There are wooden clocks in varied types of hard woods. There are also those that make use of different kinds of metals such as cast iron, copper, brass and stainless steel. More contemporary ones would make use of ceramic, glass and a combination of plastics. There are also those that are made of cheaper materials such as resin that have finishing that duplicates more luxurious look and feel.

Mantle clocks come in many different shapes other than the well-varied materials used for its exterior. There is no such thing as a perfect design for a mantle clock but there is such a thing as fitting one in the theme that the table and the room has. For example, if the table is in a room that has primitive decorating style then it would make sense to take advantage of clocks with the same designs. In the kitchen, there are Tuscan-inspired or Italian-inspired themes that oftentimes incorporate wine bottles and fruits in the designs.

There are also those that are designed according to the person’s interests. For instance, there are mantle clocks with cherubs. Those kinds of mantle clocks may be best for a living room with similar flourishes as art nouveau or rococo décor. A mantle clock with designs of domesticated animals, such as cats and dogs, may be perfect for a room of a person who loves pets.

Children’s rooms should not be left behind as everyone would have a use for a clock. There are themes for children that would be more fitting for the playful atmosphere their bedrooms have. For instance, there are princess themes or ballet themes for girls and ones that have sports themes ideal for boys.

There are also mantle cocks that are designed in such a way that it serves another purpose. It could be another frame to hold a picture or it could hold a notepad and a pen. There are also those that have a space to put a standard-sized calendar which would be a practical accessory in an office or a kitchen.
