Interior Designer-Approved Black Friday Deals

Haocoott Resin Decorative Tissue Box Cover

“This neutral tissue cover not only looks chic, [but] it [also] has some weight to it, so when you pull a tissue out of it, you don’t take the box with it,” Mackenzie Schieck, interior designer and prop stylist at Schieck Spaces Creative Studio, says. “These are the types of things I notice I need right before the holiday when friends and family will be visiting. Little details like this really complete a room.”

Philips Hue Smart Light Bulbs Starter Kit

“Black Friday is the best moment to dive into smart lighting, and the Philips Hue starter kit is a great entrypoint,” Julian Thomas, Command Brand partner and DIY/home and lifestyle expert, explains. “The [kit lets] you fine-tune color, brightness, and scheduling, so your home can shift from ‘work mode’ to ‘cozy night in’ with a single tap. The bulbs also integrate with almost every ecosystem—Alexa, Apple, Google—so they’re great whether you’re upgrading your whole smart home setup or just starting small. They’re one of those changes you don’t realize you need until you’ve lived with them, and Black Friday makes the spend more reasonable.”

Maven Lane Luna Bar Stool

Schieck shares, “I recently bought a pair of these and am really happy with them. Counter stools can be pricey, but I didn’t want to spend a ton on ones that only get used when guests come over. These are very sturdy, [have] a sleek shape, and [are] a great value for the price.”

Command 5-Pound Large Utility Hooks

“I always recommend these for renters and small spaces,” Thomas says. “Each one holds up to five pounds, so they’re great for everyday items like coats, dog leashes, or even lightweight decor in an entryway. Because they’re damage free, you can experiment with placement and move them as your space or routines change. They’re a smart Black Friday stock-up item, since you’ll find new uses for them all year long.”

Latifolia Entryway Shoe Bench

“I love the professor-y vibes this stool/shoe rack is giving off with the green leather cushion and dark wood frame,” Schieck explains. “And I love this for a small entryway that just needs to house a few pairs of shoes at a time, and [it] provides a spot to lace up.”

Fultyle Side Table

“I’m always in search of side tables with a little extra flair, and the beaded legs on this two-shelf one are cute but not too flashy,” Schieck says. “There’s just enough space to hold a book and a cup of coffee. What more could you ask for?”

Ewsnm Roll-Up Tool Bag

“A roll-up tool bag is one of those simple organizers that instantly makes life easier, especially if you’re a DIY person or constantly fixing things around the house,” Thomas says. “This one has multiple zippered pockets that keep small tools, screws, and gadgets neatly separated so nothing rattles around or gets lost. I love that it rolls up compactly, because you can toss it in a closet, trunk, or backpack without taking up valuable space. It’s a great Black Friday find that feels ‘giftable’ for folks like new homeowners.”

Loloi Jeremiah Brent Barrow Collection Area Rug

“Loloi is one of my favorite rug brands—[it’s] stylish and affordable—so I always keep an eye on their designer collaborations,” Schieck explains. “I love this one that’s part of the Jeremiah Brent collection. [It] brings a little texture and pattern to a neutral solid [and is] a great way to add visual interest while keeping a look minimalist.”

Bebe Bask Set of 2 Scalloped Wicker Baskets

Schieck shares, “I get bored very easily from basic basket looks, so this scalloped set really jumped out at me. These are perfect for bringing some ‘lewk’ to a bathroom where there isn’t often a lot of room or opportunity to do so. Snap these up before they’re gone—these are special!”

Command Small Clear Wire Toggle Hooks

“These small clear wire hooks are perfect for the tiny-but-important things that usually end up in a junk drawer,” Thomas explains. “Each hook holds up to half a pound, and the clear design practically disappears against the wall, so they’re ideal when you want function without visual clutter. I like using them inside closets or on the side of furniture to create ‘mini stations’ for everyday grab-and-go items.”

Xzhgcee Amber Glass Hanging Lamp

“I love vintage touches here and there, and this glass pendant light has such a beautiful shape and color,” Schieck says. “This would look really sweet over a small side table or mixed in with a gallery wall [for] a perfect little pop of amber light.”

Bedsure Cotton Duvet Cover

Schieck has owned this duvet cover for two years and loves it. “The waffle weave texture feels cozy and worn but is great quality and has held up beautifully,” she adds. “I also love how the texture gives the illusion of a pattern while still being a calming solid.”

Yankee Candle Lemon Lavender Scented Candle

Thomas recommends grabbing home fragrances, such as this Yankee Candle. “Candles are one of the sneaky ‘best-value’ Black Friday buys because retailers can offer deeper discounts on them without cutting quality. And when it’s a well-known brand like Yankee Candle, the discount becomes even more valuable. Black Friday is a great time to stock up so you always have one on hand for guests or gifting,” he adds. 

Patdrea Decorative Ruffled Throw Pillow Covers

“If you’re looking for a pillow cover that has a little something extra but without a pattern, these two-toned ruffled beauties are a great choice,” Schieck says. “Reviewers call out the high quality, and I really like how the colors are a bit muted for a soft look.”

Woho Amber Taper Candle Holders

“These candle holders will look great on a Thanksgiving [or holiday] table and beyond,” Schieck says. “The amber color feels close to a classic brass, but the shape and glass material make it feel more modern. I also love how light refracts through the ribbed texture.”
