November 27, 2021 Off By Mary Frances Knapp

There are a select few things in life that make us feel like richer, more erudite dudes—silk pillowcases, Maldon salt, access to an ex’s HBO Max subscription—with West Elm decor sitting firmly atop that list. Back in the Before Times of walking around malls and slamming hot Mrs. Fields cookies, stepping beyond the HomeGoods linen and tobacco leaf candle-scented entry was akin to ascending to Level 9 of aesthetic ambrosia. And as we continue to surf the web for the best Black Friday deals, we’re making a whopper of a pit stop to find the best West Elm Black Friday deals for you, so you can turn whatever blueprint for a 1978-inspired kitchen you have bookmarked in Instagram into reality.

The Best West Elm Black Friday Furniture Deals

A mid-century dining table

Is it a Noguchi? A Probber? Nope, but your guests will be fooled by this walnut-finished, mid-century style dining wooden table, which creates such a versatile yet statement-making silhouette; it’s bold but warm, graphic but cozy, and it’s one of our editor’s favorite Black Friday deals picks

Embrace the power of a versatile ottoman

It’s a coffee table, it’s a seat, it’s an extension for your couch upon which you can fully, comfortably extend those legs during movie night. People sleep on the ottoman—seriously, you could curl up on this big boi—but it’s one of the wisest additions you could make to your living room space. Think of how chic this leather slab will look in your home. 

It’s finally time for a bedframe

Congrats, Brad. You’ve sprouted legs to go with that hot tadpole body, and made the evolutionary step towards owning a real, adult-worthy bed frame like the “Camilla,” which is made of solid pine and has the kind of plush headboard we thought only existed on Desperate Housewives.

A couch for under $1,000

Hell yeah, brother. Now this is the kind of Black Friday moment we’re talking about [plates gabagool]; the kind that gives us a Don Draper-worthy couch with trestle-style legs for under $1,000. 

The Best West Elm Black Friday Rug Deals

A wooly Moroccan-style rug

This fluffer takes inspiration from traditional Moroccan rugs, and it’s one of our favorites because the wool material makes it a soft yet durable choice, and it’s perfect for parts of the home that get a lot of foot or paw traffic.  

You crave patterns (but you’re afraid of patterns)

Understandable. No one wants to feel tied down, man, and a pattern can be a big commitment to a certain aesthetic. Unless, that is, you cop a rug like this that has a slightly faded, monochrome take on an intricate design.

You’ve been to Joshua Tree

We know, we know—you gotta smoke one under the yucca palms to understand. Or you could just vibe out with the earthy Tetris pyramids on this rug from the comfort of your home. Save $42 on it right now.

The Best West Elm Black Friday Bedding Deals

Your honey velvet bedchamber awaits

ICYMI, mustard and honey-hued bedding is having a moment. Can you imagine getting cradled by these warm, yolky shades of velvet sunshine before night-night time? They’re inviting, horny, and perfect for winter or anyone whose home aesthetic is 1970s LARPing. Save $150 on the set during Black Friday weekend.

The sheets that feel like your comfiest T-shirt

If you’re still sleeping on crappy, pilling, poly-blend sheets that you got in Target in 2013… why??? Stop. No. Upgrade to linen, sateen, or percale, and even better if they’re jersey, which is a great affordable weave. We love the ultra-soft feel and low-maintenance vibe of this cloud-like set, which is on sale in a bunch of neutral colors.

Faux fur throws rock

You know that scene in The Revenant where Leo curls up in a faux chinchilla fur throw, sips his CBD night night tincture, and calls it a day? Yeahhhhh. 

Replace that navy, jersey bedding with this

Please, Brad. You’ve found the perfect bed frame to get those sweet, sk8r boi cheeks off the floor, but now you have to finish the job with some Very Good Bedding. We firmly believe that stretch jersey fabric should only be used for experimental theater acrobats, but we also understand your need for a deep-blue color scheme. This set fits the bill perfectly, and has just the right amount of light cross-stitching. The king-sized duvet cover is currently $80 off.

The Best West Elm Black Friday Lighting Deals

A forever mushroom

We could dedicate an entire article to the glory of mushroom-inspired lamps, from Art Nouveau models to futuristic mid-century designs made of Italian glass. This ribbed shroomy comes in four different colors, and looks just as good turned off as it does when it’s switched on—and you know this baby is switched on [rips bong]. 

This belongs in Troye Sivan’s Architectural Digest tour

Have you seen the AD tour of the singer’s home? It’s amazing. It’s also populated by delicate, slightly alien-looking paper and Noguchi lamps for which this pendant light is an excellent dupe. 

Your home is your Acropolis

It’s an unseasonably balmy winter night as your dinner guests arrive for your bacchanal, their nude bodies drenched in Brightland olive oil as you illuminate a golden lamp shinier than the chariot of Helios himself. You are perfect, but not as perfect as this pillar.

Versatile vases

Mix and match them, use them for every season and every reason. Perfect for buds, fronds, and crazy straws.

Get that monstera off the floor

Can you stand it? Yes, you can. These spun metal plant stands will help turn your quarantine babies into larger focal points in the room, while the rattan ones will make a nod to your crunchy, Phish head past.

The Best West Elm Black Friday Holiday Decor Deals

A tree skirt that’s not a sheet

There’s nothing wrong with the old sheet-as-a-tree-skirt move, but it kind of sucks to be out of a sheet (and to cover that sheet in sap)—and isn’t it so much nicer to get a stylish skirt? One that shows the tree a little respect? It didn’t grow for five years just to stare at Brad’s crusty top sheet during its swan song. Have a little ceremony. 

You never stop thinking about hot dogs

Same. So why not deck out your tree in wieners, and forgeo the traditional Christmas ornaments? After all, have you ever seen what a Biblically accurate angel looks like? Terrifying.  

This leggy boi

This Mid-Century 6-Drawer Dresser will tie your room together—we promise. It’s what you’ve been missing, it’s what you need, and it’s over $100 off for Black Friday.

Happy West Elming—and please let us crash on that couch after fondue night?
