Clock Above Fireplace? - Kylon Powell
Rachel Davis
Can you put a clock above a fireplace?
Decorate the empty wall space above your mantel with a clock. It’s a good idea to hang your mantel at the correct height if you want the overall design to look cohesive.
How big should a clock be over a fireplace?
The clock should be hung six inches from the top of the mantel shelf to create a consistent display. To give it the most prominence, go with a clock that’s about the same size as the firebox.
Where is the best place to put a clock?
Putting the clocks in the wrong place can have negative consequences. Clocks should be hung in the following directions: north, north east, and east. The west wall or the west zone can be used as an alternative if the other two aren’t an option (but only as a secondary option).
