Thanksgiving not only brings house guests but also big Black Friday sales. If youโre in the market for a new pull-out couch, more chairs for the dining room, or dreaming of a guest-room refresh, there are many Black Friday deals to be had online and in stores. Iโm looking forward to tracking down a few key items for the holidays, and luckily, alongside furniture, you can also find household goods marked down and holiday decor like string lights and faux Christmas trees, if you need some of those. Thanks to Black Friday sales, maybe the best gift you give yourself this holiday is a furniture facelift for your home. Below is a list (I checked it twice) of the best Black Friday furniture deals for 2024.
This year, Black Friday falls on November 29 and will likely continue throughout the weekend until Cyber Monday, December 2. Sales online often occur before Black Friday with early-bird promotions and markdowns, so it is possible to start shopping early. If you plan to furniture shop using Black Friday deals, note that they usually start at midnight (12:01am) after Thanksgiving in brick-and-mortar stores.
Most well-known furniture retailers and brands will participate in Black Friday sales. Look for bundle deals and deep discounts on many types of indoor and outdoor furniture. You could save hundreds of dollars or more by taking part in these special post-Thanksgiving sales. If you are considering a whole room refresh, Black Friday weekend is an excellent time due to the steep discounts. Good finds on kitchen, dining, bathroom, bedroom, and living room furniture will abound during Black Friday, if last year was any indication.
Major brands jumped onboard the Black Friday furniture sales, including the heavy hitters, like Pottery Barn, Wayfair, Amazon, CB2, and Macy's, but also Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters. These stores offered site-wide sales and individual discounts on furniture and homegoods.
Itโs easy to feel a little overwhelmed at all the choices (I do!) in comfortable couches, chairs, and moreโespecially if you are shopping online over Black Friday. There will be many markdowns and discounts to consider before you make your purchase. With full-price furniture typically being expensive, it can feel exciting (and pressure-inducing) when prices are lowered.
Make a list of what you need, measure your room dimensions (extremely important for furniture shopping), and consider colors and styles. Right now, Iโm looking at a few special items with specific dimensions. Donโt make the mistake Iโve made and buy something without measuring the space.
In the two weeks (or even now) leading up to Black Friday, sign up for emails from your favorite retailers, set up Google alerts, and make sure to follow all the brands you love on social media. Do some deep Internet dives to check the retailers' sites to learn about the timing of sales and any special announcements.
Come up with a list of what you want to buy, first. Furniture (even on sale) can be expensive so make up a budget of how much you want to spend.
After youโve figured out the furniture you want to buy, make sure that the dimensions fit into the space where it will go.
Some furniture stores, especially those that sell mattresses or beds, offer trials and returns. But during sales, they may change those policies up. Double-check the returns and trial periods for anything you buy on Black Friday.
Many online furniture stores start their sales early to Black Friday, others unveil their markdowns at midnight, but you can find some of the biggest deals on retailersโ sitewide sales such as Wayfair, Pottery Barn, Target, and West Elm.
