Choosing the perfect clock for each room goes beyond functionality; it’s about selecting pieces which enhance your home’s design and reflect your unique style. At Newgate, we create timeless clocks that bring British heritage and design flair into the most stylish homes. Here’s our guide to finding the right clock for every room in your house, ensuring each space is both beautiful and practical.

In the living room, a wall clock can be a stylish focal point, enhancing the ambience and tying together design elements. Large wall clocks work particularly well here, especially when positioned above a mantelpiece or sofa; in fact, they can almost act as a work of art. Choose a style that complements your decor – roman numerals for a classic touch or minimalist markers for a modern aesthetic. If your living room receives a lot of natural light, a matte finish can prevent glare, ensuring your clock is as functional as it is beautiful.

If you’re looking to add a stylish yet cosy feel to your living room, a mantel clock can be the ideal choice. Quietly keeping time above a fireplace or on a shelf, a mantle clock is the ideal piece to subtly enhance your living room without taking too much focus (or wall space).

The kitchen is a space where functionality meets design, and a well-placed clock can achieve both. Consider placing a kitchen wall clock above a breakfast bar or by the kitchen window for easy visibility. For a traditional or rustic look, a vintage style wall clock can add warmth, while a modern clock suits a minimalist kitchen perfectly. If you prefer something subtle, opt for a clock in neutral shades like cream or grey.

A clock in the hallway adds a welcoming touch and ensures you can check the time before stepping out. Mantle clocks work beautifully here, placed on a console table alongside a vase or framed photo. For larger hallways, a small or medium sized wall clock can create visual interest without overwhelming the space. Since hallways often have limited natural light, a bold clock face can brighten the area and bring a sense of personality to this transitional space.

A dining room clock should complement rather than overpower the space. A medium sized wall clock works well above a sideboard or against a feature wall. Roman numerals can add a sense of sophistication, while a marker clock in metallic or neutral tones can offer a more modern, understated elegance. Position the clock where it’s easily visible yet balanced with the other decor elements to enhance the room’s harmonious feel.

In the bedroom, an alarm clock on the bedside table brings function and charm without disturbing a restful ambience. Look for an alarm clock with a classic or retro design in pastel tones to blend seamlessly with the room. If you prefer a wall clock, keep it modest in size and place it in a spot that’s visible but doesn’t draw too much attention, ensuring it doesn’t disrupt the calming atmosphere.

In the home office, a clock can be a powerful productivity tool. A wall clock placed above your desk or on a nearby wall allows you to keep track of time without relying on digital distractions. For a smaller office, a desk clock can add a sophisticated touch while keeping time in view. Choose a style that complements your workspace, such as a sleek, modern design for a contemporary setup, or a retro inspired clock for a quirkier look that adds a little personality to your work space.
