20+ best Wayfair Labor Day sales handpicked by an interior designer — up to 70% off

Must read

If you’re sad that summer is waning, I’ve got something that’s sure to cheer you up. Labor Day sales offer some of the biggest discounts you’ll see all year, making it the perfect time to give your home a pre-fall refresh. As an interior designer, Wayfair is my go-to for quick-ship items and great prices. And for Labor Day, the online furniture haven is bringing shoppers discounts of up to 70% off everything from basics like linens and cookware to larger purchases like sofas and patio sets. I even found some fun finds for fall like throw blankets, festive door mats and more.

To help you score the best deals at Wayfair’s Labor Day sale, I’ve gone through the site and picked out some of my favorites. Need a new mattress? This queen-size memory foam has 43,000 five-star reviews and is on sale for under $200 (yes, really!). If you haven’t updated your knife set in years, no worries. I found this KitchenAid option for $53 (was $135). There’s even a gorgeous velvet couch that converts to a sofa (perfect for holiday guests) for $313 — that’s 65% off. Of course, the items I’ve chosen below are only a small taste — an amuse bouche, if you will — of what’s available. Want more? You can find all of the Wayfair Labor Day sales here.

A hall tree is the ultimate way to organize your entry for fall. Hang hats, coats, bags and wraps on the hooks; use the flip-down panel to hide shoes umbrellas or whatever you fancy. Another tip: Add baskets to the top for extra storage and a throw pillow to the bench for a comfortable seat while putting on your shoes.
