Stylish clocks

Tip tock

> Shape Round clocks are the traditiona­l choice but if you’re after a beautiful object rather than a functional item, you can experiment. Think outside the round and go square, hexagonal or beyond.

> Texture Play around with contrastin­g materials – it’s surprising what clocks can be made out of. Try complement­ing a soft linen sofa with cool stone, or warm wooden floors with bright brass or rosy copper.

> Colour A well-chosen clock can add a welcome splash of colour to a neutral wall. Have fun with primary colours or tropical patterns.

> Sound A loud ticking can drive some people up the wall, so listen carefully to your chosen clock before purchasing.
