Decorate With A Group Of Wall Clocks

You can group clocks in a variety of ways.


Clocks can be distinctive room accents, especially when arranged together on a wall. When you're grouping clocks on a wall, consider the space they're in and coordinate them with the style of the room. There are a number of imaginative ways to group wall clocks, but a geometric pattern is a simple and modern look that can be worked into nearly any room design. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Determine where in the room you want to hang your clocks. Choose a wall that is unadorned so your clocks will take center stage. The decor in the room should feel balanced, so try to pick a wall that's opposite one with large furniture or prominent wall decorations.


2. Choose clocks that are made of different materials, but try to stay within the general color palette of the room so they don't look out of place. Clocks that are the same shape but different colors can look stylish in a modern-looking arrangement.


3. Hang the clocks in a geometric pattern. Try to re-create shapes that are present in the room; for instance, if you have a diamond-patterned rug you could build a diamond-shaped clock arrangement.


4. Set the clocks at different times and remove the batteries. In a travel-themed room, you could set them to different time zones and leave them running, but multiple ticking clocks can quickly become irritating in a quiet room.


5. Hang a plain, empty picture frame around the clocks to create the look of cutting-edge art.
