Wall Clocks
Time moves fast, especially for busy families. Between school drop-offs, work meetings, and getting dinner on the table, knowing the time at a glance is essential. But a wall clock is so much more than just a functional tool—it is often the heartbeat of a home’s decor. Whether you are looking to make a bold statement in your living room or simply need a reliable timekeeper for the kitchen, finding the right clock can tie a room together and keep your day running smoothly.
At Kohl’s, we believe that practical items should also bring joy and style to your space. You shouldn’t have to choose between a clock that keeps perfect time and one that looks beautiful on your wall. Our collection ranges from oversized, rustic pieces that act as wall art to sleek, modern designs that whisper elegance. With options for every budget and style, discovering the perfect timepiece is easier than ever.
Making a Statement with Large Wall Clocks
Large wall clocks are currently one of the most popular trends in home decor, and for good reason. An oversized wall clock—typically defined as anything with a diameter of 24 inches or more—acts as a focal point, much like a large painting or a mirror.
If you have a spacious living room with high ceilings or a large expanse of empty wall above a sofa, a large wall clock is a fantastic solution. It fills the visual void without adding clutter. When choosing an oversized clock, treat it as your primary piece of wall art. Look for open-faced designs (clocks without glass covers) in metal or wood to add texture and depth to the wall without making the room feel closed in.
Design Tip: If you choose a large wall clock, give it room to breathe. Leave at least 6 to 12 inches of wall space around the clock’s perimeter so it frames the space rather than crowding it.
Analog vs. Digital Wall Clocks
Most decorative clocks are analog (using hour and minute hands), which offers a classic look and helps children learn to read time spatially. However, digital wall clocks have their own set of advantages.
Digital clocks are incredibly precise and easy to read from a distance, making them excellent choices for home gyms, garages, or large rec rooms. Many digital models also display the date, day of the week, and indoor temperature—handy information for busy parents trying to dress the kids for the weather before rushing out the door.
Room-by-Room Guide: Where to Hang Your Clock
Placing a clock is an art form in itself. Here is how to select the right spot for "wall clocks for living rooms" and beyond.
The Living Room
The living room is often the central gathering place, making it the prime location for your most decorative piece. A common mistake is hanging a clock too high. The center of the clock should be at eye level—roughly 57 to 60 inches from the floor. If you are hanging it above a sofa or mantel, aim for 6 to 8 inches of clearance above the furniture to keep the arrangement cohesive.
The Kitchen
In the kitchen, function reigns supreme. Place your clock in the "triangle of sight"—visible from the stove, the sink, and the fridge. This ensures you can time a roast or check how many minutes until the bus arrives, no matter where you are standing. Smaller, vintage-inspired diner clocks look fantastic here.
The Entryway
Your entryway sets the tone for your home. A clock here serves a vital purpose: it’s the last thing you see before you leave and the first thing you see when you return. It keeps you on time for appointments and welcomes you back. A round, wood-framed clock paired with a console table and a mirror creates a functional and welcoming vignette.
