Best of the Wayfair Sale (So Far)
On-Sale Sofas and Chairs
Material: Performance linen
Size: 31.1"
Wayfair is the place to look if you want a swivel chair (which, I mean, don't we all?) This one is my pick of the sales — performance linen is not only a great texture to introduce into your home, it's much more practical and durable than you'd expect. It's a super popular model on Wayfair too: over 1,000 reviews with an average of 4.7 stars out of 5? Sounds good to me.
Material: Nutbrown Boucle
Size: 88.9"
This sofa is almost undoubtedly inspired by an iconic Arflex piece called the Marenco which I love, with its oversized, pillow-like armrests. While it's on the pricier side, you can rest assured it has great reviews for comfort and style. While most of the other colorways are already sold out (told you it was popular), it is currently available in a white, gray and light brown boucle, as well as a gray velvet.
Material: Polyester
Size: 29.5'' H x 27'' W x 31'' D
A mid-century take on the classic barrel chair silhouette, this accent chair really is as beautiful as it looks — just read the reviews. While its padded seat looks extra plump, a few purchasers noted that it isn't super soft, which leads me to think this may be more of a look-at-me chair, rather than for everyday use, if you know what I mean...
On-Sale Rugs
Material: Jute / sisal
Size: 5' x 8'
Jute rugs are everywhere (and for good reason) but I like how the floral design on this one gives it a bit of a British country charm. It has been hand-woven with jute and wool fibres, and is also available in a black. Currently on sale for 60% off, it's no wonder so many sizes have already sold out — move quick.
Material: Polyester
Size: 5'3" x 7'
A white rug might be a bit of a risk, but they look great. If it's for a busy room, it's the one area I'd choose a rug like this one, made from manmade fibers, over something like wool or cotton. This off-white area rug, currently 20% off, is stain-resistant and could be the perfect choice if you want the white rug look.
Material: Jute / sisal
Size: 5' x 8'
Wayfair also sells natural material rugs, though they're a little more of an investment. However, this jute design not only delivers on laidback style, but the wiggle border also feels very on trend for now. The reviews are good - though buyers do say it needs a rug pad as it's quite slippery, however, I'd always suggest that anyways, and Wayfair does sell rug pads too.
On-Sale Lighting
Material: Ceramic and rattan
Size: 13'' H X 8'' W X 8'' D
The light blue base combined with the scalloped cotton shade of the Momsen table lamps screams ‘summer’ and ‘cottage core.’ Ideal for the upcoming season. As one of the reviewers points out, it's a great alternative to a popular Serena & Lily lamp, which costs almost $300.
Material: Rattan
Size. 17.7"
Good semi-flush lighting is actually really hard to find, yet it's a necessity in spaces with low headroom and walkthroughs like entryways and hallways. This one not only has great reviews, but it looks even better in their real life customer photos. It's a versatile style too, bohemian but modern enough to suit all kinds of interior styles.
Material: Ceramic
Size: 21'' H X 13'' W X 13'' D
A ceramic table lamp will truly never go out of style, so it makes sense to invest in this stunning gray piece from Birch Lane. For just $80, you can get one of the best table lamps on the market. While it may look like a stone-like base in the photo, the customer reviews tell us it's a bit more of a painted finish, but still a great way to bring texture to your space.
On-Sale Decor
Material: Solid wood, manufactured wood
Size: 30"
With a modern Art Deco style, this cabinet looks way more expensive that it actually is. Predominantly solid wood, and inlaid with brass, it's an accent piece that holds its own, so make it the star of your space. In general, the reviews are great, though one or two reviewers had issues with the build. I'd style is as a bar cabinet — it seems like the perfect piece for storing bottles and glasses.
Material: Terracotta
Size: 8.2"
The textured and sculpted terracotta vase is exactly the sort of decor I'm loving right now for modern, organic inspired interiors that feel authentic. As one of the reviewers calls it, it's "perfectly imperfect", so you can channel your best wabi-sabi style and bring some much needed texture to your scheme.
Material: Terracotta
Size: 11.8"
While $100 may seem a lot for a vase, for this type of terracotta pot, you're looking at $150 to $200 at the likes of Pottery Barn and CB2. Again, it's all about the texture, and this piece has it in spades. Of course, every one is different, so take a look at the customer photos before you buy so you can see the variety this design runs to ensure you're going to be happy with the end result.
FAQs
When is the next big Wayfair sale?
The second Way Day is slated for the fall, but you can certainly expect other sales between now and then. For example, we anticipate big markdowns for Fourth of July, and Labor Day, as well as the typical Black Friday discounts we've all come to know and love.
Wayfair is also currently celebrating it's Anniversary sale, offering up to 70% off on selected items, as well as free shipping.
What is Way Day?
Way Day is Wayfair's twice-annual sale that happens once in the spring and once in the fall. The spring one has just happened — it was between the 4th and 6th May this year. We don't yet know the dates for the fall sale, but it typically falls between October and November (ideally quite close to Black Friday markdowns too!), and is perfect for getting a head start on your holiday shopping.
Once we know the dates for the fall sale, we'll be sure to let you know. So bookmark this page and check back periodically for the best regular sale and best Way Day deals, once live.
What are Wayfair's Open Box Deals?
While not technically a sale event, something to always keep your eyes on if you're keen on a discount is Wayfair's Open Box Deals. All the items included in this edit are like new, they've simply been returned by customers — hence they've had their box opened.
This is a great opportunity to score some really great pieces for marked-down prices, but you have to be fast. The deals are all one-offs and don't last long.
When is Wayfair's Memorial Day sales?
The next Memorial Day falls on the 26th May, 2025. However, this year Wayfair ran a sale event over three days, called the 72 Clearout Sale on the site, so it's wise to keep and eye out for the weeks leading up to and after Memorial Day for the best markdowns and discounts.
Can anyone access the sales?
Absolutely. Wayfair's sales are accessible to anyone and everyone, so long as you're able to online shop.
