I'm a Style Editor Who Loves Home Deals But Hates Black Friday – This is Where to Bag the Bargains and Swerve the Frenzy
Score chic, sans the splurge
Recent updates
October 24 — We've checked when your favorite retailers are starting their early Black Friday sales, and listed links to their home deal pages. We've also added Black Friday home deal know-how from our top team who have years of deal-hunting curation experience. October 10 — We have reviewed prices and checked stock on all of the products listed below. We'll continue to check the deals and update the page to reflect any changes.
I'm going to cut to the chase: I'm not here to just bring you any old home deals. That would be too easy. As a shopping editor at Livingetc, I'm held to higher standards – so, while I'm going to use this page to help you reach the best home retailers' sale pages fast, know that I also spend hours upon hours every week trawling their websites with one goal: unearthing the most stylish, highest quality finds at the best prices for you.
I hate to mention that Black Friday is coming – most of us wouldn't typically associate it with creating a thoughtfully curated home – but, fact of life: it's a great time to find what you need at a discount. The trick is to know where to shop, whether for the best sofa, a hotel-quality bedding set, or simply a beautifully scented candle.
So, my aim for this page? For you to click on each and every home deal, big or small, and think: "Wow, I can get that for this price?" Yes, you can.
I'll keep this page up-to-date with coverage of the best home sales, across all categories, through fall, up to Black Friday and beyond, so do bookmark it and, as always, tell your friends...

The Best Home Furniture Deals Right Now
I'll be adding to this page constantly so that you can always find high-style, low-cost home deals from your favorite retailers. These are my top picks on sale.
Best Accent Chair Deal
Over $900 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 Loveseat Deal
More time indoors calls for your coziest reinforcements, and for me, that means one thing and one thing only: boucle. This is one of the best loveseats I've seen in some time with its unique cloud-like construction and high-end design appeal — all for under $400! Perfect for two, it’s the ideal size for small spaces or as a statement styled alongside full-sized sofas. Oh, and it’s earned a perfect 5-star rating.
Best Sofa Deal
Despite making your wallet cringe a little initially, you can absolutely never go wrong with a classic leather sofa. West Elm’s sleek, minimalist version in supple saddle leather is so gorgeous, it doesn’t even need throw pillows. But if that's your thing, go for jewel tones (especially oxblood — a Livingetc favorite hue at the moment) and pair it with textured throws. One of the best sofas you can buy at the moment.
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 Coffee Table Deal
If I saw this sitting in someone’s living room, the last place I’d guess it came from is Amazon. That fluted detailing? Divine. The shape? So high-end. I'm of the opinion that it's one of the retailer's best coffee tables, effortlessly elevating any room beyond the usual boxy suspects. I’m loving it in rich walnut — it feels seasonal without being too imposing. Plus, it’s just under 40 inches, making it a perfect match for smaller spaces.
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 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.
When will Black Friday Home Sales begin?
"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.

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."
