How to Bring Warmth to a Dining Room with Distressed Wood Wall Clocks

A distressed wood wall clock introduces texture, age and natural colour onto a dining room wall, creating the kind of relaxed atmosphere that encourages people to linger after a meal. In this guide we explain what makes weathered timber feel so warm, and we compare plank style clocks, aged round faces, wood and metal combinations and gently painted finishes. You will learn the best positions for a clock in a dining room, including facing the table, above a sideboard, on a chimney breast and within the dining zone of a kitchen diner, along with practical sizing advice for medium and smaller rooms. We look at how to relate the clock to your dining table, sideboard and chairs without everything matching, and at wall colours from olive and sage to deep blue and terracotta.
