My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Wall Clock Advice

8 years ago
Hi. I'm trying to decide on the best placement for a large wall clock for my living room. My ceiling is over 22 feet high, and there are 3 niches at the top, the middle one being up for consideration for the clock. The clock has a mirrored face with gold circled around it. Would this look work against the niche's tan paint? Here are pics of the clock and niche.

    My vote would be "no" on the clock in that space. The tan color is not going to highlight the gold tones of the clock, the clock won't naturally set into a rectangle, and the clock will be located so high that the lovely markings will be lost to the people below. And the mirror will reflect what?

    It's a lovely clock. That location does not do it justice. IMO.
