Silver Wall Clocks
Buy the best silver wall clocks selected and recommended by interior designers. By Tara Gosselin.
Wall clocks serve more of a purpose than simply letting you know the time. They add the look of artwork to your walls and offer an alternative to framed prints or paintings. Often round in shape, they can fill empty spaces and work well as part of a gallery grouping of art pieces. These six analog wall clocks are all finished in silver and will add some pretty sparkle and life to any room where they are displayed.

When sourcing silver wall clocks, you need to determine what color furniture that clock will match. Silver is a true neutral, but there are some colors that go better with a cool metal as opposed to a warm metal such as gold or bronze.
Colors of furniture that go well with silver include dark woods (not golden, light, or yellow ones; stick with purple heart, mahogany, or oak), as well as darker, richer colors, such as navy, purple, black, dark green, or even maroon. Light colors that could go well with silver include grey, pale blue, sage, and lilac. In general, you’ll want to stay away from colors that have yellow or red undertones, such as pink or cream.
You can hang various items next to a silver wall clock including artwork, pictures, plants and mirrors. These serve as accents that emphasize the clock while making it look cohesive with the rest of your décor.
Pictures and artwork could be of family, friends, landscapes or events. Have these in different shapes from that of the silver clock. If you are hanging different pictures, have the frames in different sizes. Leave a space of about six inches around the clock to avoid a cluttered feel.
Decorating around a silver wall clock comes down to finding the right balance between your style preferences and what the clock already offers style-wise. Since the hangings can easily be removed and replaced, experiment with different ideas and see the one that stands out.
