We’ve taken a little license with the idea of the classic grandfather clock in these seven picks, but when you see the reimaged design styling, we think you’ll agree that they’re something special. They each bring a fresh take on a time-honored idea and are just too cozy to relegate to the past.

Buying Guide

If the traditional brown wooden appearance of grandfather clocks doesn't appeal to you or wouldn't suit you home whatsoever, a white grandfather clock is the next thing you should consider. This has a totally different feel from the traditional brown clocks, and almost looks cartoon in nature. It has a French country feel, and is suitable for many country homes, as well as cottages, bungalows and other houses.

Much lighter and brighter than darker colors, you can experiment with the white colors and see which décor and items around your home will complement it or clash with it. Here are some popular styles of white grandfather clocks which you could consider for your home.

Once you have a white grandfather clock, it already looks more contemporary than a traditional clock would look. However, the modern white grandfather clock is very simple in appearance and omits many of the details and embellishments which would traditionally be seen. For example, the front of the clock is completely smooth, with the only detail being a circular ring in the center and the clock face at the top. The clock face may often omit the numbers, instead having just two hands which indicate the time.

For the homes which are trying to achieve a shabby chic look, nothing quite fits in as well as a distressed white grandfather clock. The weathered wood has been painted white but not varnished, so there is no shiny appearance. In its place, the distressed look makes this item appear vintage yet beautiful. The clock face has Roman numerals, and may also have a small amount of wording, such as where it was manufactured or the name of the designer.

Although many grandfather clocks have a circular clock face, you should also look at the styles which have a square or rectangular face. These can look much more similar to the traditional brown wooden grandfather clocks, allowing you to combine the more modern white color with an older and more vintage style. The clock face is often silver, contrasting beautifully with the white wooden exterior.

There are styles of white grandfather clock which are designed to be positioned on a table or unit rather than on the floor. This is a great solution if you only have a small home, such as an apartment or cottage. These look just like many of the designs already listed above, but are smaller in size and therefore more convenient to set up and move around.
