Wall Clocks

A considered wall clock turns a functional need into a sculptural object, and our wall clock collection spans Vitra's George Nelson reissues through to contemporary designs from leading European studios. Materials include solid timber, brass, painted metal and minimalist glass fronts, in diameters from 20cm occasional clocks to 80cm statement pieces. Every clock uses quartz or mechanical movements rated for long-term accuracy.

    A wall clock works best at a height where it's clearly visible without tilting the head, usually 150 to 170cm from the floor to the centre of the clock. Position it somewhere the eye naturally lands, such as above a fireplace, in a hallway or on a kitchen wall. Avoid placing clocks above frequently-used seating where the ticking might intrude.

    Small rooms suit clocks from 20 to 35cm, medium rooms 35 to 55cm, and large or double-height spaces can take 60cm and above. The clock should be visible from across the room without dominating the wall. Oversized clocks on plain walls read as deliberate statements.

    Some of our contemporary clock movements are silent-sweep, ideal for bedrooms and quiet studies; others use traditional ticking movements that suit kitchens and busier rooms. The product page notes whether the clock runs silent. Mechanical clocks with visible pendulums intentionally tick.

    Dust the clock face and frame with a soft cloth every few weeks, avoiding wet cleaning on timber and brass pieces. Replace batteries annually in quartz movements, even if not strictly exhausted, to prevent leakage damage. Mechanical clocks benefit from periodic servicing by a specialist every few years.

      The 8 Best Wall Clock Designs
      Whilst we aren’t at a loss for ways to tell the time in the digital age, the wall clock is far from a redundant home accessory. A unique wall clock can add both functionality and style to the home. Whether you’re keen to keep an eager eye on the time or just looking for a way to spruce up your interiors, the clock is a homeware hero. And as most of us become more adapted to the WFH set-up, a unique wall clock is also perfect for making home offices feel more professional. While you may not be counting down the hours until clocking off right now, it’s still a great way to dress up your walls. So, to help you choose the right clock to complement your space, here's a handful of our favourite designs. Pik Wall Clock By Ligne Roset Elegant yet minimalist, the Pik Wall Clock will lend a sophisticated finishing touch to your space. An innovative Ligne Roset design, it plays with the harmony of largeness and lightness to create a functional piece. Crafted with a polished chrome face and lacquered walnut hands, it complements understated interiors particularly well. Popsicle Clock By George Nelson for Vitra Resembling its namesake (the popsicle stick), the Popsicle’s diverse shape makes it a truly unique piece. Crafted from a structure of flat walnut rods, its playful yet uniformed design creates a true centrepiece and defining focal point. And as it's designed as part of George Nelson’s iconic clock collection, it’s rich in both history and aesthetics. Double Rings Wall Clock By Nomon Unlike the traditional clock, the Double Rings features no face. Instead, it’s constructed of two thin fibreglass frames that work to create unique shadows and silhouettes. This lightweight design epitomises Nomon’s modern approach. Combining minimalism with opulent materials, the rounded structure provides a stylish focal point. Eye Wall Clock By George Nelson for Vitra The Eye’s playful silhouette offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional clock.

An original George Nelson design, its playful, mid-century style makes it a striking statement in any space. Eslabon Gold & Black Marble Clock By Nomon This beautiful avant-garde pendant clock is perfect for decorating the walls of any modern living space. Inspired by jewellery design, the curved metal handles hold the clock face and give it a subtle lightness. Crafted in gold and black marble, the Eslabon is a subtle yet striking piece that’s just as much about aesthetics as it is practicality. Pluto Starburst Gold Wall Clock By Newgate The Pluto Starburst captures the energy of mid-century modernism to bring a burst of nostalgic style to your home. One of Newgate’s best-selling clocks, its geometric wooden construction echoes classic 1950s designs. Finished with a vintage-style spun brass-effect dial at its centre, it lights up the room with its bright golden tone. Box Office Wall Clock By Newgate Mimicking mid-century design attributes, the Box Office is a stylish and practical addition to the home. This ultra-chic clock features a spun brass face and a retro screen-printed dial with multi-coloured hour markers for an eccentric contrast.

