Clocks get a bad rap in Feng Shui.
Some say that giving a clock as a gift is bad Feng Shui, or that you shouldn’t display them anywhere in your home!
But when it comes to clocks, it’s all about placement.
Eeeek!! Is that really the time?
When a clock is the first thing you see as you enter your home, it’s a stark reminder of the passage of time.
Clocks in the entryway can especially make guests feel unwelcome, as though their visit has a time limit.
Instead, clocks belong in rooms like the living room, kitchen and home office, places where it’s important to be able to keep track of the time.
But in general clocks shouldn’t be the main decorative element in any room (!).
In the bedroom especially, your clock should be small enough to tuck away, so you can let your own body clock take over when you have the opportunity.
Be careful, too, about giving clocks as gifts. When a younger person gives one to one of their elders, it serves as a reminder of time passing, which may not create the good Chi energy you intend
