Refine Your Kalamazoo Home with Decorative Clocks and Fireplace Inserts

There are few better ways to add a sense of refinement to your home than with the right blend of furniture. A good eye for furniture can turn any house into a true home, and make any room feel truly like “you.”

That being said, it’s increasingly common these days for new homeowners to forget about the options available in decorative clocks and fireplace inserts. These two elements—when used well—can immensely enhance any space with relatively little effort.

In this month’s blog post, we’re covering how decorative clocks and fireplace inserts can perfect your home’s aesthetic.

Decorative Clocks & Grandfather Clocks

Nothing adds a sense of dignity to a home quite like decorative clocks. We offer three types of decorative clocks that any homeowner is sure to love: floor clocks, wall clocks, and desk clocks.

Floor Clocks

Perhaps the most renowned decorative style of clock, floor clocks (AKA grandfather clocks) practically exude class. Their intricate designs, fine wooden finishes, and old-world feel add a sense of excellence to any room.

If you’re concerned about making your room feel dated, then don’t worry; modern grandfather clock designs come in surprisingly sleek, appealing varieties.

Wall Clocks

Wall clocks are preferred for the functionality and the fact they don’t take up any valuable floor space. That said, wall clocks carry their own type of dignity, and are a great way to add a sense of personality to any home.

Desk Clocks

A favorite of ours, desk clocks are an affordable way to stylize your home. You’d be surprised how affordable some exceptionally well-designed deck clocks can be. We supply Howard Miller clocks, which offer a variety of desk clocks that will appeal to any style. For more information on the desk clocks they offer, click here.

Fireplace Inserts

If you’re not already aware of what a fireplace insert is, then there are a few quick things you should know. First, you should know that fireplace inserts are generally designed to enhance a fireplace’s efficiency. These inserts are essentially designed as boxes that “trap” the heat, so it doesn’t escape in undesirable ways. Second, you should know that fireplace inserts come in a variety of materials and designs. For a more detailed overview of the many functions and varieties of fireplace inserts, click here.

All in all, fireplace inserts are excellent additions because of their balance of form and function. So, when deciding on which insert is best for your home, you should weigh the aesthetic value against the practical value of your choices.

That being said, most fireplace inserts are aesthetically quite pleasing and come in a wide variety of styles. To explore some ideas about how fireplace inserts can enhance your living space, click here.
