Clocks can create a huge impact in your space. These functional objects, now don vintage, contemporary, futuristic, even extravagant garbs, to suit a variety of decor styles. Architect Aman Gandhi gives us some pointers on how to use clocks to make a room more interesting.

1. Objet d'art: Instead of a painting, try an impactful timepiece as a conversation stopper on the wall.

2. Passage to style: Alleviate the monotony of a passageway, or even a boring landing by placing a statement-making floor-standing clock.

From enhancing landings to shelves, time pieces can contribute to the decor in small and big ways.

3. Timeless appeal: The intrepid decorator can think of creating a collage of clocks as a striking design focus.

4. Chic contrast: An inherited timepiece, in a style gone by, can serve as an eye-catching piece in a modern space.

5. Fun & learn: A light-hearted clock dressed to please young children, will act as a fun element in their room, and teach them to tell time.

6. Designer pieces: Breaking-the-mould timepieces – such as a 'melting' clock that seems to drip from a shelf – add buzz to your space.
