Unfinished Basement Wall Clocks

When decorating an unfinished basement, accessories are very important. Since the actual architecture of the space is not going to be that attractive, you will want to de-emphasize it, in favor of nicer decorative items which will essentially dress the mess. One of the most useful such accessories, will be the wall clock.

In an unfinished basement some areas will be nicer than other. Your job is to emphasize the positive, and hide the negative in shadow. Since a wall clock is such a prominent and functional item, it tends to take up a lot of the attention of people within a space. By placing your timepiece in a prominent location that you actually want to show off, you can create a focal point that allows you to define where attention will be focused.

Another clock trick for unfinished basements is to turn the space into a kind of museum. Purchase a wide variety of novelty, cool, funny, attractive, or even collectible clocks, and hang them along all of the walls as if you were decorating an art museum. Then when people enter the space, they will be too busy noticing all of the cool timepieces you have, and won’t even care that they are in an area of the house which isn’t technically finished.

You have to be careful with this trick though, as certain delicate or expensive clocks will be prone to damage from water, mold, or other common basement maladies.





Illuminated clocks are another great way to enhance the beauty of an unfinished basement. As noted before one of your best tricks will be to emphasize attractive areas, and hide unattractive ones. Illuminated clocks allow you to create points of light, which can be floated in the basements natural dark. The result will be a soft glow throughout the space, which will be just bright enough to walk by, but not bright enough to illuminate areas very far away from the source.

Clocks are a great way to dress up the sometimes unsavory nature of an unfinished basement. On the one hand they can help to hide embarrassing parts of the space, while on the other they can illuminate more attractive areas. They also have the ability to give the room function and purpose.
