You’ve painted the walls that perfect, just-right shade. The sofa is in place, the cushions are plumped (and properly chopped, of course), and the new rug has settled. And yet... something's missing.
You stand back, head tilted, and stare at that empty space on the wall. It’s crying out for a focal point, that final "full stop" that pulls the entire room together.
That missing piece? It’s almost always a truly great wall clock. And when it comes to designing clocks that just work, Thomas Kent is a name that truly gets it.
British Design, Timeless Appeal
This isn't just another faceless brand. For over 40 years, this iconic British company has been creating timepieces with a simple, powerful philosophy: to make clocks that are not only functional but are also beautiful, accessible pieces of interior design.
A Thomas Kent clock isn’t just a way to see if you’re running late. It’s a piece of functional art. It’s the finishing touch that transforms a house into a home. They have a wonderful knack for blending classic, timeless design with contemporary flourishes, resulting in a collection that feels both current and enduring.
These are the kind of clocks that feel instantly at home, whether your style is cosy country cottage, minimalist Scandi, or chic industrial.
Find Your Perfect Timepiece
The beauty of the Thomas Kent collection lies in its variety. They understand that every room has its own personality, and they’ve designed a clock for all of them.
The Undisputed Classic: The 'Arabic'
When you picture a Thomas Kent wall clock, chances are you're thinking of the iconic Arabic design. With its clean, open face, elegant serif numerals, and beautifully shaped hands, it’s a masterpiece of readability and grace. It’s the little black dress of the clock world—it simply never, ever goes out of style. It’s the perfect, clear-faced clock for a busy kitchen or a calm, organised study.
Contemporary Cool & A Pop of Colour
But don't mistake "classic" for "old-fashioned." Thomas Kent excels at modern design, too. Explore their open-faced clocks with minimalist dials, sleek metallic hands, and a sophisticated, understated vibe.
And the colours! Oh, the colours. This is where the brand’s personality truly shines. You’ll find so much more than just black or white.
- Thomas Kent Mulberry: A deep, heritage-rich plum that adds a touch of grown-up glamour and warmth to a living room.
- Thomas Kent Wharf: A cool, industrial-inspired grey that looks fantastic against exposed brick or alongside modern decor.
- Soft Pinks, Chalky Whites & Muted Greens: They capture those subtle, Farrow & Ball-esque heritage tones that interior designers adore.
Make a Statement: Large Wall Clocks
A clock can be more than an accessory; it can be the main event. Many of the most popular Thomas Kent designs come in impressive sizes, like 20 inches or more. A large wall clock is the perfect way to anchor a feature wall, fill the space above a fireplace, or add a dose of drama to a high-ceilinged hallway. It creates an instant focal point that says "this room is complete."
Where Will Yours Live?
The only hard part is choosing just one.
- For the Kitchen: Look for a kitchen wall clock with a clear, easy-to-read dial (like the Arabic!) for those "how long is left on the timer?" moments.
- For the Living Room: This is your chance to make a statement. Go for a large size or a bold colour like Mulberry to tie in with your cushions or curtains.
- For the Hallway: A clock in the hall is a welcoming, practical touch. It's the last thing you check before you leave and the first thing you see when you come home.
A clock isn't just a separate object; it's a key part of your entire home decor story. It's a piece of your home's personality, ticking away quietly in the background of your life.
So, have a wander through our collection of beautiful clocks. Whether you're a classicist at heart or a lover of bold, modern design, your perfect timepiece is here, just waiting to fill that space.
