Clocks are an easy way to make a statement. Minimal, vintage or sculptural – what’s your time signature?

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.
