Sterling Home has revealed its Tillicoultry flagship store’s most significant refurbishment in 50 years.
"The UK’s largest furniture store is gearing up to shake up the shopping scene," says the retailer. "Covering 250,000 sqft, the multi-million-pound transformation has created more than just a store – it's a full-on experience built around an improved customer journey.
"Big, bold and bursting with inspiration, it’s a place you could spend half a day exploring. Featuring refined layouts, designer-led departments, and a thrilling take on home shopping, Tillicoultry has something for everyone."
Tillicoultry’s transformation marks a milestone moment for the family-owned brand, which first opened its doors at the former Devonvale Mill in 1974. Over the decades, the building has evolved from a single showroom into a multi-level destination, but this latest revamp represents its most ambitious renewal yet.
The updated store features a number of stand-out attractions, says Sterling, including the UK’s largest dining furniture showroom, with an impressive 110 dining sets on display.
Popular names such as Duresta and At the Helm lead the line-up in the sofa studio, reinforcing Sterling Home’s reputation for quality, choice, and design-led collections.
'Queen of Print' Orla Kiely's vibrant interiors are available exclusively in Scotland at Tillicoultry, while a leading celebrity mum will soon launch her first-ever furniture collection at Tillicoultry and throughout Sterling Home stores in Scotland.
Sterling Home Tillicoultry also features brands and collections generally not available anywhere outside London.
Ruby Gondek, who has worked at the Tillicoultry branch for 49 years and will celebrate her golden 50th "work-a-versary" in November 2026 described the reopening as "a moment of pride": “Tillicoultry has been transformed into a true destination for the whole family. With something to explore around every corner, from inspiring interiors to everyday furniture, it’s a place where everyone can enjoy the experience together."
Euan Graham, buying and marketing director, and third-generation family owner at Sterling Home, comments: “We are absolutely delighted to reopen with an all-round better experience for our loyal customers, and we can’t wait to welcome new faces too.”
With stores across Scotland, in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Uddingston, Dunfermline, Montrose and Elgin, Sterling's Tillicoultry location remains the company’s flagship and the heart of its operations. Originally built in 1840, the Devonvale Mill has long been part of the region’s heritage. From its days as a barracks during the First World War to its transformation into a furniture showroom in the 1970s, the building has evolved with the community around it.
Sterling Home’s history even includes a royal connection – the business once furnished the rest room for the late Queen at Alloa Town Hall.
Now, 50 years on, the newly refurbished Tillicoultry store reinforces the brand’s position at the forefront of UK home retail. The brand will launch its up-to 30% off winter sale on Boxing Day.
