Ah, homeware. Not a day goes by where I don’t think of you. And thus, my bank account sinketh for thee.
“Just gotta be strong” I tell myself as I try to ignore the little reminders: the unshelved stack of books, the floor-borne unframed artworks and the spookily tuned-in social ads.
Sometimes I spot something I just can’t look away from (shout out to my $400 mushroom lamp) and my willpower crumbles.
But there’s one time each year I feel no guilt for such losses. Quite the opposite – I wear them proudly like feathers in my cap. And that time, my friends, is Black Friday.
So here are the discounted pieces that I – and my Broadsheet colleagues are adding to our (beloved) homeware collections.
21 homeware Black Friday sales
Maison Balzac J’ai Soif teal carafe
$103 (was $130)
Yes, I could just use a water bottle, but there’s something about pouring water from a carafe into a glass that makes staying hydrated a whole experience. It’s about elevating the simple and mundane acts of every day. Am I hoping this retro teal silhouette from Maison Balzac will miraculously help me drink two litres of water a day? Most definitely.– Gitika Garg, assistant editor.
Hay Off-White and Blue Sowden juicer
$232 (was $275)
Local artisanal pastries, fresh table linen and a good book – this summer I’m romanticising the little moments in life, like breakfast. Pressed juice is a natural fit for this reverie, and this colour-block juicer by Danish concept designer Hay ranks high on my wishlist.– Simone Richardson, shopping editor.
Kinto Capsule Cold Brew carafe
$56 (was $70)
I love cold brew, but only recently started making my own at home with this Kinto carafe. I just fill it up and it makes enough cups for two coffees in the am. Plus it’s super easy to clean, which was one of my concerns about making cold brew at home.– Audrey Payne, Melbourne food and drink editor.
Bonny summer double quilt
$349 (was $399)
Sales are a good time to get those things you’ve been putting off. For me, it’s a summer doona for some light ’n’ airy relief from nights spent tossing and turning. One of my friends has a Bonny and loves it, so I’m locking it in.– Simone Richardson, shopping editor.
Bed Threads Oatmeal bedding bundle
$422 (was $660)
Thinking about how well I’ll sleep in this set is literally making me giddy. Bundled into a cocoon, cool breeze drifting in the window, perhaps woken by dappled light and a kiss on the forehead. Add to cart.– Lily Davidson, acting directory editor.
Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool Formaldehyde purifying fan
$849 (was $1149)
My inner-city apartment basically turned into a giant Gozney Roccbox last summer. If my poodle and I are going to survive another summer like it, we’ll have to ditch the chattering K-Mart pedestal fan and dole out for a sexy Dyson one, which cools and purifies the air. Woof!– Dan Cunningham, acting features editor.
Sage & Clare Mazzinni bowl
$111 (was $159)
Al fresco dinners are here. And so is the resin homeware trend. I can’t wait to host friends with aesthetic table settings this summer.– Simone Richardson, shopping editor.
Breville The Bambino coffee machine
$399 (was $449)
I love the ritual of making my morning coffee on the stovetop Mokapot – most of the time. Just not on days when I’ve snoozed a few too many alarms and spent a stupid amount of time working out my #ootd. On those mornings, I’d love a speedy little espresso, which is why I’m eyeing off Breville’s Bambino machine.– Stephanie Vigilante, head of social media.
Aura Home Evie Stonewash sheet set
$263 (was $329)
“I will not spend $350 on sheets. I will not spend $350 on sheets. I will not spend $350 on sheets,” I repeat to myself as I fall asleep each night. Hopefully, I won’t have to with the upcoming sales. I got a taste of Aura Home’s impossibly soft linen at a holiday stay recently, and I can’t stop dreaming of it. This set is high on my list.– Holly Bodeker-Smith, newsletter editor.
Paola & Joy Cora floor lamp
$429 (was $479)
This was the year that we all collectively banded together and decided we hated the harshness of “the big light”. In my lamp era, I’m looking for a floor lamp that’ll cast a decent amount of light and this chic, curvaceous floor lamp from Paola & Joy would absolutely fit the brief.– Lucy Bell Bird, national assistant editor.
Sage & Clare Amata oven mitt
$24 (was $34)
My mother-in-law recently burnt a hole in her oven mitt, this vibrant style by Sage & Clare will make the perfect Christmas present.– Simone Richardson, shopping editor.
Round House red fruit plate
$22 (was $29)
If ever there was something I could confidently put into the “dopamine decor” camp, this would be it. Fruity little drawings! On a plate! It’s the little things in life, truly.– Rashmi Mohotti, social media coordinator.
I Love Linen French Flax quilt cover
$294 (was $420)
Some of my favourite pillowcases come from I Love Linen, so I’m always ready to invest in more luxuriously soft bedding from the Queensland brand. This double-sided quilt cover is like buying two looks in one – a block colour and a stripe – so you can change it up at will, or style your bedscape with the top folded down for a peek of what’s beneath.– Jo Walker, studio editor.
Citta Cozumel beach towel
$64 (was $80)
As I look towards spending my days poolside (and horizontal), I’m thinking it’s time for an update to my outdoor towelling – and this one by Kiwi design house Citta has caught my eye. There are four colour variants, each made with soft, woven cotton for sun-soaked times ahead.– Simone Richardson, shopping editor.
Darren Palmer Chin Chin Di Rosso printed artwork
$24 (was $89)
The perfect accessory to my bar cart station. Now I can feel fancy even if my actual cocktail skills are questionable. Chin chin!– Ivana Brkic, social media performance executive.
Sheet Society Eve Linen Margot print set
$144 (was $180)
My partner and I have argued more times than I can count over the aesthetics of our bedding. Naturally, I win every time, but I’m trying to tone down the pink in our bedroom. That’s why this set is on my list – the neutral checkered pattern strikes the perfect balance (and keeps my partner happy).– Maddy Pogue, social media coordinator.
Citta Terrace vase
$119 (was $149)
One of many things I love about my inner circle is our natural tendency to flower-give. I’m ready to advance from my current glass collection and give any blooms-to-be the artistic display they deserve. This minimal, sculptural style is a collaboration between The Design Chaser and Citta and works just as well as a standalone artwork or a vessel for bouquets.– Simone Richardson, shopping editor.
Hommey Essential Linen chocolate cushion
$67 (was $89)
Each new season brings with it a fresh energy to get creative with your interiors and try different things. For me, it’s adding dark, warm hues into my living space that contrast the lighter fabrications of my sofa and rug – all while keeping it neutral, of course.– Evie Baker, photo editor.
Nespresso Breville Creatista Plus capsule coffee machine
$759 (was $949)
I’m sick of spending upwards of $5 for my almond piccolo which disappears in one sip. It’s time to invest in my (self-made) morning brew.– Ivana Brkic, social media performance executive.
Maki Rugs beige and red bullseye rug
$603 (was $670)
I’ve been admiring Maki Rugs’ mesmerising avant-garde tapestries for long enough – it’s time to cash in. Made from hand-tufted wool, this work by the Montreal-based artist is sure to bring a groovy ’60s geometric effect (and snuggle factor) to my minimalist bedroom.– Simone Richardson, shopping editor.
Ettitude Signature sateen duvet cover
$262 (was $374)
I’m on a mission to slowly build up my bed sheet collection; I dream of the day I can wrap myself in luxe, comfy sheets 365 days a year. I recently bought a set of sheets from Ettitude and they’re buttery soft. Ahead of warm summer nights, I want to add a light duvet cover into the mix.– Maggie Zhou, fashion editor.
