Up to 80% Off Area Rugs

PSA: Rugs should never be an afterthought in your home. A good area rug has the power to bring a pop of color, dampen sound and divide your space into what feels like separate rooms. (Without an anchoring area rug underneath, those two chairs facing each other just feel random). Now's the time to scoop up a few new rugs to give your floor a little finesse. During Black Friday at Wayfair, save on big colorful printed numbers for your living room, marshmallow-y, fluffy rugs for your bedroom (gotta keep those toes warm in the morning) and perfectly portioned runners that'll add life to that high-traffic sliver of space between your kitchen island and countertop.

Standout Deal: Mistana Hillsby Oriental Indoor Rug

If you're someone who's drawn to maximalism in the home, a bright, patterned rug like this one is probably at the top of your decor wish list. It comes in over 30(!) different shapes and sizes to suit your space. We're crushing hard on any of the classic rectangle versions, which would totally make a cloud-like white couch pop when rolled out underneath.

Up to 70% Off Bedding

Whether it's just getting a little threadbare or there's still a vague stain from when your Trader Joe's chocolate lava cake took a tumble, your bedding probably could use an upgrade. Lucky for you, Wayfair is offering super-deep discounts on all things bedding, from duvets, to quilts, to all the linens you can imagine. And even if you're into your current comforter, it can be fun to swap it out seasonally or have an extra on hand. Or honestly, just embrace the Scandinavian sleep method and have separate bedding from your partner (would highly recommend it if they're a blanket bandit).

Standout Deal: Madison Park Tuscany Scalloped Edge Quilt Set

This bedding set is the perfect combo of classic and whimsical, with a clean silhouette that gives just enough interest with a sweet scalloped edge. Available in six different colorways (including three shades of white and beige for the neutrals enthusiasts out there), the set includes two pillow shams and the ultra-cozy quilt. If you snag it at a discount, please do a cinematic swan dive onto your bed on our behalf once it's all set up.

Up to 65% Off Mattresses & More

A mattress is important—it's truly what makes or breaks your sleep, other than your partner touching you with their chilly toes. And just as they're really important, they're often really expensive. Black Friday is the perfect time to upgrade this big-ticket item without emptying your wallet, especially when Wayfair is offering many options from their in-house line and other popular brands for a significant discount.

Standout Deal: ComforPedic From Beautyrest 14'' Medium Charcoal Infused Gel Memory Foam Mattress

This mattress has everything: cooling technology, breathable construction, moisture-wicking properties and low motion transfer (that means you won't get jostled if you have a partner that flips while they sleep like a human pancake). Plus, the memory-foam top means you'll drift off cradled and cozy. Bonus: Wayfair offers in-home delivery, so you won't break your back trying to haul this baby up your stairs.

Up to 60% Off Mirrors & Decor

If your home was a wedding cake, the finishes and furniture are the scrumptious sponge, while the eye-catching bits and bobs of decor are the buttercream roses and icing garlands. Even just a few well-placed pieces can do wonders to make a room feel more thoughtful and intentional (and make it look like someone actually lives there). Black Friday is a great time to stock up on these goodies, because even though they're not always costly alone, the $$$ can seriously add up when you're trying to decorate an entire room. So go ahead, fill up that cart with a decor haul and don't feel bad about it.

Standout Deal: Kelly Clarkson Home Lucie Flat Wall Mirror

As you probably know as a home-decor savant, wiggles are in. This wavy accent mirror strikes the ideal balance between trendy and timeless, and it can blend into modern and traditional spaces alike. It's truly a focal point when positioned over an entryway table or fireplace mantle, rather than just something that reflects all of your other wonderful decor finds on its surface. Available in four colors.

Up to 50% Off Small Appliances

Just because they're called "small appliances" doesn't mean equipping your home—and, mostly, your kitchen—with all of the necessary gadgets is an inexpensive ordeal. What's more, there are probably a few new gizmos you and your partner covet, whether you're in the phase when your wedding (and therefore, your wedding registry) has been long over or whether the only diamond-shiny thing in your lives right now is an apartment key. Wayfair is offering some serious savings on everything from air fryers, to toasters, to vacuums, so you're bound to find what you need at a price you love.

Standout Deal: KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer

Ahh, the KitchenAid stand mixer. This appliance is one of our wedding registry MVPs—and for good reason. It can handle kitchen tasks that range from kneading dense bread doughs to whipping up airy egg whites, thanks to its 10 different speeds, large capacity and myriad attachments. Not to mention: Each hue that this appliance is available in feels plucked from a vintage candy store.

