A kitchen clock is more than just a functional timepiece; it’s a design statement that can elevate the entire look of your space. At Newgate, we craft clocks with a focus on timeless British style, creating pieces beloved by interior designers and found in the most stylish homes. Whether you're seeking a bold centrepiece or a subtle accent, a well chosen clock can enhance your kitchen's aesthetic and bring together its design elements seamlessly. Here’s how to incorporate the perfect kitchen clock into your interior design…
Large wall clocks: a statement piece
A large wall clock can serve as a striking focal point in the kitchen, capturing attention and adding depth to the space. Placed above a dining table, breakfast bar, or in an open plan kitchen, a large clock with a distinctive frame or unique face can tie together various design elements, from cabinetry colours to seating styles.
Newgate’s collection of oversized wall clocks offers a variety of styles, from classic to modern, so you can find the ideal piece that resonates with your home’s character.
Mantle clocks: timeless charm
For those who prefer a more subtle approach, a mantle clock can be a charming addition to a kitchen shelf or countertop. Mantle clocks bring a touch of vintage elegance, perfect for adding warmth to traditional and contemporary kitchens alike. Positioned against a splashback or nestled among decorative objects like books or candles, a mantle clock enhances the visual appeal of your surfaces without overwhelming the space. These pieces are particularly suited to kitchens where cosiness and personal style are key elements of the design.
Subtle neutral shades for sophistication
A neutral clock in shades of cream, grey, black, or subtle green can add sophistication without drawing too much attention; an ideal choice for minimalist kitchens or spaces that feature bold cabinetry or statement tiles. Subtle hues allow the clock to blend harmoniously with other design elements, enhancing rather than competing. Neutral tones are also versatile and perennially chic, effortlessly complementing both warm and cool colour schemes, making them a natural fit in classic, modern, and Scandinavian inspired kitchens.
Roman numeral vs arabic vs marker faces
The face of a clock can greatly influence the atmosphere of a room. Roman numerals evoke a sense of tradition and heritage, making them perfect for kitchens with a classic or vintage inspired look. Arabic numerals are ideal for a clean and modern feel, bringing a touch of contemporary style that suits both minimalist and eclectic designs. Or, if your kitchen is more of a sleek, understated style, a marker clock face offers simplicity and elegance. Each choice subtly changes the tone of the space, allowing you to convey your unique design perspective.
The finishing touch in the kitchen
A kitchen clock from Newgate isn’t merely about keeping time; it’s a reflection of taste, style, and heritage. Whether you're drawn to a large wall clock that anchors the room or a charming mantle clock that adds warmth, each piece is crafted to bring a touch of British style into your home.
By thoughtfully choosing the right size, colour, and face, you can transform your kitchen with a clock that is as functional as it is beautiful, creating a stylish and cohesive space you'll love spending time in. Find the ideal Newgate kitchen clock and bring timeless British charm to the heart of your home.
