Modern Grandfather Clocks Provide Dramatic Entryways
The entryway into your home is the first thing that your visitors will see of the inside of your home. One way to provide a dramatic and warm entry into your home is to place a grandfather clock in this space. If you choose the right timepiece you will create a great first impression on your visitors and the clock will become a topic of discussions.
Choosing the “right” grandfather clock for your entryway can feel daunting. Keep in mind, that nearly any grandfather clock will make a positive impact. So the “right” grandfather clock is really a matter of degree of perfect. My first suggestion is to choose a clock that matches the style of your home and other home décor. You can find a grandfather clock that enhances any style of home décor. Many people think grandfather clocks are only for the classic style, but there are many contemporary grandfather clocks that will fit great with a modern style.
Modern grandfather clocks can be found from traditional clock manufacturers such as Howard Miller and from independent artists. The prices also vary dramatically among modern grandfather clocks, but there are clocks that fit almost any budget.
Modern Grandfather Clock Examples
- Howard Miller Cosmopolitan Grandfather Clock – this is a sleek, radial-shaped clock inspired by contemporary European designs. This is a great clock for a style that combines modern and classic ideals.
- Infinity Light Clocks – infinity lights provide a feeling of depth to a surface and create a very cool effect. These clocks are usually ultra-modern and can be found through independent artists.
- Howard Miller Oasis Waterfall Clock – this is a example of a large floor clock that combines a fountain and a clock. The Oasis Waterfall Clock provides the soothing sounds of water along with the clock. I may be stretching calling this a grandfather clock, but it fits the same idea of a large floor clock for dramatic effect.
