Most people wish at one point or another that they could turn back the hands of time. In an age where relentless pace is the order of the day, and a barrage of information - via various forms of media and social networking - is seen as standard, it's easy to yearn for a simpler, less complicated era.
Station clocks are an increasingly popular choice in the Laura Ashley home accessories range. Hearkening back to the golden age of rail travel, they embody all of the elegance and classical style that you'd associate with a time when getting somewhere took days, not hours; when travellers 'dressed' for the journey and when suited attendants took dinner orders and presented measl on crystal and china rather than on a plastic compartmented tray. With their soothingly round faces and elegant Roman numerals, station clocks speak of romance, not rush - even when you've got a million and one things to do.
Laura Ashley's gallery wall clocks come in two sizes, with the choice of either a 50 or 38cm diameter, enabling homeowners to make a statement that works with the proportions of their room. Framed in either cream or black enamel, both looks are equally striking and smart.
It seems that more and more people are turning to traditional styles within their living spaces. It makes perfect sense, really: as everything in the world outside becomes more frenetic and fast-paced, people want to return home to a haven that nurtures and restores the spirit. People want function (because they're well aware that the world is just out there, beyond the front door, and they can't be late for it) but they want it embodied in a form that evokes nostalgia and an idealised, civilised past.
With a Laura Ashley station clock, customers may not be able to make time stand still, but at least they will be able to make the marking of its passage far more pleasurable.
