Shop After Christmas and Post-Holiday Sales Like a Home Decor Pro With These Designer Picks, Starting at Just $7
The shopping fun doesn’t have to end after all of the presents for the season are unwrapped. In fact, as you probably already know, the day after Christmas is an excellent time to scout post-holiday sales to stock up on seasonal decor, appliances, and home accents, after all!
I asked seven design enthusiasts to share what they’re hoping to score for a discount this year, and here’s what made that list.
Felt Scarf Animal Ornaments
“In my experience, things like hand-crafted ornaments or tabletop decor typically have the best markdowns. I always appreciate myself the next year when I unpack new things I forgot I purchased. It’s like an early Christmas each year! It’s also a nice time to buy more delicate items because they come carefully packaged, allowing you to easily stick them in a bin for next year.” —Instagrammer Katelyn Sailor of Katelyn Sailor
Buy: Felt Scarf Animal Ornaments, $12.00 $6.00 from West Elm
Julian Wool Ivory Area Rug
“I’m currently on the hunt for a new area rug for our living room. I need a larger size, would love wool, and something unique — all things that make this purchase even more expensive — so a sale is a must.” —Blogger Hilary Prall of H. Prall & Co
Buy: Julian Wool Ivory Area Rug, $598.00 $339.99 from Wayfair
Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine
“I would love a Breville espresso machine to upgrade my coffee bar!” —Designer Dana Dyson of Donlena Design
Buy: Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine, $749.95 from Williams-Sonoma
5-Arm Classic Chandelier Polished Gold
“Personally, I’m looking for a new rug in my living room and a dining room chandelier. Switching out lighting can make a big difference on a small budget.” —Designer Amy Vroom of The Residency Bureau
Buy: 5-Arm Classic Chandelier Polished Gold, $159.99 $129.99 from Amazon
5 Piece Place Setting Pacifica
“I think holiday sales are the best time to take advantage of items that most retailers seldom mark down, like cookware, serveware, dinner plates, and flatware. I have my eye on Casafina Stoneware, which is so simple and pretty and can easily be dressed up or down.” —Designer Laura Hur of Lorla Studio
Buy: Casafina 5 Piece Place Setting Pacifica, $93.00 for 5 pieces from Lulu and Georgia
Outsider Art “Cake” Giclee Print
“Chairish has announced they’re having their last big sale of the year starting December 26. I’ve had my eye on some artwork that I just haven’t been able to decide upon and am hoping it will be one of the popular items they discount.” —Instagrammer Sara Raak of Sara Raak
Buy: Outsider Art “Cake” Giclee Print, $80.00 from Chairish
Christmas Tree Farm Stone Wrapping Paper
“I like to get high quality gift wrap from places like Paper Source; these gift wrap rolls are usually upwards of $10 a roll, so I love snagging classic patterns on sale and then saving them for next season to wrap gifts, frame as artwork to make my gallery walls festive, and more.” —Blogger Kate Dreyer of Kate Decorates
Buy: Christmas Tree Farm Stone Wrapping Paper, $10.50 from Paper Source.
