I am designing an application where the user can select an object and a date. The system should then display the availability of this object, that is, what times on this particular date the object is available.

Some more details:


The time range is from 7:00-22:00;
Object can be reserved for time blocks of 15 minutes;
There is no maximum size of a time block, other than the whole day.


I was thinking about some grid of times and then color in the blocks which are booked, like this:



but I am afraid that would be confusing. A list of available times would become too large since there are too many possibilities with a time block of 15 minutes.

Another option I was thinking of is just let the user pick a time and show whether it is available, but that would become annoying quickly when the chosen block is often not available.

My question is: what is the best practice to implement this feature? Any help is welcome!
