A new year is the perfect time to invest in a new couch. It's the time of year when your home has probably seen a lot of wear and tear over the holidays and hosting season and is due a refresh, and being one of the largest, most-used pieces of furniture in your house, a new couch can really change the feel of your space. I know many people say 'the kitchen is the heart of the home' but over at my place (and I bet yours too) it's actually the couch that's the star.
The post-holiday and January sales are perfect for buying investment pieces like a sofa. All H&G's favorite brands will likely be offering discounts over the coming weeks and beyond.
I've been keeping an eye out and there are plenty of furniture sales happening right now. I have flagged all my favorite picks below from the likes of Wayfair, Anthropologie, McGee & Co., and more as well as a quick list if you are all ready to get shopping.

H&G's edit of the best sofa deals
If you are looking for some shopping inspiration, these are my favorite pieces that are on sale right now. Timeless designs, good quality, and great prices.
A real transitional piece this sofa would work with any style, modern or more traditional. Slipcover sofas are having a bit of a rival with the coastal, Nancy Meyers vibe they create and Pottery Barn sells separate slipcovers too so you can switch up your look without having to buy a whole new sofa.
Slipcovered sofas have made a huge comeback this year. They really lean into that cozy, laid-back, Nancy Meyers style. This one from Wayfair is such a bargain, it has great reviews too despite that low price. And yes it's cream but the covers are removable and machine washable.
This couch is a classic piece and a great price for a quality leather sofa. It's got a slight mid-century vibe with the tapered legs and square shape, but it could work with any style and the leather keeps it timeless.
The sofa is super customizable. Not only can you pick from three sizes and 48 fabrics, but you can pick the shape of the seat cushions too – box edge for a more formal classic look or knife edge (pictured here) for a more relaxed feel.
Anthropologie's furniture is luxe and the price tag reflects that. But they do have some great sales which make their beautiful pieces more affordable. This gorgeous cream velvet sofa has over $1000 off.
Sleek, simple, and perfect for getting that sophisticated mid-century modern vibe on a budget. This sofa has already sold out in its green version and you can tell from the amount of reviews how popular this model is, so shop fast.
FAQs
Are the sales a good time to buy a sofa?
Absolutely. There are hundreds of sales happening right now, pop onto your favorite stores and I bet there will be some kind of offer on going on post-Christmas and into January. A sofa is a big piece to buy and even in the sales, they are still an investment so it's a no-brainer to shop these more spendy items over the major sale events.
How much should you spend on a sofa?
This totally depends on your personal budget, your style, and how long you want the sofa to last. Especially around sales time, you could bag a sofa for around $200, but it probably won't be the best quality and unlikely to be long-lasting. And at the other end of the budget scale, sofas can go up to $10,000s. I would just do your research and set a realistic budget for what you are after.
