The Art of Time: A Styling Concept by Navin Kanodia
Artwork and clocks are often treated as separate elements of an interior. A framed print brings colour, imagery and emotion to a wall, while a clock serves the practical purpose of telling time. The Masterpiece collection explores what happens when these two elements are brought together as one considered composition.
Styled by Navin Kanodia, Interior Stylist, and Spacio’s Interior Styling team, the collection reflects a design-led approach to combining art with functional objects. Rather than placing a clock beside an unrelated print, the aim is to create a visual relationship between the artwork, the clock’s form and the surrounding space.
This is an exercise in composition, proportion and placement. The artwork establishes the visual setting, while the clock introduces structure, movement and function. Together, they create a wall feature that can be appreciated as both an artistic arrangement and a working timepiece.
The Masterpiece Collection: Art and Design in Conversation
The Masterpiece collection is a creative styling concept developed by Spacio’s Interior Styling team under the styling direction of Navin Kanodia. It brings together selected art prints and designer clocks to create a unified wall composition, demonstrating how individual objects can take on a different character when considered as part of a larger design.
Navin Kanodia brings extensive experience in the luxury interiors and decor business, with Spacio’s journey dating back to 1995. His work in interior styling draws on an understanding of how objects, finishes, scale and visual balance contribute to the character of a space. The Masterpiece concept puts this design thinking into practice by exploring the relationship between artwork and timekeeping.
Instead of treating the clock as an accessory added after the artwork has been selected, the composition considers both elements together. Their scale, finish, position and visual presence help shape the complete arrangement. This approach can offer a more purposeful alternative to filling a wall with unrelated decorative pieces.
Featured Composition: Ethereal Luminescence and Nomon Barcelona Gold
The Ethereal Luminescence Art x Nomon Barcelona Gold Clock illustrates the thinking behind the Masterpiece collection. Styled by Navin Kanodia and Spacio’s Interior Styling team, this composition brings together an art print and Nomon’s Barcelona Premium clock in a gold finish.
The artwork provides the visual foundation, framed in brushed gold metal with non-reflective glass. The Barcelona clock introduces its distinctive rings and hands, creating a sculptural form that interacts with the image. The moving hands bring an element of change to an otherwise still composition, making the passage of time part of the overall visual experience.
The gold finish also helps establish a relationship between the clock and the framed artwork. Rather than allowing the two pieces to compete for attention, the styling brings them together as parts of a single wall feature.
This is the essence of the concept: the impact comes not only from the individual objects, but from the way they are brought together. It demonstrates how considered styling can create a distinctive focal point from functional and decorative elements.
Navin Kanodia: Interior Styling Through Experience
Navin Kanodia is an interior stylist and the driving force behind the creative direction of this Masterpiece composition. With decades of experience in the luxury interiors and decor business, he approaches styling through the relationship between objects, their surroundings and the atmosphere they help create.
Interior styling involves more than selecting attractive products. It requires an understanding of scale, colour, proportion, material and placement, along with the ability to see how separate elements will work together in a real space. A clock may be a functional object, and a print may be a work of visual expression, but their relationship can determine whether the final arrangement feels disconnected or cohesive.
The Masterpiece collection demonstrates this approach through the pairing of art and designer timepieces. By considering the artwork and clock as parts of one composition, Navin Kanodia and the Spacio Interior Styling team explore a more integrated way to style a wall.
This practical, design-led perspective is informed by Spacio’s longstanding work with international design brands and luxury interiors. The collection offers a view into the thinking behind the styling, rather than presenting the finished arrangement as a combination of products alone.
Why Combine Artwork with a Designer Clock?
Create a Unified Wall Feature
When artwork and a clock are selected and positioned together, they can create a stronger visual relationship than pieces chosen independently. The artwork provides imagery and colour, while the clock adds form and movement. Their connection gives the wall a clear focal point.
This approach can be especially useful when a room needs one well-defined feature rather than a collection of separate accessories. The composition gives the eye a central point of interest while helping the surrounding furniture and finishes feel connected to the overall scheme.
Bring Function into the Styling
Decorative objects often contribute to a room's appearance without serving an everyday purpose. A designer clock offers both visual interest and timekeeping. When integrated with artwork, it becomes part of the styling while continuing to perform its practical role.
Combine Still Imagery with Movement
An art print remains visually still, while the hands of a clock move through the day. In an art-and-clock composition, these different qualities can work together. The artwork establishes the scene, while the clock introduces movement and a connection to everyday life.
Move Beyond Conventional Wall Decor
A wall does not always need several separate pictures, mirrors and accessories to feel complete. A carefully styled art-and-clock installation offers another approach, using the relationship between two elements to create a distinctive visual statement.
The value lies in the composition itself: how the elements relate, how much space they occupy and how they work with the rest of the interior. This is where the perspective of an interior stylist can make a meaningful difference.
Where Can Art-and-Clock Compositions Work?
Living Room Feature Walls
A wall behind a seating arrangement can provide a natural setting for an art-and-clock composition. The combined installation can become the main visual feature without requiring several unrelated objects. Consider the width of the wall, the furniture below it and the viewing distance when deciding on placement.
Entrance Areas and Foyers
An entrance creates the first impression of a home. A considered art-and-clock arrangement can establish the interior's character from the moment someone walks in. It can work particularly well above a console or on a clear wall where the complete composition can be seen without obstruction.
Large and Double-Height Walls
Large walls can be challenging to style because small decorative pieces may appear disconnected. A well-proportioned composition can help bring focus to the wall and establish a clearer relationship with the surrounding space. Always assess the full dimensions of the installation against the wall's height, width and nearby furniture.
Executive Offices and Reception Spaces
In professional interiors, artwork and designer timekeeping can work together to create a distinctive focal point. An art-and-clock composition can be considered for executive offices, reception areas and client-facing spaces where design and everyday function both matter.
The Styling Principles Behind a Cohesive Composition
Scale and Proportion
The artwork and clock need to relate to each other as well as to the wall. A composition that is too small may lose its presence on a large wall, while an oversized arrangement can overwhelm a more compact room. Consider the overall dimensions rather than judging each object separately.
Colour and Finish
Colour can establish a connection between the artwork and the clock. A finish such as gold may relate to the frame or details within a print, while contrast in shape and texture can help each element remain distinct. The objective is not to make everything match, but to create a relationship that feels intentional.
Position and Visual Balance
The placement of the clock in relation to the artwork affects how the complete composition is read. The clock should have enough room for its shape and moving hands to remain visible, while the artwork should retain its own visual presence. These decisions help the two elements work together instead of appearing to compete.
The Relationship with Furniture
A wall composition should also relate to what sits below or beside it. A console, sofa or desk can help establish the visual scale of the arrangement. Leave sufficient space between the installation and nearby furniture so that the wall feature feels considered rather than crowded.
Discover Nomon Designer Clocks
The featured Masterpiece composition includes the Barcelona Premium clock by Nomon, a design brand from Barcelona known for distinctive timepieces. Its recognisable rings, hands and gold finish give it a strong visual presence, making it well suited to a composition in which the clock is intended to be part of the artwork's overall design.
In the Ethereal Luminescence pairing, the clock's form and finish interact with the framed print. The result demonstrates how a designer timepiece can serve as more than a standalone way to tell the time: it can become an active element in a wider interior styling idea.
