While the Black Friday weekend may conjure images of panic buying Christmas gifts, it’s also a great time to invest in some new homewares ahead of the holiday season. After all, the time of the year between the end of summer and the beginning of Christmas always makes us reassess our houses. What works in mid-July might not be so accommodating when your home is full of guests. Those curtains that have been looking a little tired might start to really bother you when you have to draw them every evening, that rug might start to feel more brown than off-white, and that sofa? Well, that’s probably seen better days.
Luckily, there is also no better moment to pull the trigger on the new sofa bed you’ve been eyeing up or snap up a snazzy kitchen gadget such as a coffee machine, an ever-useful air fryer, a brand new mattress or a cordless vacuum cleaner. Why? Well, many retailers take part in Cyber Monday reductions which make the big purchases a little less expensive. In light of this, we have scoured the internet to find the best Black Friday offers, from our favourite online furniture shops and quality retailers we genuinely love. Scroll on for a summary of our favourite deals, FAQs and the heavily discounted products that are firmly on our wishlist.

This year, Black Friday falls on Friday 29th November. As it is traditionally an American event, it always lands on the last Friday of November following Thanksgiving, which is also when the majority of people begin their Christmas shopping.
How long do most Black Friday deals last?
Most sales and discounts will end at midnight on Cyber Monday, 2nd December, which is the Monday after Black Friday – so be quick! However, theses dates do vary from retailer to retailer, and some shops drop their prices well before Black Friday.
How to find the best Black Friday deals in 2024
While the Black Friday sale is supposed to be fun, they often become rather overwhelming. As the endless stream of sales emails land in your inbox – and you can’t get away from the barrage of ads on your social media feeds – you’d be forgiven for giving up on the whole thing. However, we’re on hand to help. This guide is designed to help you take advantage of some really great Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, where many of the prices are the lowest you’ll see all year.
What is Cyber Monday and when is it?
Most retailers take part in both Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Traditionally, Black Friday was for in-store deals in bricks and mortar shops, where Cyber Monday was for online discounts. However, the past few years have seen them rolled into one big event. Cyber Monday falls on Monday 2nd December 2024.
Best Black Friday Deals in 2024
Below, we’ve compiled an extensive list of our favourite online furniture stores taking part in Black Friday sales this year. While many retailers already have their Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals live or at least announced, some will not go live until the day, so keep an eye out for additional discounts and deals. If your favourite shop didn’t join in last year, don’t count them out for 2024’s event.
We will be updating this list as and when more deals are announced.
- 25% off site-wide with code SWEET
Home, bath and body fragrance brand NEOM are slashing prices across their site by 25%, using the promo code SWEET. Having used their products in the past, we can vouch for the long-lasting smell of their candles, made with luxurious and natural essential oils. Our seasonal pick would be their Christmas candle, with notes of mandarin, cinnamon and tonka bean for a comforting festive fragrance, which would make a perfect festive gift. For a slightly more high-tech way of making your home smell lovely, go for the Wellbeing Pod Luxe, a mains-operated, remote-controlled essential oil diffuser, designed to fill larger rooms with the fragrance of your choice.
- 20% off everything with code WHITE20
The British retailer is offering a generous discount of 20% off everything this Black Friday weekend. As well as their minimalist homeware, loungewear and scented candles, The White Company consistently rank among our favourite artificial Christmas trees, for their incredibly realistic look and sturdy quality. Many of their popular trees have now sold out, but if you’re still looking for one to take pride of place in the living room this Black Friday, their 9ft Pre-Lit Grand Spruce would be an excellent choice. If you’re looking for an easy gift or just to sample a selection of the brand’s different home fragrance products, their Winter Hamper, which comes in a reusable wicker basket, would be our recommendation.
- 5% to 25% off selected Christmas hampers and menus
