Spring has arrived and summer is on the horizon (finally!), so what better time than to start looking at updating your interiors.
Gone are the heavy throws and darker colours – and out comes the lighter, brighter interior themes to represent the longer, sunnier days.
One of the most affordable ways of updating a room is not to change the bigger items, but to update a room’s accessories and accent colours – we’re talking cushions, lamps, ornaments, throws, artwork and… clocks!
So to celebrate the warmer weather that is (finally) on the way, I’ve picked out nine of the best looking unique wall clocks – on the High Street and online…
Time doesn’t stand still – and neither should you!
1. Oh so lovely origami
How original is this Karlsson Origami Wall Clock in Pink?
It costs £38 from Red Candy and would suit a more feminine themed room – or even a teen’s bedroom.
Its unusual shape, with origami style texture, will create an eye-catching feature on any wall and, with a soft pink ceramic face and two brown hands, this quirky clock can easily blend into the background. It’s subtle but oh-so trendy.
It’s made of ceramic and measures 27cm diameter (with a depth of 6cm) and requires 1 AA battery.
2. Cement clock
Encased in a simple brushed silver effect case with matching silver hands and a cement effect face, Cox and Cox’s cement statement wall clock would make an ideal addition to a home office or living room.
It oozes masculinity and would suit either an industrial, minimalist or uber-contemporary theme.
The cement clock costs £80, is made from steel and measures 40cm diameter and 6cm depth and requires 1 AA battery.
3. Elements Cuckoo Wall Clock House
It used to cuckoo on the hour and play a lovely little tune, so I had to feature some sort of cuckoo clock in this cool clocks list!
Featuring an analogue clock face in black, the battery operated Elements cuckoo clock from Dunelm feature a simple white house shape with a small white bird mechanism.
Measuring 11cm wide, 20cm long and 27cm high, it costs a very affordable £30 and requires 1 AA battery.
4. Geometric Swirl Rose Gold Clock
The geometric swirl rose gold clock from Graham & Brown is definitely one of those conversation starters.
I’m loving its swirling design – and of course the fact that it’s the on-trend metallic of the moment (rose-gold) makes this clock even more appealing.
It would look super cool against a dark background in a dining room to create a moody atmosphere, or even in a themed bedroom that features a variety of textures and shapes.
The Geometric Swirl Rose Gold clock costs £75 and measures 63cm wide by 63cm high, with a 5cm depth.
5. Wine O’Clock
The cards have then been double mounted with cream and black, into a stylish black wood box frame – and a quartz clock mechanism has been inserted into the frame creating an original stylish clock.
The finishing touch is the addition of the black hands to complement the frame. If it’s not one for you, it would make a great gift for a wine (or gin/prosecco fan!)
6. Fifty Five South Milk Bottle Cap Wall Clock
This cute Fifty Five South Milk Bottle Cap Wall Clock is a great find!
It’s from I Want One Of Those and costs £33 (currently on offer for £16.99 – with a saving of £17!)
Its quirky shape resembles a milk bottle cap from days gone by, and the white clock will create a nice talking point on a kitchen wall – a room that would suit it well.
It’s made of white aluminium, measures 39cm high by 39cm wide and 5cm depth and requires 1 AA battery.
7. Small Cream Wall Clock
This is the clock that I currently own in my kitchen. It’s a simple and classic cream enamel wall clock in a small scale design, ideal for understated impact.
It features Roman numeral hands (which still baffles the kids when it comes to telling the time), but it suits my modern country/retro kitchen perfectly.
The wall clock, which is 23cm in diameter, is from Laura Ashley and costs £35, although at the time of writing it has been reduced to £18.90.
8. Birgen Wall Clock
With the industrial look a popular trend, this Birgen Wall Clock from Made will have heads turning.
It’s made of grey and brass, combining two current trends in one piece. And although it looks like it’s made of concrete, Birgen is made of a lightweight grey resin, which looks like concrete but it’s much lighter – and won’t crack!
This sophisticated wall clock takes 1 AA battery and costs £29.
9. Parlane Wall Clock Vestibule
This is possibly my favourite wall clock – hence why I’ve saved it for last!
It’s from NEXT, costs £99 and measures 94cm high by 36cm depth.

what an inspirational post i’ve been looking for an unusual clock for my mum xx fab clocks xx
Thanks Debbie – best of luck choosing one for her 🙂
These are all gorgeous but I agree with you – my favourite is number 9. Perfect for my kitchen and would help me stay a little more organised too.
Thanks Libby – it’s a good one isn’t it?
Love all these clocks especially Fifty Five South Milk Bottle Cap Wall Clock
I’m in love with all of these! So cool and it’s amazing how the simple clock has now turned into a statement piece! Loving it!
