As a Style Editor at Livingetc, I hold myself to high standards, not just around the quality of the products and brands but also on only bring you styling, design-forward finds.

The Best Home Furniture Deals Right Now
Best Accent Chair Deal
Over $800 off one of Walmart's best velvet accent chairs. I mean, deals like this don’t just come around every day! I love the juxtaposition of the plush, cushy seat with its sharp, modern lines — it’s comfort, but with an edge. Design-forward and cozy, this is the chair you’ll want to sink into while binge-watching Halloween flicks this fall (or, you know, impressing picky guests). Grab one or, better yet, buy two for a contemporary conversation couple.
Best Dining Table Deal
I take my dining tables seriously. This mid-century-inspired beauty is perfect for gatherings, whether it’s family dinners or wine-fueled nights with friends. Its light, airy glass top gives the illusion of more space — ideal if you’re working with a smaller area. Also a prime opportunity to showcase a fun patterned rug underneath! West Elm’s quality doesn’t hurt either, and the fact it's on clearance? Snap it up fast.
Best Sleeper Sofa Deal
Surprise! The in-laws are staying over. And suddenly, the lack of a guest bedroom becomes a real dilemma. Finding yourself one of the best sleeper sofas is key. This particular one not only looks sleek enough for a living room, but it’s got rave reviews for comfort too. No ugly bulk here — just clean-lined elegance in a range of shades like black, dark gray, and ocean blue. If I needed one right now, this would be my pick, 100%.
Best Lighting Deal
Scallops are having a major moment. Playful, fanciful, and fun — scalloped edges are popping up everywhere, but have you seen them in rattan? Delightfully unexpected, they add a touch of whimsy to any room, especially in sun-drenched spaces. Currently 29% off, these are some of the best table lamps on Wayfair's website right now — sophisticated without taking themselves too seriously.
Best Rug Deal
50% off one of best rugs to double as art? Yes, please. And it's not just any abstract rug — a sizeable one at that, offering tremendous bang for your buck. It's shed-resistant, sparing you from that annoying six-week purging process and making it an ideal pick for your most high-traffic areas. Pair it with bold accents in orange or red for a design-forward pop of color.
Best Bedding Deal
Hotel sheets are the ultimate luxury. Brooklinen’s fan-favorite percale makes your bed feel like a five-star suite with its soft, crisp finish that’s perfect for all seasons. At nearly half off, I wanted to gatekeep the brand's best bedding deal, but I had a change of heart. Pro tip: pair with patterned sheets for a high-contrast, high-impact bedscape.
Have Black Friday Home Sales Begun?
"Though Black Friday falls on November 29th, the sales, including some unmissable home deals, tend to be dropped any time from mid-October through mid-November," says Livingetc's Ecommerce Content Director Lindsey Davis. "The Home Depot's Black Friday sale is slated to start on November 6th, for example, while Wayfair's Black Friday Preview has already begun."
So, if you want to get a head start on your holiday gifting (and score some killer home finds in the process), now's the time. That said, don’t get too comfortable! While some deals roll out in advance, they won’t stick around for long. The best finds tend to disappear fast, so keep an eye on this page as we approach the big day to stay ahead of the crowd.
Are Black Friday Home Deals Any Good?
"Early Black Friday home deals can be really good, with larger retailers such as Wayfair often looking to clear stock before the sales begin in earnest, with discounts of up to 70%," continues Lindsey Davis. "We also often see other large retailers discount furniture by between 30 to 50%, while home decor, from lighting to bedding can see similarly big discounts in the run up to the event.

"You can, of course, be lucky and come across a good deal on any given day throughout the sales period. Or, you could bookmark this page and keep coming back for the latest information, which our shopping team is all over. But I would always advise that you begin to watch prices for anything you've earmarked for your home from early September onwards – some retailers will even allow you to hold product in your basket, which makes monitoring that week's price easier. That way, you can begin to discern what is a good price for any given product you want to buy for your home, then bag it when it's the right price for you.
"Or you could hold your nerve and wait until Cyber Monday to shop home deals but, in my experience, the best sale prices are often to be found in the week before the actual day."
When Is the Best Time to Shop Home Deals?
"I've worked with our editors for seven years across our home sales pages, watching price dips and peaks, and I can honestly say that the best time to shop home deals is either at the end of a season, when retailers are about to bring in next season's stock (summer bedding is on sale right now, for example), or during the peak sales season, which really starts when retailers start to drop prices for Black Friday in early to mid-October," says Lucy Searle, Livingetc's Content Director for Audience.
"As Lindsey says above, the best prices often drop in the few days before Black Friday, so I would really begin to look in earnest from November 22nd. That said, some retailers, such as Brooklinen, already have live deals on their sales pages that look too good to be true."
Are Black Friday Home Deals Better Than After Christmas Home Deals?
Black Friday Home Deals are pretty comparable with After Christmas Home Deals in terms of pricing (you can use camelcamelcamel, for example, to track and compare prices in Amazon sales), but the offer is often broader during Black Friday sales than post-Christmas when retailers are essentially just trying to offload anything that hasn't sold in their fall/winter collections, and which they need to shed before they bring their spring collections into store or online.
"If I had a home buy that I really wanted to buy and saw it on sale at a price I could afford during the Black Friday period, I wouldn't wait until after Christmas to buy," advises Lindsey Davis. "There's a chance you could potentially get it cheaper then, but there's a much higher likelihood that it will be out of stock by then, particularly if it's a very seasonally-focussed product, such as warm bedding."
