Including what to buy.
We’ve all spent time staring at a room in our home, thinking of the infinite ways we could redecorate or rearrange it. New bedding injects color into a bland room, bright pots and pans automatically make cooking more fun, and a new rug totally transforms a space. All of those home upgrades sound great, but they also cost a lot of money. How can we refresh our living spaces on a budget without sacrificing quality?
If you identify with this conundrum, you’ll be happy to hear that Wayfair’s Way Day sale is here. The event is one of the retailer’s biggest sales of the year, granting us deals and discounts on more than a thousand items in categories that include fancy hybrid mattresses, high-end appliances, trendy home décor, and more.
To set you up for success, we’re divulging all the details we know about Way Day 2024.
What is Wayfair’s Way Day Sale?
In 2018, Wayfair launched its blowout sale day, akin to Amazon Prime Day. It was so successful, it’s now an annual event that we look forward to every year. It originally started as a 24-hour sale (hence the name Way Day) but has since been expanded into three days due to its popularity, that way more people could scoop up savings on their favorite products. Wayfair claims that Way Day deals are “better than Black Friday,” thanks to the incredibly low prices in every category and free shipping.
When is Wayfair’s Way Day 2024?
This year, Way Day will take place October 5 through 7, which is one day longer than the big sale they had this summer.
What brands will be included in the sale?
A large chunk of Wayfair’s offerings will be on sale, including everything from tiny decorations to big furniture. In May 2024, discounts reached up to 80 percent off regular prices, so we expect to see the same energy for this sale.
Is Wayfair not your style? Thankfully, it has three sister brands — Joss & Main, AllModern, and Birch Lane — that will also host epic markdowns. You’re bound to find pieces that fit your aesthetic.

The subtle geometric pattern adds visual interest without feeling busy, and it comes in both cream and blue.
Hertford Upholstered Linen Blend Accent Chair

$384 (60% off)
Finding an accent chair that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg is surprisingly difficult, which is why we were stunned to see this one on sale for less than $200.

World Menagerie Giacinto Olive Green Rug
Wayfair
$80 52% off
If a hand-knotted, organic wool area rug is out of your price range, you’re not alone. While we’d love to source stunning rugs from Morocco and beyond, it’s not always practical or affordable, which is why we were so excited to see this olive green stunner on sale. It has all the charm of a vintage rug, but it’s made from easy-to-vacuum, stain-resistant fabric that’ll stand up to years of foot traffic.
Ebern Designs Chelsea Upholstered Sofa

Always read reviews and always measure your space to make sure whatever you get is a perfect fit. This tufted marvel receives great reviews from purchasers who say it’s comfy yet supportive, easy to clean, and simple to put together. It comes in four different colors, too.
Laurel Foundry Fir Potting Bench

$145 (40% off)
Planting seedlings and starters in small pots can be rough on your knees and back, which is why we recommend a potting bench to make the endeavor less painful. This one is made from solid wood, has an easily wipeable metal potting surface, and even has convenient hooks on the side to keep your gloves, small spade, or shears close at hand.
Mercury Row Yarber Solid Dresser
Wayfair
$689 (48% off)
Treat this sale as an opportunity to upgrade a dresser with creaky drawers and broken knobs. We’re eyeing this six-drawer piece because it’s somehow roomy, handsome, and affordable. Even better? Buyers consistently say that assembly is as easy and breezy as can be.
Kelly Clarkson Home Cleo Velvet Upholstered Platform Bed
Wayfair
$740 (76% off)
Want to feel like royalty as you fall sleep? It’s time for you to hop on the velvet wingback bed trend. As one happy buyer writes, “I’ve bought no less than five bed frames since moving to the U.S. and I can say that this bed frame is easily the best one yet. The quality is amazing. It feels very solid and stable. The fabric is also perfect. If I could give 10 out of 5 stars, I would.”
