How to Pair Sunburst Wall Clocks with Framed Prints

A sunburst wall clock makes a striking centrepiece for a gallery wall, provided the framed prints around it are chosen to support rather than compete. In this guide, we explain why it pays to start with the clock and measure the full spread of its rays before planning anything else.
