Do you have a wall that needs a decorative element to bring your room to life? When designers talk about wall decor or home decorators are considering adding something to their walls, very few consider using a clock and opt for a water or oil painting or photos or another form of artwork.
Clocks are a great accessory piece and give a functional touch to a room. With the various shapes and sizes and design choices available finding one that works with your decor is almost effortless.
Decorative clocks have again gained popularity because they're easier to place on a hard to decorate wall than the other forms of wall decor. The best thing about wall clocks as an embellishment to your home is that they are easy to hang and almost everyone can do it with ease; it just takes a little bit of common sense. If the clock is heavy try to hang it from a stud. If the placement is not on a stud use an anchor to save yourself the repair of fixing your drywall should it go through.
If you have a large area you want to decorate, consider using a larger clock or for a unique and eclectic look you may want to try creating a grouping of clocks together. Want to add a kitchen clock? Again, consider using a clock with a larger face so you can easily see the time. If you have high ceilings try adding one of the chic over sized clocks to create a focal point. Spare bedrooms are also a great place to add a wall clock. This room often gets neglected in what I call the additional, yet functional wall decor section. How often have you been an overnight guest in someones home and the bedroom didn't have a clock?
Love unusual or bold designs but afraid to use them in your decor? A family room, den or home office is a fantastic place to add a unique wall clock.
Go ahead, have some fun, add your own personal style to your walls with of all things a clock!
Do you have other ways of using wall clocks? Have you done something unique? Please share your ideas!
The clock in the picture is very pretty ! I wish I had in my room.
It's a very good idea of decoration.

Wonderful finds here! Also, I made an interesting discovery. Here’s an excerpt from an article I wrote about it this month…
DÉCOR TIPS & QUIPS from AlphabetPIX.com
Bring Out The YOU In Your Home Decor!
Bill Blass said, “Style is primarily a matter of instinct.” Decorating takes on a new meaning for each individual. Different tastes in decor mean different furniture, artwork and color palettes. So what is the rule of thumb for making your place zing if it’s not a certain style, pattern, or color?
Bring out the Y-O-U!
Make a statement and let your personality shine through! Add your zing to make it pop. Hang something personal on the wall with a few well-chosen accents-bold and beautiful. The trend for decor is becoming more and more personalized.
Whatever you want to say while decorating, say it with your own individual style. Put it out there for the world to see and don’t look back. Express yourself! When people enter your home they’ll shoot you a complementary smile, knowing it looks and feels sooooo perfectly like you. And no one can do YOU better.

I did a moving job about a year ago. And the family who ordered our service had this giant clock in the living room. That clock was the size of a piano. I remember what a challenge it was to move it.

It is a quite unusual clock. Its unique and cool to have at home. But, you can only see the time from one side, its a little disadvantage. Still, it looks great.
