Now is well and truly the time to stock up on your faves — or perhaps your lust-afters — in Wayfair's end-of-year clearance sale, which has offers of up to 60% off.

Let's be honest, Wayfair is huge, and their home furnishing selection is unparalleled, so it's understandable that it can feel a tad overwhelming to navigate, particularly when so many deals are up for grabs. So, to make your life easier, I have listed out the most stylish brands on Wayfair so you can click your way directly through to the most design-forward home deals.

"Over the seven years I've been working across the sales, I've watched Wayfair's Daily Sales page closely. They are always competitive, and because it's a trustworthy brand that is known for selling high-quality goods, those savings are more valuable still. And don't forget if you register for a Wayfair card, you can gain more benefits when you shop," says Lindsey Davis, ecommerce content director at Livingetc. Happy deal hunting!

Wayfair's Most Stylish Brands

You can browse Wayfair by brands. These are listed out alphabetically on the site and also by style. Our favorites are the more contemporary brands, but we also love some of those selling timeless, traditional pieces and cool coastal-style homewares. We've listed the best below.

Are Wayfair After-Christmas Sales Better than Wayfair Black Friday sales?

"Wayfair after-Christmas sales are really competitive," says Lucy Searle. "However, it's hard to say that they are better than the Black Friday sale because discounts are fairly similar," comments Lucy Searle, Content Director for Audience at Livingetc.

"That said, it depends what you're shopping. IF you are looking for discounts on, let's say, festive decor or anything overtly useful for New Year's Eve, such as glassware, you're likely to find it all more heavily discounted after Christmas than on Black Friday. And if you are just shopping 'dining chairs', you may well get a better discount in January. However, if you are shopping a particular dining chair, sofa, or even glassware, you're likely to find a better offering over Black Friday than post-Christmas when stock across the board will be lower."

What is Way Day?

Way Day is Wayfair’s twice-annual mega sale, happening once in the spring and once in the fall. The spring sale took place from May 4th to 6th in 2024, and the fall edition started on October 5th and was due to finish on the 7th, but was extended through to the 9th! It saw pieces up to 80% off! A great time to snag an amazing deal.

"We expect Way Day in 2025 to be in early May once again, and will have more information on this as spring progresses," says Lindsey Davis.

What are Wayfair's Open Box Deals?

While not a sale event in the traditional sense, Wayfair's Open Box Deals are a great way to score major discounts. These items are like new — simply returned by customers — so their boxes have been opened, but the products themselves are in top condition.

It’s an excellent opportunity to snag great pieces at marked-down prices, but you’ll need to act fast. The deals are one-offs and tend to sell out quickly!

When Is Wayfair's MLK Day Sale?

"Wayfair doesn't typically have a named MLK Day sale (which this year falls on January 20th), however, you will find that prices are competitive around this particular weekend," says Lindsey Davis.

"This is a particularly good time of year to pick up end-of-line winter and outdoor furniture sale collections, as retailers like Wayfair try to offload the last of their stock before the spring collections arrive."

When is Wayfair's Memorial Day Sale?

The next Memorial Day falls on May 26th, 2025. In 2024, Wayfair hosted a 72-Hour Clearout Sale over three days, so it’s smart to keep an eye on the site in the weeks leading up to and after Memorial Day for the best markdowns and discounts.

Can Anyone Access Wayfair Sales?

Wayfair’s sales are open to everyone, as long as you’re able to shop online. Daily Deals are regularly updated outside of sale periods.

When Does Wayfair's Black Friday Sale Start?

Black Friday officially falls the day after Thanksgiving, which in 2024 was Friday, November 29th — however, Wayfair started its Black Friday sale on 11th November with discounts of up to 70% off, so anticipate similar dates and savings for 2025!

Check Wayfair's daily sales page for the latest sales information.

Are Wayfair Black Friday Sales Any Good?

"Wayfair Black Friday sales are typically really good," says Lindsey Davis, Ecommerce Content Director for Livingetc. "In 2024, we saw discounts of up to 70% across all the furniture and home decor categories; these discounts began at the end of October and beginning of November, and continued throughout the month to Black Friday. On Cyber Monday, prices were dropped further to up to 80% off sitewide.

"On products where prices have been slashed dramatically, I wouldn't necessarily expect greater discounts," continues Lindsey. "My best advice would be to buy anything you've had earmarked that's already at 50 to 80% off, and to watch anything carefully that's had a more conservative price cut. The easiest way to do this is to put it in your basket, ready to pay. That way, you can simply check in every day during the sales to see if the price of the item you want is cut further. After Cyber Monday, though, you might begin to see stock numbers dwindle on some items, and prices to go back up until the after-Christmas sale, so timing is all important."

When Does Wayfair's Cyber Monday Sale Start?

In 2024, Wayfair's Cyber Monday sale started on Monday, December 2nd, with savings of up to 80% off sitewide — that is by far the biggest savings we have seen in 2024 — and their Cyber Monday sales continued further into December, too. We are hoping for the same in 2025!
