Ladies and gentlemen, it's 75-degrees Fahrenheit in New York and you know what that means — summer is finally here. I know I might be getting ahead of myself ever-so-slightly, but I can't help it; the minute it's warm enough to comfortable walk outside without a jacket, my mind shifts into beach mode.

Of course, as a style editor for an interior design website, that also means I'm spending a lot of time thinking about the best outdoor furniture and the best outdoor furniture sales. There are some excellent finds out there right now, you just have to know where to look. Case in point? The viral Amazon Adirondack chair I tracked down a few weeks ago. That baby was one of your favorites, dear reader, seeing as it garnered plenty of clicks from you and your design-obsessed counterparts.

And now, I'm back with yet another Adirondack-related find, only it's much more chic and, most importantly, included in the Way Day Wayfair sale. Oh, and did I mention there is free shipping?

Adirondack chairs are so timeless. Their relaxed and instantly recognizable design has been a staple of summer bonfires and backyard lounging for decades — so why mess with a good thing?

Well, Wayfair private brand AllModern may have actually managed to update this classic design in a way that complements the original while still reinventing the proverbial wheel.

The Ratcliff Resin Adirondack Chair, linked above, defies expectations as a piece of affordable and accessible patio furniture. And by that I mean It's chic, it's design-forward, and it's customer-loved. To be clear, I've never seen it in person, but I'm inclined to trust the overwhelmingly positive word of 1,253 consumer reviews.

From a design perspective, I'm drawn to the angled rectangular back panel, a departure from that quintessential arched look, as well as the low-profile, close-to-the-ground structure. This specific chair is also moisture-, weather-, insect-, and fade-resistant with built-in UV protection, so you know it's ready for a few months out in the heat.

How long is the Wayfair Sale?

This year's Way Day sale runs from May 4 to 6, but the discounts will come back around again in the fall for Way Day Part 2. Those dates aren't announced yet, but we will totally circle back once we have them.

In the meantime, though, this is definitely the best time to splurge on big-ticket home items until Black Friday or the other fall sale, when the holidays are just around the corner.

Wayfair's sale section is a treasure trove of stylish finds. Lawn furniture, clever storage solutions, even a one-off sculptural vase you didn’t know you needed. It’s a chance to stumble on new favorites (you’ll find plenty below) or finally spring for those bucket list pieces you’ve been eyeing and waiting to justify.

I’ve vetted the best home deals — whether it’s something you’ve already had bookmarked or something brand new — so you don’t have to. And if it’s here, it’s a deal worth noting.

We’re talking consistently glowing reviews (think 4 stars and up, no exceptions), strong materials (no flimsy filler), and yes — style. Expect the usual suspects: Joss & Main, TOV Furniture, AllModern, and more — at prices that don’t require second-guessing. These items won't stay in stock for long.

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 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?

Officially, Black Friday falls on Friday, November 28 in 2025. But last year, Wayfair got a head start, kicking off their Black Friday event two weeks early — on November 11 — with discounts up to 70%. Expect a similar timeline in 2025, and consider this your sign to mark your calendar now.

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!

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."

When Is Wayfair's MLK Day Sale?

"Wayfair doesn't typically have a named MLK Day sale (which, for 2026, falls on January 19th), 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."

Silvery metallics are having a moment — and the best chrome tableware is hiding on Wayfair.

What is Way Day?

Way Day is Wayfair’s twice-yearly mega sale, held each spring and fall. The spring edition happened from April 26 through April 28, 2025, with savings on thousands of items across all categories. (Yes, even the ones you thought never go on sale.) The fall version typically lands in early October. Sometimes Wayfair will sneak in an extra day or two of deals, but don’t bank on it — shop early.

How can I choose the best outdoor furniture?

When it comes to outdoor furniture, durability is key. Opt for materials like aluminum, teak, or all-weather wicker for long-lasting, low-maintenance options. Check for care information in product descriptions and go for pieces with machine-washable covers whenever possible. 

And remember: comfort, comfort, comfort! Prioritize lounging-friendly materials for a relaxing outdoor haven. Tailor your furniture choices to your lifestyle — whether it's cozy family moments or frequent entertaining — to create an inviting space that suits your needs.