      How To Create A Picture Wall
      Found in living rooms, offices and cafés across the globe, the picture wall trend shows no signs of stopping. Also known as a gallery wall, this versatile feature is a great way to add personality to your home. The best part is that it’s easy to do yourself. While creating a picture wall can be a daunting prospect, there is plenty of helpful advice out there. We will guide you on how to pick your prints, how to hang a picture frame and what mistakes not to make. Choose with care First of all, select what you would like to display on your wall. Combine art reproductions, original drawings and pressed flowers with photographs and children’s artwork. When picking your frames, don’t be afraid to get crafty. Spruce up an old frame with a lick of paint or recycle leftover DIY materials to create your own personalised design. TOP TIP: A picture wall comes into its own when it looks collected. We recommend taking your time to compile every print and frame you’d like to include, rather than buying them in bulk. Laying it out One way of laying out your picture wall is to plan it round your favourite piece of artwork. This can mean coordinating your colour scheme round it or using it as a central focus for the entire wall. Once you’ve made your selection, use masking tape on the wall to find the perfect placement. Before you get the hammer out, consider whether using nails is the way to go. If you live in a rented property or are likely to reorganise your gallery wall regularly, then picture hanging strips might be a good choice. TOP TIP: Don’t just stick to traditional frames. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not use washi tape to display your prints? This works particularly well when displaying low-cost items like postcards. Now to hang it Once you’ve created a template for the gallery wall, it’s time to start hanging the pictures. At this point, you may choose to enlist a builder or decorator to help. However, for the DIY enthusiasts it’s time to get crafty. For small prints, a simple nail or hook will likely do the trick. Medium-sized prints call for two hooks or nails. This is especially the case if the frame is displayed landscape as it is more likely to stay centred. For heavier frames, opt for a more robust anchor, such as a plastic wall plug, to secure it. If your frame has a wire, remember to take it into account when measuring up. SHOP WALL ART SHOP FRAMES

      Modern Wall Art Ideas To Refresh The Home
      As we’ve spent most of (if not all) our time indoors this year, we’ve come to realise how important the home really is. So it’s inevitable that many of us will now be searching for ways to refresh or revamp our interiors. And modern wall art offers the perfect solution. Whether you’re looking to bring your empty walls to life or searching for a way to create a stylish centrepiece, wall art will bring instant charm and character. Regardless of your style or the size of your space, we’ve got the simple tricks to transform your decor. Here, we share those tips with you. Create a gallery wall A gallery wall is the perfect way to bring charm, character and colour to bare walls. A curated display of modern art, posters and prints, it will instantly update your interiors and create a focal point in the home. Opt for simple frames in a single finish or wood, or mix it up with elaborate variations. Then extend from the floor to the ceiling to create the illusion of space. Display throughout the home Modern wall art has the potential to bring every room in the house to life. So don’t neglect the bathroom or the home office, or even the kitchen. Oversized prints or photographs will demand attention and set the mood in small spaces. While monochrome prints will work well in minimalist spaces and vibrant pieces will enliven considered interiors. Match the space If you’re an avid fan of consistency, choose your modern wall art carefully. Select colours or patterns that match the tone and decor of the room you wish to display them. Choose pieces that match the style of your space, including any furniture or soft furnishings that you’ve already accumulated. Incorporate symmetry Experimenting with symmetry is the perfect way to inject a little visual interest into the home. Try hanging a large piece of artwork directly above a sideboard or cabinet, then place two table lamps on top on either side. This will not only transform your dull and drab walls, it’ll also bring character and charm to the entire room. Choose a theme If you chose your home decor based upon a theme, why not apply the same logic to your wall art. If you have beechy, bright walls and light floors, try light sketches and illustrations. And if you’ve dark, punchy walls, choose more bold and bright pieces. If you’re not sure of a theme, have a little fun experimenting until you find the one that’s right for you. Mix it up When it comes to wall art, you can really think outside of the box. While we love an artistic print, they really just are the start. Try hanging tapestries, throws or fabrics to create a sense of softness in your space. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even pin up a quilt. Whatever your style, try a little something different. Experiment with display Modern wall art shouldn’t necessarily be confined to one method of display. Of course you’ll want to hang some of your pieces, but you don’t have to hang them all. Try leaning artwork against the wall in some areas. A piece, or clutter of pieces, resting on a sideboard or sitting atop a bar cabinet can also look very stylish. Stick to a single piece As much as we love a gallery wall or collection of matching artwork, some rooms require a lot less. In more minimal or serene settings, a single piece is enough to make a statement on a blank wall. Illustrations and line work pieces work particularly well in these settings. Use a mirror to catch the light Nothing highlights the intricacies and beauty of artwork quite like artful plays of light. Try hanging a mirror in the centre of the room to catch the light. This will work to cleverly expand the room and illuminate both the room’s decor and your modern wall art. The reflection will also help to make a small space feel a lot bigger.
