Minimalist interiors require table or wall clocks in strict, almost unpatterned cases. Classic prefers floor clocks, although there is a place for wall and table models in it too. If the room is equipped with a fireplace, then you simply cannot do without a mantel clock in the interior. Without such an element, the classic decor will remain somehow unfinished. Classics with equal pleasure will accept both traditional wall clocks with missing decorating details and a round pointer dial, and massive antique floor models inlaid with stones or decorated with carvings.

In a classic style, interior clocks in ultra-modern cases, with missing dials or electronic displays, will never take root. These are models exclusively for the avant-garde direction and high-tech style. By the way, in the avant-garde, surreal types of watches, which stand out for their asymmetrical shapes and wonderful dials, will look very good.

Bedroom clock

The coziness of a bedroom decor shouldn't be compromised by mismatched accessories. Here, nothing should interfere with calm relaxation, and certainly nothing should annoy. Access to the bedroom of outsiders, for obvious reasons, is limited, so in choosing a clock for this room, you can rely only on the originality of your own taste.

However, taking only your preferences as a basis, do not forget that the watch should be in harmony with the environment and not attract much attention with its brightness, contrast of style and absurdity of form.

Remember that in the bedroom it is preferable to hang a pastel-colored clock. The floral theme and mother-of-pearl shine are relevant.

Clock for the kitchen

The kitchen is, perhaps, the only room where the clock will be most in demand for its main purpose. Time must be monitored when preparing food, waiting for guests, so the kitchen clock should not only match stylistically, but also allow you to clearly see the numbers and hands. This does not mean at all that the clock hanging in the interior of the kitchen should be overall and monochrome.. On the contrary, it is worth choosing original models with a “tasty” theme and unusual shapes of arrows, which can look like, say, a knife and fork.
