How to Choose the Right Glass Wall Clocks for Your Stairwell

Stairwells are tall, narrow and seen from several heights as you climb, which makes choosing a wall clock for them a little different from any other room. Glass is a natural fit because it keeps a vertical space feeling light and reflects whatever daylight is available. In this guide we explain the differences between clear, frosted, smoked, mirrored and painted glass clocks, and which suits a bright stairwell with a window or a darker space lit only by a skylight. We cover how to judge size when the clock will be viewed from the hall below, which wall to choose on a straight or turning staircase, and how high to hang it. Safety is covered too, from toughened glass and suitable fixings to planning for battery changes. Finally, we suggest ways to link the clock with mirrors and glass wall art so the stairwell feels connected to the rest of the house....
