The Best Labor Day Deals on Home Goods, Art, and Cookware
September 3, 2021We never thought we’d spend as much time loafing around our apartment, glued to My Strange Addiction and learning how to bake focaccia, as we have in the past year and a half. (Well, some of us did.) But we’ve come to appreciate our homes more than ever—and to notice things that could use an upgrade. The scratched-up nonstick pans that are probably leeching Teflon into your eggs… they’ve gotta go. The falling-apart IKEA futon you’ve had since junior year of collage, and that your roommate’s cat tore to shreds… probably time to replace it. The stained-ass mattress that’s served you well through a parade of Hinge dates… it’s seen better days.
Good news: Labor Day weekend is truly the best weekend of the year to get deals on home goods, furniture, mattresses, and even wall art. Everybodyyyy is out here having a huge sale—like, hundreds of dollars in savings on big-ticket stuff from bed frames to kitchen appliances, on sites from West Elm to Wayfair, from Brooklinen to Urban Outfitters. We dug around and found all the best deals for you so that you can deck out your overpriced-but-charming railroad apartment in all of the sexy adult stuff you deserve, from velvet conversation-pit sofas to mattresses that will cool off your night sweats. Enjoy!
