The entrance of a home is important for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that it affords visitors their first overall impression of a home and an idea of what’s to come. Those who take care in outfitting a home’s entrance will be rewarded with a warm and welcoming spirit that visitors and family alike can appreciate the moment they enter the home.

One of the ways that homeowners are turning their attention to their entranceway is through the addition of a grandfather clock – a classic, regal addition to a home and a sophisticated addition to an entrance hallway. Grandfather clocks are designed in an extensive array of styles so that homeowners can immediately denote the overall design of their home – the sleek lines of a contemporary grandfather clock can tell of a contemporary styled home, the rustic lines of a traditional grandfather clock can welcome visitors to a country-inspired home; the choices are endless.

Aside from its design, the grandfather clock also offers its sheer size in marking an entrance hallway. By anchoring a grandfather clock just inside the hallway – if you have the room to do so- homeowners are able to offer their visitors a stunning initial visual upon entering the home.

Additionally, the chime of a grandfather clock – and the melodies that often denote the hour – offer a welcoming song to visitors and homeowners eager to find their way back home after a long day at work.
