Wall Clocks FAQs

Where should I hang my wall clock?

If you choose to display a wall clock at home, it's important to hang it in a space that has a few key qualities. Ideally, any wall clocks will be in a space that is easy to see and accessible to the whole family, so areas like the kitchen, dining and living room are good choices.

Both vintage and modern clocks will always make a faint ticking noise, and at night this noise may seem quite loud! If you prefer quiet when you sleep, make sure the house clock isn't hung anywhere near bedroom doors or vents.

How to measure wall clock size

When hanging art, the general rule of thumb is that you want two-thirds of your wall space to be covered. For a large wall, this can seem like a lot of space to use - even the largest of decorative clocks may look a little lost hanging on their own on a wide wall. Make sure to support them with the right wall art if necessary!

The average wall clock diameter is between 30 to 60cm wide, with smaller clocks sitting at 21 cm and large clocks at a whopping 81cm - not far off from a metre! Large clocks can fend for themselves when hung in a smaller space, but smaller clocks should be kept from a large wall, as they will look lost and lonely all by themselves.

How to hang a clock on a wall

Hanging a clock can be done in the same way you would hang a picture on a wall. Be careful with nails and command strips, as clocks are heavier than they look, and the minute movements from the inner mechanisms may cause a weak hanging device to falter over time.

Look for specific hanging screws and hooks from hardware stores, as these are designed to stay in place and evenly distribute the weight of your wall clocks.
