18 Furniture and Homewares Finds Our Editors Are Snapping Up This Black Friday

MCM House Ashen Stellara table lamp

I’m very anti big light – the more little lights around the room, the better. This ceramic table lamp aids my mission very nicely, with a sculptural shape and polished shine that leaves a gentle glow. A prime spot on my bedside table means it will let me read in bed without the pesky overhead lights on. $197.50 ($395)

– Chynna Santos, branded content editor , $197.50

RJ Living Otto Coffee Table

We need a new coffee table – the one we currently have is from Amazon and is made from terrible material (one of the legs has already snapped). As I get older, I really do appreciate quality, so this piece will make the perfect addition to our living room. $1275 (was $1700)

– Pauline De Leon, branded content editor , $1275

Gohar World lace-appliqued cotton napkins

Nostalgic (and romantic) textiles are back dressing the table – from lace to crochet, and even paper doilies. This set of aesthetic napkins fits the bill, with a side of whimsy that’s signature to Gohar World. And at 40 per cent off, they promise to chic-ify my Christmas tablescape and many more dinner tables to come. $190 (was $315.50)

– Simone Richardson, shopping editor , $190

1970s Italian cantilever chairs

Don’t tell him I said this, but my boyfriend and I are gonna grow old together in these vintage Italian cantilever chairs. $921.62 (was $1024.02)

– Holly Bodeker-Smith, newsletter editor , $921.62

Lifely Prism side table

Side tables are my Achilles heel – I’ve never been able to find something that feels minimal, yet functional and doesn’t feel too much like a “classic” side table. The Prism side table from Lifely might be it though, and with 20 per cent off it’s time to pull the trigger. $399 (was $499)

– Meg Nolan, social media performance executive , $399

MCM House Blanca Owan wall sconce

I never want to turn on an overhead light again and I have too much empty wall space. Two birds, one wall sconce. $896.25 ($1195)

– Audrey Payne, Melbourne food and drink editor , $896.25

Victrola turntable & speaker bundle

I’ve been meaning to upgrade my inherited hi-fi setup for a long time so my wish is for the Victrola automatic turntable and bookshelf speaker bundle. I’ve had lots of random bits and pieces that I’ve either purchased myself or been given by people, a Frankenstein of a hi-fi system that’s ugly – this is very attractive. $775.96 (was $969.95)

– Dan Cunningham, food and drink features editor , $775.96

Vintage chrome bar cart

I’ve got my eye on this gorgeous chrome bar cart with smoked glass. I’m excited to style it and stack it high with my growing magazine collection. $538.07 (was $633.03)

– Steph Vigilante, head of social , $538.07

Lifely’s Carson sofa bed

We have family visiting from overseas this summer and are on the hunt for a sofa bed to make everyone comfortable. This Japanese-inspired design is minimal and very cosy. $519 (was $649)

– Gitika Garg, assistant editor, art, design, style, $519

Eva pillow

I already have an Eva mattress that I love, so I have full faith its pillow will lull me to sleep just as effectively. I move around a lot and need all the support I can get. Hopefully the memory foam and adjustable firmness will do the trick. And if it doesn’t work out, luckily it comes with easy free returns. $109 (was $149)

– Chynna Santos, branded content editor , $109

I Love Linen French flax linen sheets

I’m refreshing my sheets ahead of hosting family this Christmas. When I asked my co-workers where to restock, so many recommended I Love Linen – all backed by tried-and-tested comfort. So I’m committing, with 30 per cent off and a free set of pillowcases. My guests will thank me later. $248.50 (was $355)

– Simone Richardson, shopping editor , $248.50

MCM House Jean De lamp

I’m shopping MCM House’s Jean De lamp. We’ve just moved house and it’s super dark in my lounge room. I hate the fluorescents, so I’m on the hunt for a warm vibey light. $393.75 (was $525)

– Grace MacKenzie, Sydney food and drink editor , $393.75

Double Haven Flokati shag rug

Maybe it’s my love affair with mid-century design, or the fact that I’m a homebody who loves to feel cosy, but I personally believe there’s nothing better than a flokati rug, preferably placed under your bed for ultimate comfort the moment you get up. Double does a vegan version that’s also machine-washable, stain-resistant and currently on sale. $664 (was $830)

– Meg Nolan, social media performance executive , $664

RJ Living Toto coffee table

This terracotta table is a doozy, and it’s making me want to reinvent my entire aesthetic. $636.75 (was $849)

– Rashmi Mohotti, social media coordinator , $636.75

Inartisan Rokha stool

I’ve always wanted a wooden bathroom stool, the kind you can top with a lush body cream and a casually draped towel. It makes shower time feel more spa-like, and I’m ready to get this one. $135.20 (was $169)

– Gitika Garg, assistant editor, art, design, style , $135.20

Lifely modular sofa

A green sofa has been on my imaginary vision board for years now and this Lifely modular sofa is one of the best I’ve seen. Customisable based on your space and your ideal setup (I will definitely opt for an ottoman), it’s also washable and seriously affordable. $2140 (was $2675)

– Meg Nolan, social media performance executive , $2140

Double Motif chenille rug

I should probably replace all the carpeting in my apartment, but that seems like too hard a task for the end of the year. For now, I’ve my eye on Double’s Motif olive chenille rug. It’s nice, neutral and would look beautiful in my bedroom. $384 ($480)

– Lucy Bell Bird, national assistant editor , $384

Dyson Gen 5 detect vacuum

My vacuum cleaner’s high-power function broke a few months ago and it’s been a nightmare for dog fluff. I’ve been holding out for Black Friday to upgrade, and this one detangles pet hair (result!). It also has a bright light that reveals dust – a winner for low-light rooms. Plus, it’s $650 off. Hello, forever vacuum. $949 (was $1599)

– Evie Baker, photo editor, $949
