Design snobs may scoff, but Wayfair’s Way Day sale—the retailer’s annual sales event—really is an excellent time to find deep discounts on stylish furniture and decor. The sale, which runs May 4 through May 6, includes deals of up to 80% off on items across all types of home goods, like living space accents and furniture, small space-friendly desks, kitchen appliances, and even some very timely outdoor furniture. Plus, the sale extends to Wayfair’s sister sites, AllModern, Joss & Main, and Birch Lane, so there’s a lot of design-forward discounts to browse during this pre-Memorial Day period, think of it as a chill Black friday.
This year we’ve decided to blend sure things with a bit of wishful thinking. We’ll start with the best of what we know is on sale and move into finds we hope will get a discount, but are worth your while even at full price. We’ve put together a list of the very best furniture, textiles, decor, and more—all of which ship for free.
Top Picks:
If you have the space for a swinging porch, consider this your sign to get one. Made of a propriety material that uses recycled milk jugs and detergent bottles, this swing is easy to clean and will hold up to the elements.
Finding the right patio furniture for your budget can be a struggle—this charming set includes two(!) loveseats and two(!) tables so you’re getting a lot of bang for your buck.
Is there anything more summery than a bright yellow Adirondack chair? The answer is clearly no. Make hay while the sun shines and grab this sweet little number while it is on sale.
Perfect for a smaller outdoor space or anyone who wants a cozy seating option, this loveseat is made out of durable acacia wood and topped with comfy cushions.
It doesn’t get more classic than a Le Creuset dutch oven. A true kitchen investment piece, buy it now while its on sale and keep it forever. Your grandkids will thank you.
Whether your upgrading your old discolored baking sheets or just want to add a few more sizes to your collection, this set is a great grab. With a half sheet jelly roll pan and two smaller sizes, you’ll be able to roast, toast, and bake perfect proportions.
The backbone of any good kitchen is a strong cookware set. This Stainless steel bundle from Tramontina has all of the basics, and then some—with a dutch oven, sauce pan, two different sized frying pans and lids for them all, you can set yourself up for culinary success in one fell swoop.
Lodge’s cast iron can’t be beat, and this pre-seasoned griddle brings the even cooking of a cast iron pan to a new dimension. One side is a griddle and one side is a grill pan so you’ll be able to cook everything from meat to pancakes.
KitchenAid’s chef-approved tilt-head stand mixer is always a worthy splurge—even more so when it’s on sale. It can mix up to eight dozen cookies in a single batch (perfect for the upcoming holidays), and it has 10 different speeds to knead, shred, whip, and more.
If you’re short on counter space, KitchenAid’s hand mixer is also on sale—the cheapest we’ve seen it online in a while. With five speeds and two turbo beater accessories, it can whip up everything from mashed potatoes to pillowy meringues.
Food processors, like this top-rated one from Cuisinart, are excellent for making salsas, soups, and sauces with minimal effort. It’s the “perfect size for my small kitchen, but it packs a big punch,” writes one reviewer.
The double-reactive glaze on this stoneware dinnerware set creates a unique finish on each piece, meaning you might very well be able to pass them off as handmade. (Souvenirs from a trip to Portugal, perhaps?)

Now’s your chance to enjoy a discount on a cordless robot vacuum from iRobot. AD features editor Nick Mafi calls the brand’s models “particularly great” for all users, but especially nice for anyone who likes to host on the fly.
As the weather heats up and pollen becomes plentiful, keep your space comfortable with this powerful air purifier/fan combo. The Autoreact senses and draws in pollutants and keeps you updated on the airquality with its LED screen.
This recently made our list of the best beach chairs, walking away as the top pick for most comfortable chair on the list. And it’s easy to see why, the cool green padding and reclining feature are perfect for a sunny nap on the beach.
Whether you’re working from home all of the time, some of the time, or just want a comfy spot to journal, this small and attractive desk is one of our all-time faves. Modern and neutral it can work in a variety of spaces and with a variety of styles.
Ideal for back, side, and even stomach sleepers, this top-rated Tempur-Cloud pillow is filled with adaptive memory foam that returns to its original shape after each use. (“It offers just the right amount of softness and support,” a five-star review reads.) Plus, it has a removable cover that’s machine washable.
Jute rugs are beloved by interior designers for their durability, design versatility, and resistance to stains. (There’s one in Erin Wasson’s living room, for instance, and in just about every one of these cozy New England homes.) This one comes in a wide range of colors and sizes, but we’re partial to the chocolate brown and natural jute (shown).
We didn’t see this Way Day deal coming. Here’s a convincing (albeit wall-sized) dupe for that Anthropologie floor mirror. (Plus, the mantel version is on sale too.)
Pair the above with this William Morris–inspired peel-and-stick wallpaper, ideal for a hallway or powder bath. Reviewers assure it’s “gorgeous” in person and easy to install.
We’re big fans of sateen sheets, which offer a crisp, cool feel that’s still easy to launder. This deeply discounted set comes with everything you need to make your bed, including a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, and two pillow cases.
While some may be skeptical of buying an on-sale sofa sight unseen, the reviewer images of this one really do speak for themselves. The cotton-blend velvet appears especially luxe, and the two lumbar-size throw pillows lend the sofa a classic tailored look. “This sofa is a beautiful, rich shade of green and the velvet is soft but durable,” a reviewer writes. “I love the extra deep seating and the flexibility of the pillows for moving it around and making more space if you want to lie down and take a nap.”
An often overlooked home decor item, poufs can add extra living room seating while doubling as a laptop prop when you’re working from the couch. This reviewer-favorite is made from durable braided jute that, like the rug above, won’t show dirt or stains.
Bamboo shades are another designer go-to, and for good reason. They filter out harsh sunlight without adding bulk, and add a relaxed, textured look to bedrooms and kitchens. These come in 436(!) size options and two colorways, now starting at $77 per shade. (That’s significantly cheaper, might we add, than if you purchased a set of curtains and hardware.)
Made from natural seagrass, use these nesting baskets as a stylish way to store throws, bath accessories, or dog toys.
We think the slanted spindles offer a modern twist on these Windsor-inspired counter stools.
Tell everyone you sourced this antique textured vase—available in two versatile glazes and sizes—at a local flea market. They don’t have to know it’s from Wayfair’s biggest sale of the year.
