Artistic Round Wall Clock | Nordic Faux Wood Grain Design For Living Rooms, Halls and Studies

Faux wood grain is worth being straightforward about: it is a printed or moulded finish rather than timber. What that buys you is a clock that will not warp, split, or lighten unevenly in sun the way a real wood face does, and one that costs a fraction of a solid piece. What it costs you is the depth real grain has when you stand close to it.

For a wall clock that trade usually favours the finish. A clock is read from across a room, not examined at arm's length, and at that distance the grain does the job of warming the wall without any of the maintenance a timber face needs. The round form and the artistic hand treatment give it more presence than a plain office clock. Check the battery once a year at the same time you change smoke alarm batteries, so a slow clock never goes unnoticed.

It suits living rooms, studies, kitchens, hallways, and bedrooms. Hang it at standing eye level rather than high, and keep it out of prolonged direct sun, which will still fade a printed finish over time even though it will not warp. Dust with a dry cloth and avoid solvent cleaners on the face. Buy it now.
