Updated on Thursday, December 5, 2024: Whether you’re planning a complete home refresh or simply looking for a deal on some decor, Crate & Barrel’s After Christmas Sale will bring some pretty good end-of-year discounts across the store. Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming sale, including when it starts, what discounts to expect, and how to plan your shopping.
When Does the Sale Start?
Crate & Barrel’s After Christmas Sale is set to kick off on or around December 25, 2024. They usually don’t announce an official end date for the sale, but based on previous years, it’s expected to run through mid-January 2025, or until stock runs out. If you’re familiar with sales like these, you know that popular items tend to sell quickly, so it’s worth shopping early to avoid missing out on the best finds.
Where to Shop
You’ll be able to shop the sale both in-store at all Crate & Barrel locations nationwide and online. Just remember, availability may vary between the website and physical stores, so if you have your eye on a particular item, it’s worth checking both options.
What Discounts Can You Expect?
The 2024 After Christmas Sale is expected to feature discounts of up to 60% off select clearance and sale items, along with up to 30% off select furniture.
Here’s a breakdown of what you might find during the sale:
- Clearance Items: This is where you’ll likely find the biggest discounts, with markdowns of up to 60%. Clearance typically includes seasonal décor, kitchenware, and holiday items that Crate & Barrel is phasing out to make room for new inventory.
- Furniture Deals: Select furniture pieces, including floor samples, will be marked down by as much as 30%. If you’ve been waiting to invest in a new couch, bed frame, or dining set, this could be the time to make your move.
- Decorative Accessories: Items like throw pillows, rugs, and wall art are often included in the sale and can help you refresh your space without breaking the bank.
- Dinnerware and Kitchen Items: Crate & Barrel is well-known for its stylish and durable kitchenware, and these items are often heavily discounted during their sales.
What to Buy During the Sale
Crate & Barrel’s After Christmas Sale is a great time to stock up on high-quality home items that rarely go on sale at other times of the year. Here are some categories worth exploring:
- Seasonal Décor
The sale often includes discounts on holiday décor like ornaments, wreaths, and table settings. While these items may not be immediately useful after Christmas, they’re worth storing away for next year, especially at steep discounts. - Furniture
Large furniture pieces like sofas, dining tables, and armchairs are often included in the sale, with discounts that can make a big difference on higher-ticket items. These are typically pieces from the outgoing season’s collection, so it’s a good chance to snag something unique. - Kitchenware
From dinnerware sets to cookware, Crate & Barrel’s kitchen items are always a highlight of their sales. These are perfect for upgrading your kitchen essentials or replacing worn-out pieces. - Lighting
Table lamps, pendant lights, and floor lamps are usually included in the sale, making it a great time to brighten up your home with stylish and functional lighting. - Decorative Accessories
Smaller items like vases, picture frames, and decorative trays often see steep discounts. These are great for adding finishing touches to your space. - Textiles
Rugs, bedding, and throw pillows are staples of Crate & Barrel’s After Christmas Sale. These items are not only functional but can also add a fresh look to your home for the new year.
Things to Keep in Mind
- “Final Sale” Items
Many of the discounted items, particularly those in the clearance section, are marked as “final sale.” This means they cannot be returned or exchanged. Be sure to double-check the details before completing your purchase, especially for larger items like furniture. - Limited Availability
As with most sales, everything is available only while supplies last. Popular items often sell out quickly, so it’s best to shop early if you’re eyeing something specific. - Exclusions
As is typical with major sales, some exclusions will apply. The exact list of excluded items will be detailed in the terms and conditions on Crate & Barrel’s website once the sale goes live. - Shipping Costs
While Crate & Barrel often offers free shipping on orders over $49, this typically excludes furniture and oversized items, which may come with additional delivery fees. Be sure to factor this into your budget when shopping online.
