Most people wait until ‘later’ to buy a new lounge suite, recliner chair, or dining table set – but the end of year Christmas & New Year period is actually one of the smartest times of year to invest in big ticket furniture. Here’s why.
Holiday Sales mean Serious Savings
Retailers often offer their biggest discounts of the year during November, December and January. Competition among retailers is high during Black Friday sales of November, the Cyber Monday deals that follow and the Christmas shopping rush, so many chains are preparing their ranges and stock levels for the New Year ahead.
After Christmas, stores will be focused on clearing older stock to make way for new shipments – plus they’re looking to start the calendar year with strong sales momentum and avoid having a ‘dip’ after the shopping period.
The chances of finding premium furniture at reduced prices are higher now than almost any other time of year.
New Year = Fresh Start at Home
Home comfort becomes a priority again after the holiday season. January is when most people return home from going away over the end of year break, setting both personal and home improvement goals.
If you’ve had many guests over the holiday period, you might have identified a need for more seats at the dining table or an area in the lounge where a guest sofa or recliner chair would be a great fit.
Retailers recognise these needs, and in addition to the holiday sales, you may be more likely to see bundle deals on dining and lounge suite sets in the beginning of the year.

Savy shoppers who are ahead of the trends will find new models and designs are arriving at the beginning of the year – the best time to refresh living areas and update dated styles in the home.
