Glass, metal, plastic and wooden clocks, wall, floor or table clocks - today it is more a decoration of the interior than a functional item. Therefore, for several years, designers have not used them in the development of projects. However, the fashion, as you know, leaves and after some time returns. And today, all kinds of wall clocks and their floor and desk counterparts have returned to our apartments. Among them stand wooden specimens.
A bit of history
Wooden clocks - wall-mounted and with a fight - for us today are a symbol of tradition and special comfort. And this is no coincidence: they were among the first interior watches that appeared in European houses. Even earlier, noble ladies and gentlemen began to decorate living rooms and cabinets with floor models.
It should be noted that the first interior time meters began to be produced in Germany. Swiss craftsmen became the best in the manufacture of watches only in the 19th century. Ancient specimens were distinguished by rich finishes, they were made of wood and inlaid with precious metals and stones.
In Russia, the popularity of watches as an attribute of home decoration dates back to the reign of Peter the Great, and the first copies adorned the royal chambers under Ivan the Terrible. At that time, wall clocks, the price of which consisted of the cost of materials and the work of craftsmen, were available only to very wealthy people.
With the development of technology, the situation has changed. Today, wooden clocks - wall and table - are available to almost everyone.
Modern wooden clock
Nowadays there are so many design options for wooden watches that during the selection process you may feel dizzy. Minimalist round, made in the shape of birds or fruits, decorated with carving or inlay - each type is suitable for a certain type of room. So, antique wall clocks with a fight cause exclamations of admiration for many, however, not every modern interior can "make out" such beauty. They are appropriate in the classical style, in spacious rooms. On the other hand, with the right approach, such a watch can become the main note in the interior, attracting attention and organizing the space.
Wooden clock for the kitchen
You can place the clock in any part of the apartment, the main thing is to take into account the specifics of each room. For the kitchen, wall-mounted copies are more suitable, since table and floor can take up a place that is often lacking in the process of preparing various dishes. Depending on the interior, you can choose strict round options with almost no decor, a clock in the shape of fruits or, for example, a cup of coffee. The design and shade of the product should be combined with the furniture and walls of the room.
Elegant decoration
The living room is a place where there are practically no restrictions on the choice of watches. Wooden clock with a pendulum or with a cuckoo, massive floor or laconic small items - you can give preference to anyone. The main condition is that the selected model matches the style of the room.
Cozy country loves carved watches. The cuckoo will also bring a certain charm to such a room. Massive floor models fit perfectly into the classic interior, of course, provided that there is enough space for them in the living room: such a thing can not be pushed into a corner.
A wooden clock, wall or table, will feel great in a room with an eco-style design. For the decor of such living rooms, you can choose options with inserts of bamboo or interwoven willow twigs.
In the spacious halls of country houses you can often find a fireplace. Decorative imitation of this element of the interior is often installed in apartments. In this case, the mantel clock is the best fit. In addition to them, you can purchase elegant candelabra or vases.
At the head of the bed
In the bedroom, it is appropriate to use not only an alarm clock, especially since most often it is built into the phone. However, a wall clock with a fight is not suitable for this room. Of course, over time, everyone gets used to the sound, but do not load the nervous system like that. For the bedroom, it is better to use options for watches with a low speed. A measured tick should lull, and not remind the first spring thunder.
In the choice of design, you must again be guided by the style of the room. Wooden watches go well with natural fabrics and other natural materials. Often they are selected to match the color of the furniture.
Work zone
Perhaps the office is exactly the room where the clock is the place. Here they will play both a decorative and a utilitarian role. Watches are associated with accuracy, calm and order. They tune to work. For the office, you should opt for options with a small number of jewelry. At the same time, the clock can be either wall-mounted or floor-mounted, or can be placed on a table. In the office, antique pieces look especially good. Like any thing with history, they create coziness and give the room a special respectability.
Wall clocks, the price of which varies depending on the model (the cheapest can be purchased for 600-1000 rubles), or floor clocks, whose cost is always slightly higher (starting from about 25,000 rubles) than other models, can become an elegant addition to the interior. However, when choosing a suitable instance, it is worth considering the features of the room, otherwise the amount spent will be thrown into the wind.
