Are you putting a clock there because you need to know the time or do you want to decorate with a clock? Just wondering how visible the time needs to be.

Do you plan on adding curtain panels? They will decrease your available space.

I think a school house clock would look great there.

Hello, d-gw! We need the clock to tell time in this room. We plan to add cellular shades to fit inside the windows, and do not want curtains or drapes. Thank you for your suggestion! I like it; however, the love of my life does not; and it is his room, too. :)

Do you think something like this would work? It is 13.75" in diameter.

If yes, would you place something below it to fill out the wall? Just curious. Thank you for your time.

I was thinking of a long rectangle, but that school house clock above looks good. I would not go wider than 12 inches for the space.

You might make some paper clocks and tack them up with painter's tape to see what looks good. Make them 12 inches, 10, and 8 inches.

Okay I see more information added. If you want something below it, you could get two identical clocks. Do you have a relative in a different time zone? You could mark the two clocks as New York and Paris...or whatever makes sense for your situation.

It might be my old lady eyes but I can barely read the time on that roman numeral clock. The hands, the numbers and the four frame pieces all run together.

I like the idea of a rectangular case with two clocks or a clock and a thermometer. Or an oval clock. I think the space is too tight for a round clock.

My husband just reminded me we have a cuckoo clock. It looks exactly like this, but is smaller in width (ours is 9" wide). Thoughts on using it in this space?

Yes, d_gw, I just read the reviews on that roman numeral clock; and I think I would get frustrated trying to tell time. Thanks!

It's not just the width of the clock that you have to consider. There is the visual weight. Is it a bright color, does it have a heavy frame? And then there is the length as well.

The cuckoo is a great idea. It might be a little small. I would pull it out and have your DH hold it on the wall for you to see if you like it.

I can't read that Roman numeral clock either.

The clocks that I find easiest to read have relatively fat black hands on a white background with Arabic numbers (or no numbers), with lots of white space so you can see the hands. No radial lines for the hands to line up with. Schoolhouse clocks, for example. While traditional in a sense, they're a bit too utilitarian for traditional decor, although I've seen similar clock with a wood surround that could work.

I think the pendulum clock d_gw posted first is pretty easy to read, but I'd prefer it with Arabic number (because the angle of the Roman numerals changes around the clock so that they are always oriented toward the edge, the big hand lines up with the lines of the numbers and gets lost).

I would not put a clock there, it does not belong there. And I can't see enough of the space to tell you where to put one, but do not put one between those windows. That is not the place for a clock, it's too small an area, and those windows need some kind of window treatment on them even if it's just blinds. And do not hang a cuckoo clock.

cpaul1 - please read her responses - she is putting blinds on the windows. Also, please share a link to the clock rule book that says you can't put a clock between windows.

Does this one from Amazon (with great reviews) do anything for you?

We've decided to put the cuckoo clock on that wall for now. Deep breaths, cpaul1! ;)

It solves two problems for us: 1) We can tell what time it is, and 2) We can spend those decor dollars elsewhere.

Thanks again for your input, everyone! I truly appreciate your time and opinions.

Happy Houzzing! :)

When I saw your space I immediately thought a charming cuckoo clock would work well with your style. I say go for it!
