A little about who we are and how we started

ABOUT us

With over 30 years experience in the interiors industry, sourcing products from Europe, China and India for design-led multiples, Ewan & Emma Douglas decided to build a brand of their own. In 2009, Time & Tide began, a culmination of all they have learnt.

Our brand is now an established interiors retailer within Scotland, with 9 stores across Glasgow, Edinburgh, North Berwick, Peebles & Fife. And of course, our website servicing all of the UK!

Our first store in North Berwick

On 9th May 2009, we opened our first store at 48 High St, North Berwick.

The store was home to a colourful array of exotic shells piled high in glass vases beneath draped bunting, alongside model lighthouses!

With mirrors, lighting and smaller furniture selling well, we soon expanded...

2010

Opening of our 2nd & 3rd Stores

Within the year, a larger unit on North Berwick High Steet became available and we took it on, allowing us to showcase larger items of furniture & interior accessories.

We still trade both units on the same street!

We also expanded into the Scottish Border town of Peebles, extending our offering of beautiful interior products.

Our fourth store at 225 Morningside Rd, Edinburgh opened in 2011. This small unit was replaced with a much larger unit up the hill at 7-9 Church Hill Place in 2014.

Comprising of four rooms, Church Hill Place in an interior enthusiast's dream, with a mixture of large sideboards and occasional chairs merchandised alongside blooming florals, statement sculptural vases and our signature home fragrance range!

A new store opens on Byres Road

Towards the end of 2013, we opened 398 Byres Road, located in Glasgow's trendy West End.

Taking into account the styles and tastes of the local clientele, Glasgow sells slightly edgier and bolder pieces. Think dramatic chandeliers, oversized mirrors, colourful velvet occasional chairs and you are half way there!

Our Pop-Up Christmas store opened at 53 Cockburn St. Edinburgh in November 2016 and it went so well we decided to stay.
