Wall Décor Adds Some Sparkle To A Room

For the majority of homeowners, few things are worse than a bare expanse of wall in a room, especially if they are large rooms. While some people don’t mind, the majority of homeowners like to find some sort of wall décor in order to break up the monotony and add some sparkle and joy to a room

Of course, one of the most obvious things that can decorate a wall is pictures, and many people enjoy prints such as Sunflowers by Van Gogh, the Mona Lisa by da Vinci, The Scream by Edvard Munch, or Monet’s Garden at Giverny. However, when you buy a print such as one of those you do not have something original because many other people will have a copy too. There are art galleries galore where, for somewhat more than a framed print, you can buy an original work of art which is unique, so only you have it.

Many people like the idea of plates for wall décor and you can find them in charity shops. Most of them are 8” wide and contain pictures of all sorts – many of them animals. Some companies such as Franklin Mint have produced limited edition series such as the one of Jack Russell terriers which they produced some years back and which they released at one a month over the course of a year. The charity Save the Whales sponsored a series showing whales leaping out of the sea.

Of course, if pictures and plates are not your “thing” there is plenty of other wall décor available, some of it very wacky. For instance, you can buy a large trophy head of a unicorn with a silver finish to mount on the wall, or a pair of “angel wings”. There is also a T-Rex skull wall head trophy, or if you wanted to be a bit more traditional you can buy a stag’s head complete with horns which is available in white or silver. Or how about a knife, fork, and spoon set in polished aluminium which are over a metre long? You can hang these either horizontally or vertically, as you choose.

Clocks Are an Essential Part of Our Lives

Image
What would we do without clocks? Throughout our waking hours we need to know what the time is. We need to know if it’s time to leave the house to get the train to work. We need to know if its coffee break time, lunch time, time to leave the office, time to put the dinner on, time to go to the football match, and even time to go to bed. OK, many of us have a watch, although more people today rely on their mobiles to tell the time. But when you have a clock, all you need to do is to look at it on the wall and it tells you the time. You don’t have to get your phone out of your pocket or handbag and switch it on – just look at the clock on the wall. That is why there is a plethora of modern clocks that you can buy. They still do the same thing that Victorian ones did, but they just look as though they were made in the 21st century. Having said that, there are modern clocks that are made using Roman numerals which gives us a hint of times gone past, but there are...

Some Examples of the Many Designs of Modern Wall Clocks

Image
One of the most important things in our lives is time. It has a habit of passing, and once it has done so we can’t get it back. It has gone forever. However, time rules a lot of our lives. We have to be at work on time. We have to catch a train on time. The beef is going to take some time to cook. This or that is taking a long time. So it follows that we frequently need to know what time it is, and for that we have watches and clocks. Many homes have wall clocks in the sitting room, the kitchen, the bedroom, and sometimes even the bathroom, because we constantly need to check the time. There are some really great designs of modern wall clocks available, some of which might be described as “way out”. For example, one of the modern wall clocks is the Invotis Wall Gear and Date Clock which consists of a set of gear wheels which turn slowly and move a large gear wheel which tells the time. The clock has two smaller gear wheels which also display the month and...