Singer Kelly Clarkson is no stranger to the world of home decor, and if you're looking to redecorate this fall, her latest collection at Wayfair, 'Montana', is full of so many items that are perfect for the season. With the homeware giant releasing its annual Way Day deals, it’s also a great opportunity to shop the new collection at great prices, and we've picked out a few of our favorites you won't want to miss.

It's Day 2 of the two day Way Day sales on Wayfair, and I've surprised myself by going into overdrive. There are lots of offers on furniture and home decor - and a lot if it is not...what I'd personally go for. But if you know how to shop it you can find some absolute gems. And Wayfair's selection of on-sale reading chairs has helped me fill the corner of my living room I've been wondering what to do with for ages. 

Reading corners are the big interior design trend of right now. We all seem to want a little area of our homes to curl up in, hunker down in and let the hibernation vibes wash over us. For me, the perfect reading chair needs to be comfortable, smart and either cocooning or angled slightly back so that you feel like you're reclining. And Wayfair is managing to answer all these requests right now. 

In fact, although the Wayfair Black Friday sales are expected to be stellar, I think now is the time to buy, before the true frenzy begins. I truly believe this chair, below, to be the very best piece at this price available on the internet right now.

Though if you don't trust me, you can shop all of the chairs on Wayfair here.

The very best reading chair available on the internet right now

As a wedding gift, some friends clubbed together and bought me a reading chair in a similar shape and style to this - I know how much it cost because I'd been bookmarking it for ages. It was just over $1000 (and it was quite a large group of friends who grouped together). I love it because the padded seat is so comfortable, the arms are so perfectly angled for resting on and the tilt of the back really helps you nestle in.

So I am buying this very similar chair - at a fraction of the price - to go as my gift's pair. It looks just as good as the expensive version, and yet costs only just over $100, marked down from nearly $200. 

I can see it paired with a curved sofa in a minimalist living room, or used in a more eclectic space to add some refinement to a patterned scheme. It comes in four colors - I hovered over the dark green - and I think you're going to be hard-pressed to find a better piece at a better price today.

Have you ever wondered why living rooms are called living rooms? Most people spend the bulk of their time in the living room, second only to the kitchen. A space to relax and entertain, it’s at the heart of life in the modern home, so you don’t need me to spell out why this space demands such special attention.

Matching furniture sets don’t have the same prestige as they once did, or do they? Everything we see is constantly evolving, so perhaps furniture suites have evolved so that we no longer recognize them as such. The boom of big high street and online retailers, like Ikea, Target, and Wayfair, make furnishing our homes a breeze. With everything you need under one roof, you don’t have to look far to fill your space with the latest interior trends. We might not be knowingly buying furniture in a matching set, but I’d argue the likes of Ikea’s carefully procured living room gallery are a (not-so-subtle) nod in the same direction. 

The big question is, is this one-stop-shop approach the answer to creating a cohesive living room of like-minded pieces? Or does this picked-straight-out-the-catalog method leave our homes looking somewhat ‘vanilla’? Time-saving and cost-cutting furniture shopping is a tempting offer in our fast-paced modern lifestyle, but is there a price to pay for cutting corners? We turned to the experts for answers.

What does matching furniture look like in the 21st century?

Interior designer Christian Bense paints us a picture of a typical matching furniture set: ‘It’s the three-seater sofa that matches the two-seater sofa that matches the armchairs. The coffee table that matches the TV unit, which matches the entrance hall table.’ 

It might sound a tad OTT, but today’s Target equivalent isn’t as far from that as we’d like to think. ‘Just like shopping for a living room sofa suite, putting all your interior design eggs in one online basket means everything in your space starts to look like it's been painted with the same brush,’ says Christian. ‘Even though the pieces may differ, they all have the same flavor.’ And it’s undeniably vanilla. 

So, what's the verdict on matching furniture?

Interior designer Michelle Gerson sums up the general consensus amongst the professionals quite simply: ‘I do not think your living room furniture should match,’ she says. ‘Using different pieces and collections together in one space makes a room interesting.’ Repetition equals monotony, and monotony is the antithesis of the innate beauty that comes with being unique.

Christian agrees, ‘the best-designed spaces are the ones that look curated and collected, and this is achieved by variance,’ he says. ‘There are so many suppliers out there. You really don't need to buy your wall lights from the same place that made your sofa,’ he adds. 

