Dusk's Black Friday sale, offering up to 20% off selected furniture and homeware, has helped one new homeowner save more than £200 on six 'stunning' purchases. The sale runs through November 30, with shoppers entering the code BLACKFRIDAY at checkout to unlock discounts on ranges including beds, sofas, dining tables and accessories.
Shopping writer and new homeowner Bethan Shufflebotham selected six favourites from the retailer's Black Friday 'It List', covering everything from a dining table suited to Christmas entertaining to an ottoman bed she describes as 'perfect for storage', plus gift-worthy items under £30.
Dining and Glassware Picks
The Heidi Oak Extendable Dining Table, reduced from £489 to £391.20, seats up to four people at its smallest and up to eight when fully extended. The natural oak-effect finish gives it a classic look, and the £97.80 saving makes it a sensible option for those who do not need a large table year-round, though chairs are sold separately.
The Gatsby Set of Four Ripple Glass Coupes dropped from £29 to £23.20, working out at £5.80 per glass. One customer said: "The are stunning glasses and will look perfect on any Christmas table and will (be) good for drinks and desserts." Another added: "Good value - the ribbed design gives them a modern, classy look, while still being practical enough for daily use."
Lighting and Cosy Textiles
The Charon LED Rechargeable Wireless Lamp, reduced from £29 to £23.20, offers portable ambient lighting without needing a plug socket. It works well on bookshelves, as a dining table centrepiece, or on a bedside table, though buyers need to keep on top of regular charging.
The St Ives Knit Sofa Throw in green, down from £30 to £24, adds texture to a sofa, armchair or bed. It is also available in ballet slipper, dusty blue and taupe, making it a budget-friendly Secret Santa or Christmas gift option.
Bedroom and Living Room Investments
The Wiltshire Ottoman Storage Bed, starting from £323 after being reduced from £379, combines style with under-bed storage. Bethan said: "We lack storage space in our house, so under-bed storage was essential for helping keep our space looking clutter-free. Not only is the design really rich and elegant, but it was really quite easy to assemble as a bit of a flatpack-novice." One five-star review called it "The most gorgeous, sturdy bed which was so easy to build."
The Knaresborough Button Back Coffee Table Pouffe in cream linen, down from £199 to £159.20, offers a softer take on a traditional coffee table. One shopper remarked: "Extremely happy with this coffee table, it looks so bright in my front room," while another hailed it as "very classy and elegant." Given its pale fabric, buyers may want to use a decorative tray to protect against spills.
With options spanning festive entertaining, cosy interior updates and gifts across budgets, Dusk's Black Friday sale provides a range of choices for shoppers looking to refresh their homes before Christmas.
