Design Time History

Design Time and Tile Established

Design Time and Tile was established on Eastside Road, by Strange and Son in 1993. It was a small location, but we quickly built a devoted following.

Design Time Moved to current location

Rapidly outgrowing the Eastside Road location in Redding, we moved to our current location, however were only occupying about a third of the complex. Mark's Place was an area favorite watering hole on the front of the property, and the west end of the main building had other tenants.

Design Time expansion

We expanded the showroom three times in 10 years, eventually taking over the entire main building with showroom, warehouse space, and offices. By 2006 we were the largest flooring retailer in Northern California with the widest selection of quality products.

Expansion of the current location completed

With the closure of Mark's Place, Design Time took over the building and converted it to more showroom space as well as adding a covered granite yard with a large selection of granite slabs.
