The best place to hang a wall clock in a kitchen depends on your room’s layout. Ideally, you should be able to see it when you’re cooking to keep an eye on the time, so choose a fairly empty wall that you can look at when you’re hanging around your main countertop. The easiest way to do so is to place your kitchen wall clock at eye level or just above.
Alternatively, if you have an open-plan kitchen, you might want to kill two birds with one stone by placing your clock on a wall that can be gazed at easily both from the kitchen and your living room.
Kitchen wall clocks need to be easy to see, but you might not have a lot of wall space to work with in your kitchen. As many kitchens tend to have shelving and cabinets where one might usually put a clock, you’ll need to pick a strategic size. A diameter of 12” to 18” is a good size for a wall clock you can easily see and read from across the room; if you’re purchasing a rectangular one, go for 12” or 18” inch sides.
While quartz clocks are the most common on the market and easy to maintain, they may encounter some problems from time to time. The most common issue is a dead battery, in which case replacing it with a new one will resolve the issue.
However, if it doesn't, you may need to check if the hands are touching or hitting any other part of the kitchen wall clock. Cleaning and drying the terminals from time to time is another way to maintain the clock. Finally, reducing friction and ensuring that the hands are not touching each other will ensure that your kitchen wall clock works effortlessly.
