The ideal ratio for artwork on a wall is that it should cover about 2/3rds or 3/4ths of the wall space. Spots to consider hanging a clock would be above a mantle, near a desk in a study or in the homeвЂ™s entryway. A wall adjacent or in front of where youвЂ™re likely to be focused is a good choice as long as there is enough space. A wall that is behind the main sitting area is probably not the best choice in terms of directing attention to the clock. Once youвЂ™ve picked the wall you want to adorn, consider how much of a focal point it will become. So ideally, youвЂ™re best in picking a more or less bare wall or clearing some space on your chosen wall. Each unique piece, art or otherwise, should stand alone in order to command the viewerвЂ™s attention and set the tone. You also donвЂ™t want visual clutter to detract from the beauty of your clock, and itвЂ™s a good idea to space out statement pieces across different walls, or better yet, different rooms. If youвЂ™re getting an oversized clock as a statement piece, likely it should be the biggest thing on the wall, so itвЂ™s not competing for attention. With that in mind, we consider when and where should you choose a big wall clock? Fitting the SpaceДЄlthough there is no magic ratio of wall space to clock, youвЂ™ll still want to assess the available space that you have and how much of it that you want to fill. While that doesnвЂ™t discredit small clocks that are ornate or artistic, they tend not to attract the eye as much as a larger clock that simply occupies more visual space. Though smaller wall clocks are ideal for function and tight spaces, you may be looking to have a larger clock that is beautiful enough to double as a work of art. Before getting to that stage in clock-shopping, itвЂ™s a good idea to figure out what size clock you should be looking for to fit the space that youвЂ™re trying to fill.

ItвЂ™s sometimes an unfortunate reality that we find a clock that we absolutely adore, only to be concerned that itвЂ™s possibly either too big or too small for the space that we want to put it in.
