I'm the first person to admit that I have champagne taste on a lemonade budget. And because I'm mid-renovating, that budget is getting spread even thinner.
So, as a shopping editor with a lot of patience, I knew that the Black Friday home deals were truly my time to shine. And with Cyber Monday following suit with some really impressive deals, now is one of the best times of year for scoring big deals on big-ticket items like furniture, particularly when all your money has been allocated to boring things like plastering.
From sofas to beds and stylish accent chairs to side tables, finding pieces that tug on your heartstrings while your purse strings remain firmly tightened is a hard task.
So in honor of everything kicking off today, I'm making the most of this year's Black Friday and Cyber Monday furniture deals to check off my furniture shopping wishlist, and I'm taking you along for the ride too.
The best Cyber Monday furniture deals I'm personally shopping today
With my home renovation in full swing, I’m taking a strategic and very sensible approach to these sales (if I do say so myself). My best advice is to ask yourself before checking out – do I need it and can I afford it – remember, it is not a saving if you don't love it at full price and weren't going to buy that item (be that a bed or chair) either way.
If you’re also planning to shop furniture deals today on Cyber Monday, I’ve rounded up some of the best the sales have to offer to help you transform your space without breaking the bank. Here are my favorite budget-friendly finds.
Shop 12 Cyber Monday furniture deals
This cute and compact bobbin-style nightstand would fit perfectly into my small bedroom. There's just one drawer, but it's deep enough to hold a phone, book, glasses, and any stray hairbands.
I personally think a bedframe should be of the timeless variety, able to adapt to any style should the redecorating mood strike. This natural cord-wrapped bed from McGee & Co. is reduced by a whopping 60% in the sale.
I'm also on the hunt for a compact, but still beautiful, desk for WFH days. This streamlined writing desk will make a stylish addition to my home office that doubles as a guest bedroom.
Shopping for really trend-led pieces can often cost you in the long run, but this skirted ottoman feels so timeless and is $100 off so I'm willing to take the risk on this accent piece to make a statement.
Honestly, I'm really impressed by this pantry from Walmart. With oodles of storage, this will help me to create a more custom look in my kitchen thanks to the freestanding nature. I might even give it a lick of paint, too.
Made with a marble top sourced from a quarry in India, this side table looks so much more expensive than it is. I'll be placing it beside my couch in the living room for an elegant spot to place my cocoa this Christmas.
Granted this is more of an expensive buy, but I've had my sights set on the fringed accent chair from Lulu & Georgia since they launched. While I have my sights set on the pattern fabrics you can choose from, I might stick to neutrals to ensure longevity.
Burl wood is another hot topic this year, and thanks to Kelly Clarkson Home's edit, I'll be snapping this round coffee table up for a much more comfortable price than if I bought antique burl wood.
Counter stools can get quite expensive, particularly if you have a large kitchen island to furnish. This discounted Serena & Lily stool is shown here in the Blue Bell shade but you can also pick from white, black, sage, and olive green.
The discount really depends on the configuration, size, and fabric choice you make here but this York slipcovered sofa from Pottery Barn is worth seeking out in the sales. Family-friendly, it has a timeless silhouette with plush pillows and deep seats.
I can't decide whether I want this for the foot of my bed or in my entryway, but I do know I want it. Designed with Studio McGee, this woven bench from Target looks and feels so expensive thanks to its textured charm.
I'm a big fan of upholstered dining chairs. Yes, they might not be the most practical but I want to be in comfort while I sit down to eat, and the Laurie chairs from McGee & Co. offer just that plus a subtle addition of print.
Investing in quality furniture during big sale events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday ensures your budget goes so much further. It's that age-old testament, if you spend cheap you'll spend twice, so shopping for really great pieces means you'll likely love it for longer. If you’re also looking to refresh your space, I hope this roundup of the best deals has inspired you to start shopping smart.
