Best time to buy furniture

Products & Sourcing Questions

Thinking this community would be a great resource for this question brought up by a friend recently!
When do you buy furniture? :couch_and_lamp:
Do you just go out and get it when you need it? Do you wait for a sale?
Do you purchase by holiday? (Memorial day, Black Friday, etc?) Do you find that retailers have better sales for some holidays over others?
Do your favorite retailers allow you to stack holiday discounts with trade discounts?

Any and all insight into when to buy furniture is welcome! :pray:

Ah I’m always wondering when the best time to buy furniture is! I love my friend (and Spoak member!) Cristina Cleveland’s advice on this topic.

She says the best time of year to buy your “bang for your buck” piece of furniture is Black Friday. (A bang for your buck piece is anything that has a noticeable impact on your home—and is usually a type of furniture that is a wishlist item.) Black Friday seems to have some of the best furniture deals too, IMO.

I feel like I’m not very good at typing my big interior design purchases with big holiday furniture sales like Labor Day, Memorial Day, President’s Day, etc. but this is a great reminder to be more strategic about it!

I’ve noticed that a few brands that I have trade accounts email me extra deals in addition to the sale they’re already running, like Lulu & Georgia. (Mental note to plan my outdoor furniture purchases with a big pre-winter sale! :smiley:)

Great question, and honestly, timing can make a big difference when buying furniture — both in terms of price and availability.

Personally, I try to plan big furniture purchases around major holiday sales like Memorial Day, Labor Day, or Black Friday. These are often when retailers offer the deepest discounts. Also, the beginning and end of the year tend to bring clearance events as stores change inventory.

Some retailers also allow you to stack trade discounts with holiday promos, so it’s worth checking with them or signing up for their newsletters in advance.

If you’re looking for a detailed breakdown, I came across this really useful guide:

It outlines which months and holidays typically have the best deals — super handy if you’re planning ahead.

Hope this helps! :blush:
