A farmhouse chic windmill inspired giant clock
Greyscale shutters; quaint numbers; an open-frame construction. If you’re looking for a clock that will make a statement on your wall without feeling incredibly imposing, this is the one you want - trust us!
As farmhouse aesthetics tend to prioritize pastel colors and found objects, this neutrally-toned clock with a windmill design will fit in perfectly. We’d pair this specific clock with cool-toned colors for ultimate cohesion, or natural wood tones, instead of reds and yellows and pinks.
Square art deco huge wall clock
Perhaps farmhouse decor isn’t your thing. Maybe, instead, what you want is something totally gilded and glam from the ‘20s or ‘30s.
If you’re looking for a large wall clock that will pair well with maximalist vibes, a huge clock with a gilded frame, transparent back, and sleek roman numerals will be just the thing. We love the parallel lines of this type of clock—so reminiscent of the iconic geometric style that defined the Art Deco era.
Huge wall clocks inspired by historic antique maps
If you want a reminder that you want to use your time to travel the world, a gigantic wall clock that features a blue-and-grey world map as its base is the perfect thing. While this type of clock may be a little busy for a minimalist aesthetic, it would be right at home in a maximalist setting—or even as a sole statement piece in an industrial home.
With its rustic feel, its easy readability, and its huge size, this type of clock is likely best to stand alone on a wall so it doesn’t start to feel cluttered. Pair it with other white accent pieces to bring out the stark numbers in style!
A mixed metals giant clock wall
There are clocks that would work with industrial aesthetics, and then there are just straight-up industrial clocks. Forged of brass and iron, this Roman numerals clock is here to look stylish and industrial in your home.
Because it’s very metallic, we’ve found success styling this type of clock against materials with different textures, such as a brick wall, or with rattan furniture. Or, if you want to go all-in on the all-metal trend, place other cast iron, aluminum, or bronze fixtures in the room to establish a cohesive look.
Starburst Art Deco huge clock for wall
Ready for another early century trend?
The starburst or sputnik clock immediately draws your eye to it, but the many parallel lines easily makes your eye relax without overwhelming. The calm silver hue makes it feel upscaled but not ostentatious—and the clock face itself is relatively small.
In other words, if you’re looking for a glam statement clock without having huge numbers scrawled all over your room, you may find that this is exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Abstract silhouette 2 foot wall clock
Most clocks have numbers on them, right? At least a few—or one!
If you’re looking for a fully minimalist clock that doesn’t have any distracting details at all, this clock—merely a frame and the revolving hands—would be a beautiful addition to your home. With a shapely frame, subtle black matte feel, and very classic clock hand styling, this clock is upscale without being too ostentatious at all. We’d pair this with a modern industrial style of decor.
Huge clock that reminds us of a classic watch
Maybe minimalism isn’t your thing. Perhaps you’d rather have more information and visual interest—not less.
If so, take a look at this large wall clock. With numbers circling the edge in a classic retro font, gears in the middle, gilded hands, and even the numbers 13-24 encircling the middle, there’s a lot going on. However, this clock manages to make it all look good. (If you find yourself in need of a clock that immediately translates the 12-hour clock to a 24-hour one, this is a stylish way to get the job done!)

Our advice Buying Guide
Giant wall clocks can play a number of roles. Although their basic function is to tell time, they can also be used to add some decorative value to your living room. Wall clocks do come in many designs and colors. From contemporary modern options to antique and vintage designs, your options are indeed wide. However, there are still a few things that you need to keep in mind as you search for the perfect watch.
What are the two major categories of wall clocks?
Wall clocks come in two broad categories: analog and digital. The analog clocks feature hands. There will be an hour hand and a minute hand and sometimes a seconds hand but not always. Digital clocks, on the other hand, will have a digital numeral display. In case you want to buy something that really revamps your interior, an analog watch is good. But for people who are simply looking for a giant solution to tell time, a digital option is recommended.
How are giant wall clocks powered?
Giant wall clocks will either be battery-powered or mechanical. Mechanical clocks are often antique vintage designs. They require winding often in order to keep the time accurate. Battery-powered clocks are easy to operate. You can also find vintage designs that have been modified a bit to accommodate a battery. If you don’t want the hassle of winding the clocks all the time, the battery-powered option is perfect for you.
What shape and color of a giant wall clock should you choose?
The giant wall clock will probably be the centerpiece of the room you place it on. It will attract the attention of everyone. Clocks with shades of brown tend to be very good in this. Silver or golden designs are also popular but they can be too shouting. As for the shape, rounded clocks are perfect. This is more traditional but you can still find custom-made shapes that are very beautiful and elegant.
How to pick the right style and design of a giant wall clock?
In case you’re looking for a playful and quirky wall clock for the kid’s room, for example, a luminous style that glows in the dark could come handy. There are giant wall clocks that also offer an optical illusion on the background. This will be ideal for a commercial space.
However, if you’re buying a clock for your dining area or living room you need something simple but classier. Elegant vintage designs are very popular. This is because they bring a much bigger design value compared to any type of giant wall clocks out there. Make sure you’ve also considered the material. Traditional giant wall clock designs will come in metal, wood, or glass material. Glass is perfect for a classier more elegant look but custom metal and wood design may also work.
Buying a giant wall clock is simple as long as you know what you are looking for. The simple guide above should help you narrow down your options before finally making a purchase.
