How many clocks does a typical house need?
When you think about it, clocks quietly play a role in almost every room of the house. From keeping mornings on track to anchoring a space visually, the right clock is both practical and stylish. At Jones Clocks, we believe there’s no such thing as “too many clocks”, just the right clock in the right place. So, how many clocks does a typical home really need?
Do you need a clock in the bedroom?
Absolutely. The bedroom is where timekeeping really matters, especially in the mornings. An alarm clock helps you wake up on time without reaching straight for your phone - a small change that can make mornings calmer and more intentional.
Jones alarm clocks are compact, stylish, and easy to read, making them ideal bedside companions. Whether you prefer something minimal or a pop of colour, a bedside alarm clock adds both function and personality to your sleep space.
Why is a kitchen clock essential?
The kitchen is one of the most practical places for a clock. Whether you’re timing dinner, keeping an eye on the school run, or juggling multiple tasks at once, an easy to read wall clock is invaluable.
A bold wall clock works perfectly in the kitchen: easy to read at a glance and strong enough to stand out against busy walls or splashbacks. In kitchens, clocks are as much about function as they are about becoming part of the room’s character.
Should you have a clock in the living room?
The living room is where clocks really come into their own as design features. A statement wall clock can anchor the space, while a mantel clock adds charm to shelves, sideboards, or fireplaces.
In shared spaces, clocks help keep routines flowing without needing phones or screens. Plus, they offer an easy way to introduce colour, shape, or personality into your space.
Do home offices need clocks?
Yes, and not just for productivity. In a home office, a desk clock or small wall clock helps with time management, breaks, and meetings.
A desk clock adds a thoughtful finishing touch to your workspace and helps to personalise your desk, while a wall clock keeps things visible and efficient during busy workdays.
What about a clock in the hallway?
Often overlooked, the hallway is one of the most useful places for a clock. A hallway wall clock helps you check the time as you rush out of the door- no frantic phone searching required.
It’s also a great spot to make a design statement, welcoming guests with a stylish clock that sets the tone for the rest of your home.
So… how many clocks is enough?
For most homes, one clock in each key room makes everyday life easier (and more stylish!). The great thing about Jones Clocks is that they’re beautifully designed and affordable, so you really can have a clock for every room. From wall clocks and mantel clocks to alarm clocks and desk clocks, it’s easy to keep your whole house right on time, without breaking the bank.
