Clocks
Clocks are far more than mere timekeepers – they're sophisticated design elements that seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetic appeal. Whether you're seeking a striking wall clock to anchor your living room, an elegant analog clock to complement your traditional décor, or a sleek digital clock for modern convenience, the right timepiece becomes an integral part of your home's character. At FW Homestores, our carefully curated collection features everything from statement large wall clocks that command attention to subtle designs that whisper elegance, ensuring every room receives the perfect finishing touch it deserves.
Types of Clocks We Offer
Our extensive collection caters to every taste, style preference, and functional requirement, making it effortless to find your ideal timepiece.
Wall Clocks represent the perfect marriage of practicality and visual appeal, making them ideal for kitchens where timing matters, living rooms that need focal points, or hallways requiring welcoming touches. These versatile pieces effortlessly blend into any décor scheme whilst providing essential functionality.
Large Wall Clocks make bold architectural statements, particularly suited to open-plan spaces, feature walls, or rooms with high ceilings. These commanding pieces serve as instant conversation starters whilst ensuring time remains visible from across generous spaces.
Analog Clocks embody timeless elegance with their traditional hands and classic mechanisms. These sophisticated timepieces complement vintage, country-style, or traditional homes beautifully, offering the gentle tick that many find reassuringly familiar.
Choosing the Right Clock for Your Home
Selecting the perfect clock requires consideration of several key factors to ensure both aesthetic harmony and practical satisfaction.
Room-specific placement plays a crucial role – wall clocks work beautifully in social spaces like living rooms and kitchens, whilst digital clocks often suit private areas such as bedrooms or home offices where their additional features prove most valuable. Consider your room's primary function and lighting conditions when making selections.
Material choices significantly impact both durability and style. Wooden frames offer warmth and traditional appeal, metal constructions provide industrial or contemporary edge, whilst glass or acrylic options create modern sophistication. Each material responds differently to various interior themes – rustic, minimalist, or eclectic.
Design coordination ensures your timepiece enhances rather than conflicts with existing décor. Large wall clocks work magnificently as statement pieces in rooms requiring dramatic focal points, whilst smaller designs integrate seamlessly into gallery walls or complement existing artwork arrangements.

Clock Styling Tips & Trends
Contemporary interior design embraces clocks as essential decorative elements rather than mere functional objects. Use timepieces strategically to add vertical interest or fill awkward wall spaces that traditional artwork might not suit.
Layering creates sophisticated visual depth – combine your wall clock with complementary mirrors, artwork, or floating shelves for dynamic gallery-style arrangements. Multiple smaller clocks can create intriguing feature walls, particularly effective in hallways or stairwells.
Current trends favour industrial aesthetics with exposed mechanisms, Scandinavian-inspired minimalism, oversized numerals for dramatic impact, and open-back designs that reveal beautiful mechanical workings. Mixed materials – combining wood with metal or incorporating rope details – add textural interest to contemporary spaces.
FAQs on Clocks
1. What are the different types of clocks available at FW Homestores?
Our comprehensive collection includes wall clocks in various sizes and styles, from compact kitchen designs to grand statement pieces. Large wall clocks cater to spacious rooms requiring bold focal points, whilst analog clocks offer traditional charm with mechanical movements and classic hands. Digital clocks provide modern convenience with LED or LCD displays, often featuring additional functions like temperature readings or alarm capabilities.
We also stock mantel clocks for traditional fireplace settings, desk clocks for offices and studies, and specialised designs including pendulum clocks, cuckoo clocks, and contemporary abstract timepieces. Materials range from solid wood and brushed metal to recycled materials and innovative composites, with finishes including natural wood stains, painted surfaces, antiqued metals, and contemporary powder coatings.
2. How do I choose the right wall clock for my room?
Selecting the perfect wall clock requires balancing size, style, visibility, and placement considerations. For size guidance, ensure your clock is proportionate to both the wall space and surrounding furniture – generally, clocks should be roughly one-third the width of the furniture piece below them.
Style coordination is crucial – match your clock to your room's aesthetic whether traditional, contemporary, industrial, or eclectic. Consider colour contrast against your wall – dark clocks work beautifully on light walls and vice versa. Placement should be at eye level when standing, typically 150-170cm from the floor, and ensure clear visibility from your room's main seating areas.
Consider the room's function too – kitchens benefit from easy-to-read faces, living rooms can accommodate decorative designs, whilst bedrooms might prefer quieter movements to avoid disturbing sleep.
3. What's the difference between an analog clock and a digital clock?
Analog clocks feature traditional moving hands on numbered faces, operated by mechanical or quartz movements. They offer timeless aesthetic appeal, gentle ticking sounds that many find soothing, and work beautifully in traditional, country, or vintage-inspired interiors. Reading time requires brief interpretation of hand positions, which some prefer for its engaging, mindful quality.
Digital clocks display time numerically using LED, LCD, or other electronic displays. They provide instant, precise time reading, often include additional features like temperature, date, or alarm functions, and suit contemporary, minimalist, or high-tech environments perfectly. They're particularly practical for precise timing needs or when visibility from distance is important.
Both styles offer unique advantages – analog clocks provide decorative charm and traditional appeal, whilst digital clocks maximise functionality and modern convenience.
4. Do you offer large wall clocks suitable for feature walls?
Absolutely! Our large wall clocks collection includes pieces ranging from 60cm to over 120cm in diameter, specifically designed to create dramatic focal points in spacious areas. These statement timepieces work magnificently in open-plan living areas, commercial spaces, loft apartments, and rooms with high ceilings where smaller clocks would appear insignificant.
Our selection includes industrial-style metal designs, rustic wooden pieces, contemporary minimalist options, and ornate traditional styles. Many feature oversized numerals for enhanced visibility and dramatic impact, whilst others showcase beautiful mechanical movements or artistic interpretations of traditional clock faces.
These substantial pieces require secure wall mounting, and we provide detailed installation guidance plus recommendations for appropriate wall fixings to ensure safe, permanent installation.
