Clocks are quietly having a moment again. Beyond telling the time, a decorative clock gives a room character and a timeless touch, depending on the design. For 2026, these seven pieces stand out as refined accents that work across living rooms, studies, hallways or bedrooms. Each one can be styled as a focal point or paired with a few simple pieces to create an elegant display
Isosceles Nickel Curved Front Mantel Clock
1. Isosceles Nickel Curved Front Mantel Clock
Why it’s special
This is one of those clocks that looks equally at home on a mantel, a console, or a bookshelf. The curved glass front and polished nickel body give it a crisp, architectural feel, while brass fittings and a stitched leather handle add subtle warmth and texture. Its form is striking but not fussy, so it works with both classic and contemporary interiors.
Where to place it
• On a console table in a hallway, with one low vase or a small stack of books to the side
• On a shelf or sideboard as a single, centred focal point, perhaps with one candle or a small sculpture opposite
Style tip
Keep nearby accessories low and minimal, but add one element with a different texture or finish, such as a soft ceramic or a small wood object, to make the metal shine against surrounding materials.
Retro Nickel Carriage Clock
2. Retro Nickel Carriage Clock
Why it’s special
A compact treasure with some Art Deco inspiration, this carriage-style clock adds nostalgia without feeling outdated. Its curved silhouette creates a soft outline on any surface, and the nickel finish keeps it elegant and modern. Powered by a quiet quartz mechanism, it produces a light ticking that adds warmth and personality rather than distraction.
Where to place it
• Beside a lamp on a bedside, dressed with one or two small framed photos or a slim vase
• On a desk or dressing table with a simple tray for jewellery or keys
Style tip
Pair it with soft textiles and warm woods to emphasise its comforting charm, or with a mirror or glossy ceramic for a sleek, grown-up look. Because it is compact, two identical or complementary clocks could even be used on either side of a bookcase or shelf for symmetry.
Cooper Nickel Mantel Clock
3. Cooper Nickel Mantel Clock
Why it’s special
For lovers of structure and craft, the Cooper is a standout. The exposed skeleton mechanism is visible through the case, turning the internal workings into part of the design. A nickel-plated body, domed glass lens, and layered base are ideal for those who have a refined and classy style.
Where to place it
• On a mantel, together with a ceramic or stone vase, a slim candleholder, or a small stack of classic books
• On a study shelf where the mechanism becomes a point of interest next to minimal objects
Style tip
Because the clock is so intricate, keep the surrounding décor fairly simple. A dark wood shelf or sideboard, leather-bound books, or a single metallic accessory will let the clock’s craftsmanship stand out without clutter.

Nebolo Nickel Rectangular Table Clock
4. Nebolo Nickel Rectangular Table Clock
Why it’s special
Nebolo takes a classic table clock shape and refreshes it with a clean rectangle, stretched Roman numerals and a polished nickel body. The design is modern without losing the elegance of a traditional clock. It even comes with a gentle ticking, a small detail that adds to its nostalgic charm. It is ideal as either a gift or a smart finishing piece in a study or living room.
Where to place it
• On a side table in the living room, alongside a low tray or a single decorative bowl
• On a desk with a small lamp or a single sculptural object to anchor the space
Style tip
Mix its cool metallic finish with warmer textures, such as a woven runner, wood tray, or a soft vase with dried flowers, to create a balanced, lived-in look. Because the clock is slim, it also suits narrow console tables or shelves where space is limited.
Latham Aluminium Rectangular Clock
5. Latham Aluminium Rectangular Clock
Why it’s special
Latham brings a larger, more commanding presence to a mantel or console. Its layered base, understated Roman numerals, and polished metal finish give it a timeless, classic feel. It is elegant, substantial, and versatile enough to work in both minimalist and highly-stylised rooms.
Where to place it
• Centre stage on a mantel with one tall candle or slim vase on each side for a formal, balanced look
• On a wide console table with a single statement sculpture or a small cluster of books to add height variation
Style tip
Because of its size, place it on a side table with a textured rug or a soft floor lamp nearby to create atmosphere, letting the clock remain the focal point.
Gibbons Grey Skeleton Clock
6. Gibbons Grey Skeleton Clock
Why it’s special
A statement wall clock that doubles as art, Gibbons is for spaces that welcome drama and scale. Its skeleton style exposes the moving cogs, giving a sense of mechanical beauty and that classic, old‑world charm. Finished in a rustic matte grey metallic, it feels industrial yet refined. The clock also carries a gentle ticking, which adds nostalgia and warmth to the room.
Where to place it
• Above a sofa or console in a living room, where its size creates an immediate focal point
• On a large hallway wall, paired with a simple console or bench below for practicality and style
Style tip
Use darker woods, stone or metal furnishings nearby, but avoid heavy pattern overload. A few well-chosen objects or low candles on a console will let the clock’s structure remain the hero. It is ideal in rooms with high ceilings or open layouts that need a dramatic anchor.
Aruna Modern Mirrored Wall Clock
7. Aruna Modern Mirrored Wall Clock
Why it’s special
Aruna brings contemporary glamour to any wall. Crafted from stepped mirrored panels with black numerals, it reflects light and surroundings, making it perfect for smaller or darker areas that need brightness as well as style. Its silent operation is a thoughtful detail for bedrooms, studies or quiet lounges where ticking is not wanted.
Where to place it
• Above a sideboard in a dining room, paired with a low vase and a small lamp or candleholder
• In an entryway or hallway above a console, to create an immediate sense of modern style
Style tip
Complement the mirrored surface with soft fabrics, warm wood, or a single metallic accent such as antique brass or bronze nearby. Because it reflects the room, ensure the surrounding space is tidy, and choose accessories that are sculptural rather than overly colourful.
Styling clocks in 2026, the Libra way
• Keep accessories few but textural. A clock should anchor a scene, not compete with it.
• Mix metals with wood, stone, or ceramics for warmth. A nickel or brass clock on a wooden shelf looks intentional, calm and never too cold.
• Layer height with one tall object such as a lamp or vase, plus one low object like a candle or bowl. This makes any clock feel part of a thoughtfully composed vignette.
• Consider scale. Smaller clocks are perfect for side tables, desks or slim shelves. Larger mantel or wall clocks need a bit more space to breathe, so pair them with minimal but meaningful décor.
