There’s no shortage of Labor Day furniture sales and decor deals this year: Markdowns on living room upgrades, dining furniture, and even some coveted kitchenware from AD-tested brands like Crate & Barrel, Article, Nordstrom, and more are already in full swing. With fall around the corner, we think now’s an excellent time to find deep discounts on investment pieces like a stylish new sectional, a comfortable loveseat, or something to spruce up your drab home office. It’s also worth noting that the early-bird discounts are much higher than in years past, with several retailers offering as much as 70% off bestsellers right now. Below, we’re giving you a head start on the scrolling and clicking with our editor-approved list of the best early Labor Day furniture sales that are actually worth the screen time.
Our Top Picks for the Best Labor Day Furniture Deals:
Article: Up to 60% Off
Article—a well-loved furniture brand among AD staff and readers alike—is running early promotions, with more to come leading up to the holiday weekend. It’s your chance to enjoy 25% off this modern media console with enough discreet storage to hold extra cables or even your whole record collection. Since you’ll also need a comfy couch for fall movie nights, grab this equally sleek loveseat with silver legs and soft curves.
Arhaus: Up to 50% Off
If you’re in the mood to makeover a neglected area of your home, we found a few deals within Arhaus’s current early Labor Day sale worth the splurge. Take the Calderone coffee table with enough main character potential to make the Joneses next door green with envy: [whispers] It’s 30% off right now.
Wayfair: Up to 50% Off
Planning on a major home facelift? Wayfair is celebrating the weekend with up to 50% off furniture and decor in celebration of back-to-school season. There are thousands of items to sift through, but we’d pay close attention to handsome decor upgrades like this teak armchair and this very discounted pitcher. It should also be noted that their outdoor furniture cannot be beat.
Lulu and Georgia: Up to 70% Off
We’re still waiting to see what official discounts Lulu and Georgia will be offering for Labor Day, but in the meantime, the brand’s sale section is stocked with lots of good deals. We recommend digging into the quirky decor collection—whether you’re looking for something like a statement mirror to anchor your entryway, or a hand-knotted area rug that will really tie a room together, you have plenty of options.
Crate & Barrel: Up to 60% Off
Head to Crate & Barrel, where you can save up to 60% off as part of the brand’s early Labor Day sale. We’re perusing items from AD-approved designer collaborations, of course. We can’t help but think that this Brigette Romanek-designed nightstand would look handsome in close proximity to this sculptural lamp from Athena Calderone’s capsule.
Serena & Lily: Up to 40% Off
Decorating your home with a Cape Cod cottage in mind? Serena & Lily can help in that department with their Labor Day sales promotions, offering up to 40% off coastal-inspired dining setups and other can’t-miss deals in their newly expanded clearance section.
Amazon: Up to 70% Off
The early Labor Day deals are plentiful over on Amazon, especially when it comes to cookware for all those fall recipes you’ve been accumulating through this season. The discount on this cordless Dyson is also surprisingly steep, and we know your space could use a deep-clean after the summer you’ve been having.
Castlery: Up to 50% Off Sale Picks
Spend more to save more during Castlery’s Labor Day furniture sale, which begins soon. Along with the retailer’s regular sale section, shoppers will get up to $450 off the site’s contemporary inventory. Those on the hunt for great couches would be wise to put that discount toward the Jonathan sectional, which contributor Rachel Fletcher calls a “dream” for napping and reading in her in-depth review. For now, this currently on-sale loveseat and the newly launched dining set from Tan France’s collection are more than worth your time.
West Elm: Up to $500 Off
West Elm’s sale section is not to be skipped: Furniture and home decor from every category are discounted up to 60% off. We’ve added this midcentury-modern bookshelf to our wishlist, as well as this scholarly tweed armchair with a wingback silhouette and modern lines.
McGee & Co.: Up to 70% Off
While formal Labor Day promotions haven’t quite yet revealed themselves, the charming pieces currently filling McGee & Co.’s clearance furniture section can help you style your home ahead of the incoming seasonal shift. The Bodin desk and Gilmore canopy bed—both designed in an almost identical blond wood grain—are a match made in furniture heaven and both feature steep discounts. We’d scoop up the pairing if you’re looking to makeover your bedroom before the changing of the leaves.
Pottery Barn: Up to 60% Off
Pottery Barn makes finding investment-worthy furniture and decor easier, thanks to its vast collections of traditional wares. Whether you’re trying to fill up an empty living room or freshen up your bedroom, the brand is now offering up to 60% off classic items from the latest season, meaning it's worth sifting through the clearance section for hidden gems.
Joybird: Up to 45% Off
Joybird’s best-selling line of couches is where to beeline if you really just need a new replacement to the starter sofa that’s been through too many moves. The brand is offering up to 45% off across the site on selections like the Sebastian sofa our senior digital entertainment editor Rachel Wallace describes as by far the most “supreme nap sofa” she’s ever experienced. “It is so easy to remove the back cushions, and when you do, it turns the sofa into a sort of velvet daybed with plenty of room to stretch out,” she adds. The brand’s Labor Day sale promotions also slash the original price tag on this extra comfy model by over $1,000.
