Novelty wall clocks give you the ability to send a fun gift that the recipient will simply adore, either as a joke or as a light-hearted addition to their home. There are hundreds of different novelty clocks to chose from so you’re literally spoiled for choice.

Finding a wall clock online is as easy as pie. EBay is one of the most popular online destinations for people shopping for novelty gifts and features an extensive selection of wall clocks. EBay allows you to set the price that you would like to pay for a product. This stops you from breaking the bank and spending over your budget. They also have a nice selection of antique wall clocks.

Bizarre clocks and clocks in disguise are the most popular type of novelty clocks amongst adults today. These include upside down clocks, 24hour clocks and clocks with backwards numbers. These clocks are fantastically strange and often as much of a puzzle as they are useful. They inject a syringe full of fun into a dull room and are the cause of conversation, laughter and intrigue.

Character clocks are very popular as well. These clocks are not only themed to match your favorite cartoon character, such as Betty Boop or Chef from South Park but they are also shaped like them too. These clocks are not always appropriate for a living room but add a touch of humor to personal rooms such as an office or bedroom.

The third type of novelty wall clock available is the nostalgic variety. By this I mean the large number of commemorative and replica clocks. These include Coca-Cola clocks, old-fashioned grandfather clocks, cuckoo clocks and hundreds more. These clocks remember the good old days and are loved by collectors, those with retro-style décor and almost everyone else.

Novelty clocks are fun and even a little silly. There are some that would call them tacky but what’s wrong with being tacky? Don’t listen to the style Nazis, they’re only out to spoil your fun. Novelty clocks add fun and spirit to a home and make enjoyable, thoughtful gifts for friends.

Designing your sanctuary needs a lot of thinking, energy, and may cost you your savings. But never let mistakes cover your way to perfect happiness!

There are some common mistakes in designing homes, and we provide you ways to fix them.

Design Mistake #1: Bad Lighting
Poor lighting makes you unable to enjoy your trendy scheme or your fashion-forward furniture

How to Fix It:
First off, take advantage of your free lighting accessory – the sun! Effective window treatments that combine fashion and function are key to making the most of its’ rays. Any shade or blind that allows you to control incoming light is going to help you out here: Shangri-La Sheer Horizontal Window Shadings and Stardust Sheer Verticals offer sheer window shade solutions that can be adjusted to control light. Woodwinds Plantation Shutters (pictured at left) also offer a classic look, with the ability to control the light that comes through.
And remember – don’t limit any room to a solo light source. Add table and floor lamps, even when there is an overhead light fixture. This will not only give you more resources for brightening the room, it will also give you more options for changing the ambience.

Design Mistake #2: Looking Up to Your Art
Many people try to balance out a room by placing their wall artwork high above their furniture. However, this often results in the pieces appearing to be “floating”, creating a disorganized effect instead of the balanced, “put together” look that you probably desire.

How to Fix It:
Keep this in mind: wall decor should relate to the furniture below it. Some designers suggest that there should be anywhere from 66″ to 72″ from your floor to the top of any hanging wall art or pictures. Of course, there are always exceptions, but this is a good rule of thumb that will help you keep your artwork from floating away.
