Kitchen Wall Clocks

Kitchen Wall Clocks

Clocks are useful in any room of the house. When used as wall decor, they are little pieces of art and functional at the same time. These days, there are many styles to choose from but one way to get truly unique timepieces that totally matches your kitchen is by making your own kitchen wall clocks. Here are a few ideas on how you can make them using things that can be found in your home (and a clock mechanism):

Plates can be turned into beautiful timepieces; just think of all the fun designs you can find. But even a plain plate works - it becomes an understated and modern clock. All you need to do is very carefully drill a hole in the middle of the plate, then attach the clock mechanism and mount it on the wall. Or if you are using an heirloom or a plate you'd rather not drill through, look for an adhesive clock mechanism you can just add to the front.

There are decorative kitchen wall clocks in any style you may like. For example, if you have a minimalist style of kitchen, a digital wall clock would fit in well. If you've got a large, plain wall available you can make a statement with a bold, large wall clock. If you have dark wood kitchen cabinets you could choose an antique wall clock reproduction to complete the 'old world' look. Wooden gear clocks always provoke a lot of interest and comment if you've made it yourself from a kit. In fact, the only type of timepiece that you won't see in a kitchen is probably a grandfather clock!
