Sterling Home Unveils Tillicoultry Flagship Store As Ultimate Family Shopping Destination



Sterling Home has revealed its Tillicoultry flagship store’s most breathtaking refurbishment in 50 years.


The UK’s largest furniture store is gearing up to shake up the shopping scene. Covering a massive 250,000 sq. ft, 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. In fact, shoppers might want to take a seat for this next statistic.


The updated store features a number of standout attractions, including the UK’s largest dining furniture showroom with a whopping 110 dining sets on display.


Popular names such as Duresta and At The Helm lead the lineup in the sofa studio, reinforcing Sterling Home’s reputation for quality, choice, and design-led collections.

Discover Queen of Print Orla Kiely's vibrant interiors, 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’.


Euan Graham, Buying & Marketing Director and third-generation family owner at Sterling Home said:

“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."

“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,”


Founded in Scotland more than half a century ago, Sterling Home has built its name on craftsmanship and quality. Today, with stores across the country, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Uddingston, Dunfermline, Montrose and Elgin, its 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. As it looks to the next half-century, the store combines heritage and innovation on a scale unmatched anywhere else in the country.


With the brand launching its up to 30% off Winter Sale on Boxing Day, it’s the perfect moment to discover the latest offers and experience the newly refurbished Tillicoultry flagship for yourself.