I think anything could potentially be turned into a statement piece couldn’t it?
Great selection of clocks! I love the swirl one, I wonder how hypnotising it would be if it actually spun around with the seconds!
Ha ha! Good point Mel, although I’m tired as it is, so I wouldn’t volunteer to find out!
Love the little birdy house clock (no 3!)
It’s super cute isn’t it Tracy. I wouldn’t mind one myself.
Nice collection of clocks but why do I have to like a couple of the most expensive ones most?! 😀
You have good taste Georgie! But it could be worse I suppose…
I love number 6 it is so cheery for the kitchen where we love to make milky drinks. All of the clocks shown are lovely.
Thanks Carol – really pleased you’ve seen some that you like!
Hmm…
No.9 in the hallway
No.5 in kitchen (with my secret stash)
No.8 In our lounge
No.1 in my bedroom
No.3 Outside to teach the birds an exceptable time to wake me up.
Love it Iris – brilliant! Although I’d probably advise against a clock in the bedroom – the ticking might keep you awake 😉 xx
I love the Origami Clock. It’s such a statement piece.
It’s a great design Jo – and it would actually look in any sort of colour wouldn’t it?
The pink clock is my favourite, although they are all really nice. Perfect for my kitchen.
Yes – it’s definitely the hands-down winner it looks like!
Those clocks all look fantastic, I love clock number three best though.
I have a certain affinity for that one too – brings back childhood memories!
Gorgeous choices Lauretta! I like the Wine O Clock one (for obvious reasons!)
Thanks Cal – and yes, I thought that one would go down a storm. My personal one would probably read tea ‘o’clock but it just doesn’t have the same ring about it does it?!
The number one (Origami) and four (Geometric Swirl Rose Gold Clock) looks really lovely for me. I’m sure it will be a great addition to my office.
Glad you’ve seen a couple you like Angela – I think those two were the firm favourites, with no.1 taking the top spot!
Totally with you on the Parlane Wall Clock Vestibule. That’s the one that took my eye immediately… and I may just find it in my shopping basket the next time I’m shopping at Next. Haha!
I wouldn’t blame you if you did! Happy shopping 😉
They are all so unique and gorgeous – I don’t think I could choose my favourite although the wine o’clock one did catch my eye first!
I think everyone can relate to the wine o’clock (or their favourite tipple!)
I absolutely love the first one, it’s so unique and defo makes a statement.
That one definitely seems to be the favourite so far.
I don’t know why but I have a thing for pretty clocks and let me tell you something 4 and 6 definitely fit the bill. I love the geometric rose gold clock with the swirl effect as I am a sucker for rose gold and the ‘milk clock’ is so retro and fun, its giving me a cool 60’s vibe which I love!
Ah thanks Ana – glad you’ve spotted a couple that you like! What great taste you have 😉 xx
I daore that Pink Origami clock and £38 is such a great price. Would look perfect in our newly decorated bedroom.
Ooh you might have to treat yourself Helen! 😉
The designs of these clocks are so lovely, I am looking to buy a clock at the moment for our upstairs bedroom and the Wine O Clock has caught my eye.
Him in love with number 1, it would go in my kitchen to much, so unique and powerful and definitely a statement.
Yes it’s quite a statement piece isn’t it Bethan…there are plenty others like it too.
All are so beautiful and it would be nice to at least have on at home. I wouldn’t mind getting the origami one for my bedroom! I think it’s really pretty!
Put it on your wishlist AnnMarie and then conveniently leave the wishlist lying around somewhere for someone to see (that’s my trick!) 🙂
Oh wow what a great collection! I love the look of the pink ones, they would fit perfectly with our new bedroom!
Ohh I love the geometric swirl of number four, some really cool looking clocks there x
That seems to be a favourite so far! 🙂
I love creative wall clocks like the ones you shared! It’s really nice to have a pretty/fun looking one at home! My favorites are #1, #4, #6, and #8!
It’s great to go for something a bit different isn’t it Alison? Offers a great talking point.
Many thanks for posting this as we need a nice new clock and has given me some good ideas.
Best of luck Hannah!
What some great ideas, I love the origami one, it’s like a real optical illusion to the eye!
Yes definitely – it’s a piece of art in itself that one I think.
I adore the geometric swirl clock – my daughter is a big fan of rose gold and has just bought her first house so this is ideal
Loving the rose gold look – it’s just so versatile.
What a brilliant selection. I love the look of that ‘Milk’ one in particular.
Thanks Nichola – it’s a cutie isn’t it!
I am still on the lookout for a unique wall clock for my dining room. There is so much inspiration in this post, some really lovely clocks! Sim x
Thanks Sim – glad you like the look of a few of them! 🙂
