Read on for tips from NFM’s home experts on the best time to buy furniture and when you can snag our best furniture sales.

It’s always the right time at NFM

The truth is, it’s always a great time to buy the furniture you want at NFM. Not only do we maintain a huge selection year-round that swells in the fall and spring, but we shop our competitors to always get you the lowest prices. Starting in March 2025, we are even updating our financing offers so you never have to wait for a good deal on terms. The best time to shop at NFM is truly any time.

Even if you aren’t fully sold on shopping today, we have a little insider info to share about the right time to shop. Designer brands like Lexington and Stickley rarely go on sale. That means snagging a discount at other stores is like trying to catch lightning. Remember, NFM is getting you the best price every day, so the update of your dreams doesn’t have to wait months. If you do notice designer furniture on sale though, make sure to snap up those savings quick, either on nfm.com or by phone.

If you still find yourself waiting for deals to go from best to better, we get it. We have a couple tips for those who love the thrill of snagging the ultimate deal. From here on, everything will be room-specific.

The right time for your favorite room

Let’s begin where your day ends: When is the best time to purchase bedroom furniture? The start of Winter is best for shopping bedroom furniture at NFM. Not only are there seasonal sales and holiday deals, but who doesn’t want to snuggle up in the middle of winter? We find shoppers are always looking to spend time in their own sanctuary right around mid-winter, which is why we aim to provide top bedroom deals right around now.

If you’re already giddy for the start of patio season, let’s talk about the best time of year to buy outdoor furniture. Early spring is the perfect chance to prep your patio. If you live in a place with seasons, you’ll naturally want to maximize your time enjoying all the nice weather. Shopping for outdoor furniture in the early spring means you’re all set once the world thaws and flowers bloom. Starting to shop in March is also great for getting deals on all the new stuff NFM brings in before it sells out!

Last, but certainly not least, we have some tips on the best time to buy living room furniture. Fall is the right choice in this case. As said previously, you get some of the best deals on indoor furniture when the weather turns cool. Fall is also when we get our biggest assortment of new indoor furniture. One piece we highly recommend picking up in fall is a leather sofa or sectional. The right leather furniture will last a lifetime, and fall is ideal for getting the best price on your favorite pick.