One-stop shopping removes the opportunity to discover exciting new brands, support emerging designers, and find those one-of-a-kind treasures that make your home, well, yours! To prevent your personal taste from being overshadowed by a retailer’s house style, Christian recommends increasing the variety of suppliers. ‘Not having the anchor piece in each room made by the same people works wonders,’ he says.

‘At ND Studios, our focus is to create homes that are a true reflection of our clients,’ says founder and director Natascha Dartnall. ‘This often involves incorporating items that hold meaning to the client and making them work within the scheme.’ 

Alexander Díaz Andersson, founder and design director at furniture design studio ATRA, often takes a similar approach. He enjoys telling the owner’s life story through furniture inherited throughout their life, ‘all connected with a certain taste and aesthetic, yet disconnected in their provenance and craftsmanship.’ Each piece tells a story, imbuing the space with narrative and character.

How do I co-ordinate 'un-matching' furniture?

Matching furniture is a firm no-no. So, how can we combine individual pieces to create a cohesive living room setup? For Michelle, the trick is to make sure ‘the scale of the pieces work together, and the fabrics and textures are complimentary.’ She also suggests using living room wall art and home accessories to create a sense of continuity and cohesion. For example, a rug can beautifully tie a scheme together through color and style and define zones in an open-plan space.

Natascha agrees, ‘even if the furniture doesn’t match, a fluid color palette will help to pull everything together.’ Rather than buying new, Natascha recommends using what you already have and reupholstering items with a more appropriate fabric choice. ‘Not only does this save you buying something new, but it also saves your existing piece from going to landfill!’ she adds.

For furniture designer Alexander, ‘it’s not only about the obvious: the color and material, but also the construction of the furniture pieces, like the joinery, the thickness of the wood, and the finishes,’ he says. ‘Decor is like a language, an alphabet… so, like with a language, all these elements will give some sense to the room.’ 

Get the balance right

For Christian, it’s all about balance and ‘adding as much depth as possible with various finishes, materials, and styles.’ If you already own a mishmash of furniture and want to refine your selection to create a cohesive eclectic style, Christian suggests you follow one simple rule: ‘get rid of one, keep one, and reupholster one.’ ‘There’s no room for sentimentality if a room isn’t working. One needs to be able to edit,’ he adds. 

So, it’s out with the old and in with the new. ‘When I shop, I tend to shop for opposites,’ says Christian. ‘For example, if I have a fully upholstered armchair on one side of the room, the next set I buy needs to be entirely different. So maybe with wooden arms and a different type of fabric. Opposites attract.’

Mix the old with the new

Christian takes a different approach when starting from a blank slate while maintaining his steady rule of three. Shop for ‘something masculine, something feminine, and something vintage… (or just something that looks old.),’ he says. ‘Ultimately what this menage à trois does is provide balance… which is the key to preventing your space from feeling like a suite,’ explains Christian. Could this be the holy trinity of interior design and the answer to our cohesive living room prayers? 

‘Shopping in this grouping of three means that you eliminate the risk of all your pieces having the same personality, which is a risk you run when buying everything new over a short space of time,’ continues Christian. ‘It will also help you to pause and investigate the pieces a little more carefully before you buy.’ We’re all for conscious consumerism. 

For Natascha, this eclectic approach is the key to bringing interest and personality to a space. ‘I prefer to add character and tell a story within the home by decorating with antique and modern pieces,’ she says. Michelle agrees and creates cohesion between the old and the new by ‘mixing different textures in the same color hues.’
 

Focus on scale, proportion and layout

Scale and proportion are integral to a cohesive design. ‘If you start shopping for a room without a floor plan, you're going to fail,’ asserts Christian. Before shopping, you need to know what size furniture you’re looking for. ‘Not only will this limit options, but a well laid out room, regardless of style, is half the battle won,’ says Christian. 

Alexander agrees, ‘living rooms are to entertain your friends, family, and lovers, and depending on if you’re doing it right or wrong, you can have the most fantastic time or an awkward evening,’ he says. ‘A comfortable sofa facing a pair of armchairs and soft lighting should be the priority. Good music and good wine are a must too!’