Up to 65% Off Tableware

If your dinner plates don't match, raise your hand. While that's totally okay, a matching set can make your dining table feel pulled together, even if you're just noshing on some weeknight pasta. If you and your love are already hitched, you might have some stunning wedding china that feels a little too delicate to break out for taco Tuesday but too unthematic for your next holiday party, but Black Friday is a great chance to score a set for everyday eating or holiday entertaining. Plus, it gives you the budget wiggle room to splurge on a larger set or some fun specialty items you might usually forgo, because while drinking your whiskey cocktail out of a juice glass gets the job done, a new set of rocks glasses feels much sexier.

Standout Deal: Lenox Holiday Dinner Plates (Set of 6)

We know Thanksgiving is probably on the brain, but the winter holidays will be here before you know it—and with them come more entertaining opportunities. Ensure your table feels festive by decking it out with these pretty holly-adorned plates as you deck the halls. Lenox is a beloved, high-end brand that's a score to get on sale, and this set of six dinner plates feels totally timeless, with gold edges and borders of holly. Bonus: They're dishwasher safe.

Up to 60% Off TV Stands & Living Room Tables

We'll be the first ones to admit it: TVs aren't pretty. The Solution? An attractive TV stand that anchors the behemoth and adds a little visual interest, along with some welcome storage for unsightly cable boxes, internet routers and those four mysterious remotes you're too afraid to toss. Plus, Wayfair is also marking down living room tables, so now's the time to score a coffee table that can withstand daily wear and tear or the perfect skinny table to sneak behind your couch.

Standout Deal: Mercury Row Bria 58'' Media Console

This mid-century media console looks chic and high quality. It features the angled, tapered legs and rounded corners that are iconic to the style as well as a rich walnut finish. The inner shelf spans the entire piece, while the slat-covered sliding doors allow you to tuck away your speakers without compromising sound quality.

Up to 55% Off Seasonal Decor

Deck the halls without breaking the bank. Seasonal decor can add up quickly (you have to make your entire home a winter wonderland, after all), so take advantage of some Black Friday savings at Wayfair to feel extra merry and bright. Get pre-lit Christmas trees, wreaths, garlands, menorahs, and cute deer and snowmen for your front yard to make yours the most festive house on the block.

Standout Deal: The Holiday Aisle North Valley Spruce Tree with Clear Lights

Not having to fuss with errant pine needles, tangled lights or strapping a full-on tree to the roof of your sedan feels like a win in our book. This faux Christmas tree makes things so easy: It comes set up with lights and a stand, plus it has that perfect fluffy triangle tree shape with just enough variation in the branch length to look natural. Though, this editor will most definitely be scooping up this pastel pink version.

Up to 65% Off Bedroom Furniture

Black Friday is the perfect opportunity to turn your just-okay bedroom into a hotel-level oasis. Upgrade your bed to something extra luxurious, scoop up a pair of dressers that actually fit your WFH crewneck sweatshirt collection or a pair of nightstands that'll accommodate you and your love's respective to-read piles of books. These big-ticket items often come with big-ticket prices, so they're perfect candidates for your sale-time wish list.

Standout Deal: Joss & Main Tilly Upholstered Bed

You've heard of the Nancy Meyers kitchen, may we present: the Nancy Meyers bedroom. This classic linen-upholstered bed gives coastal-grandma elegance. The high back and wingback chair-like sides add just the right amount of traditional without feeling stuffy, while the over 60 (yes, actually) colors ensure it will suit your space. (Though, we suggest the cream and beige hues to get that Diane Keaton in Something's Gotta Give vibe.)

Up to 60% Off Living Room Seating

It's the hub of your home, your movie-night spot, your nap haven and—sometimes—your extra-comfy workspace. Your living room sees a lot on the daily, so maybe you should treat it to some fresh furniture pieces this sale season. Save on couches, accent chairs, love seats, sectionals, ottomans and even recliners, if you're down to pay homage to Joey and Chandler's iconic BarcaLounger setup in "Friends."

Standout Deal: Mercury Row Perdue 81.5" Velvet Square Arm Convertible Sofa

This editor believes that everyone should have a velvet sofa. And this one would suit nearly anyone's home decor aesthetic.

Select between 10 rich hues.
