What Size Wall Clock Works Best in a Kitchen-Diner?

In most UK kitchen diners, a wall clock between 40cm and 60cm across works best. That size is large enough to read from the hob, the island and the dining table, yet not so large that it overwhelms walls already busy with cabinets, splashbacks and windows. The exact answer depends on the length of the room, the clear wall space available and how far you will usually be from the clock when you glance at it. In this guide we explain a simple way to choose a size based on viewing distance and wall width, where to hang a clock so it serves both the cooking and dining zones, and how to adjust the scale for small galley style rooms or long open plan extensions. We also cover dial styles that stay legible in a busy family space, practical finishes for kitchens and how to coordinate the clock with dining furniture and bar stools....
