activities, a kitchen, and so on.
- According to Feng Shui, an hourglass is a device that is often used in Feng Shui philosophy, because they are made from natural materials and are therefore considered “living”. The smooth flow of grains of sand symbolizes infinity and activates the positive vital energy of the space and the people in it.
- You can increase the beneficial effect of the hourglass on your home by purchasing a device with a wooden frame. This will significantly add vital energy in the places where you earn money (office, workshop, etc.), give impetus to new ideas and projects, help you master new knowledge and skills, and in general, get rid of the blues, laziness, and lack of discipline.
