Why Choose a Gold Wall Clock (Large)?
Let’s be honest — wall clocks aren’t just for telling time anymore. A large gold wall clock takes centre stage in any room, creating both practical and decorative appeal. Gold offers a timeless and warm metallic shine, perfect for breaking up plain walls or balancing out cooler tones like charcoal or navy.
If your interior is feeling flat or "unfinished," introducing a large gold wall clock is often the missing puzzle piece. The reflective quality of gold adds depth and interest instantly — especially in neutral spaces.
Top Pick from Future Decor: The W501 Hour Glass Gold – Days of Our Lives
When it comes to gold wall clocks that blend form and function, I absolutely love the W501 Hour Glass Gold – Days of Our Lives. It's one of the standout pieces in our Wall Clocks Collection. With clean, bold lines and a metallic gold finish, this timepiece becomes more than just a utility — it adds unmistakable elegance to your wall.
I installed mine in the living room above a wooden console, flanked by warm-toned vases and a few family frames. The compliments roll in whenever guests come over!
Where to Place a Large Gold Clock for Maximum Impact
Living Room Statement Wall
Above the sofa or fireplace is a classic position for a bold clock. Gold draws the eye immediately, so it's perfect for areas where you want people to gather and feel wowed.
Dining Area or Kitchen Accent
It might seem unusual, but a large gold clock looks stunning above a dining buffet or near your kitchen nook. Gold can soften the sterility of kitchen tiles and strengthen the warmth of wood cabinets or open shelves. Pair it with décor accessories from our Decor Collection for a cohesive look.
Entryway Elegance
Welcome guests with a clock that sets the tone for your entire home. Entry walls are often forgotten, but a bold clock and a side table with fresh flowers or reed diffusers can work wonders.
Design tip: Balance your gold clock with meaningful accents below it — think a narrow console, a rustic bowl, or a few layered frames. It keeps the wall grounded and connected to the rest of your aesthetic.
How to Style Your Gold Wall Clock
Styling around a large gold clock is both fun and flexible. Here are a few of my go-to ideas:
Combine with Warm Accents
Metallics like gold pair beautifully with natural hues. Consider setting your clock against a deep green wall or near potted plants and textured baskets. Something well-loved like the Ceramic Vase Green Rustic from our range adds depth and contrast against gold features.
Subtle Layering is Key
If the clock is the star, keep everything else around it slightly understated but still stylish: glass candle holders, low-lying décor pieces, or driftwood artworks. Don’t overcrowd — let the clock do the talking.
Match It with Metallics
Layer in smaller gold or brass elements—maybe a desk lamp like our Gold Chrome Desk Lamp. Just make sure there’s some contrast so everything doesn’t look too “matchy.”
Conclusion
A gold wall clock — especially a large one — is more than just a way to keep track of your hectic schedule. It’s a décor hero. Whether you’re refreshing your living room, updating your entryway, or rethinking your open-plan space, this single decorative element can tie everything together beautifully. And let’s face it: in South African homes where style meets practicality, that matters!
