These days, people are keen on styling and beautifying every part of their home; wall clocks too are very much a part of home decor
Ever realised how wall clocks have changed over the times? Not very long ago, people did not mind having a simple clock on the wall at home and all that mattered was how clear and bold the numbers on it were and whether or not they were able to see time clearly. But today, with changing times, people are keen on styling and beautifying every part of their homes, in the most creative manner. This eventually leads them to buy a wall clock that matches the colour of the wall. In most stores, you will find a wide range of clocks available that keep in mind people's increasing demand for getting something stylish and classy. Be it radium clocks or ones with cartoon/funny characters on it, stores offer a great variety as well.Nerul resident Manali Patil says that she recently got a clock with radium in it. The reason for this was her in-laws were keen on having a wall clock in their room in which they could see the time clearly in the night time as well. "My mother-in-law insisted that if I get a clock for their room, it had to be one with radium on it. I went to a watch store and picked up a real classy-looking clock for around
Rs1,400. I did not mind paying a little extra for this good-looking wall clock."
Pallavi Jambh, another housewife from Koparkhairane, said she was keen on getting a fancy, brightly-coloured wall clock for her kid's bedroom. "Everything in my little one's bedroom was done brilliantly, so I was keen on getting a clock in her room to match the green and yellow paints on the wall. Besides my son was extremely excited at looking at the clock mainly because it had some cartoon characters on it," says Mitra.
Even though old-style wall clocks occupy a huge space, they are quite in vogue these days. But the thing that matters most as far as these wall clocks are concerned is that one needs to allot it a lot of space in the house. "Although I like the old-style clocks, their prices are very high and they take up a lot of space too. I still remember a particular clock in a person's home which I had seen a few years ago. The clock had small frames all over it wherein one could fit tiny family pictures," says Panvel resisdent Ekta Bhaskar. "These days there are many people who are demanding the grandfather clocks. There is a specific store in the suburbs called the East India Company where these clocks are manufactured. These clocks have an hourly chimes in it, so after every hour there is a loud ring in the room.""For children's rooms, people generally prefer the cuckoo wall clock where after every hour the cuckoo comes out and informs the person about the time," says interior designer Priya Gurnani who has her own firm called Priya Gurnani Interiors in Sanpada. So, next time when you decide to purchase a wall clock for your home, see to it that you buy something so exclusive and chic that people want to look at time repeatedly because of it!
