IKEA’s Black Friday Sale (often referred to as their “Winter Sale”) is expected to start on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, the day before Thanksgiving. While some of the bigger discounts will likely end by Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025, the broader sale usually runs into early January, giving you time to catch deals even after the initial rush.

Types of Deals to Expect

IKEA tends to discount a wide range of categories during this sale, not just furniture. Based on last year’s offers, we’ll probably see significant markdowns across:

• Living room pieces, including sofas, armchairs, and ottomans

• Dining furniture, like tables, chairs, and benches

• Home décor, such as mirrors, lighting, clocks, and holiday items

• Textiles, including curtains, cushion covers, rugs, and table linens

• Kitchenware, cookware, and small appliances

• Storage solutions, baskets, boxes, and organization accessories

• Smart tech, like SYMFONISK speakers and LED lighting

Discounts in 2024 ranged from 25% to 60%, depending on the category. Light bulbs, cookware, and décor had some of the highest markdowns, with select sofas and holiday décor cut in half.

Extra Perks for IKEA Family Members

Members of the free IKEA Family loyalty program often get an extra 10% off select sale items. They also have access to daily restaurant deals, including:

• Discounted meals on weekdays

• Free kids’ meals with adult entrée purchases on certain days

• Senior discounts

• Budget-friendly breakfast options on weekends

It’s worth joining if you’re planning to shop in-store or grab a bite while browsing.

Online and In-Store Shopping

Most deals are available both online at ikea.com and in physical stores. There may be a few in-store-only markdowns, especially for clearance or floor models. IKEA typically offers free delivery on purchases over $299 during this period, which is helpful if you’re buying larger items.

Example Deals from Last Year

While exact products will vary, here are some highlights from 2024:

• GAMMALBYN Sofa: 50% off

• SYMFONISK Speaker Lamp: 30% off

• SOLHETTA LED Bulbs: 60% off

• Select cookware: Up to 50% off

• VINTERFINT holiday décor: 40% off

• Soft toys: 25% off

• Storage baskets: Up to 40% off

These discounts often apply to current collections, not just end-of-season items.

Other Seasonal Offers

In addition to product deals, IKEA usually runs a charity donation match during the Winter Sale. Last year, they matched customer donations to Save the Children, up to $50,000. Programs like this often return around the holidays.

Questions & Comments

How are you planning on updating your living spaces at IKEA’s upcoming Black Friday sale? Let us know in the comments below.

If you’re waiting for a special Cyber Monday event from IKEA this year, don’t hold your breath. The retailer rarely launches a separate Cyber Monday promotion. Instead, its Black Friday sale, which is often called the “Winter Sale,” usually continues right through Cyber Monday before winding down in the weeks that follow.

Expected 2025 Sale Dates

For 2025, IKEA’s main holiday sale is projected to begin on Wednesday, November 26, the day before Thanksgiving. Most major markdowns will remain available through Monday, December 1, with the larger Winter Sale running well into early January. That means shoppers can still grab deals after Cyber Monday, even if the biggest offers taper off once December begins.

Typical Discounted Offered

IKEA typically includes nearly every part of the home in its holiday promotions. Discounts in 2024 ranged between 25% and 60%, depending on the product category. Home décor, cookware, and lighting were some of the most deeply discounted areas, with several sofas and holiday collections priced at half off.

Here’s a look at the kinds of offers that appeared last year, many of which ran straight through Cyber Monday:

• GAMMALBYN Sofa at 50% off

• SYMFONISK Speaker Lamp at 30% off

• SOLHETTA LED Bulbs at 60% off

• Select cookware up to 50% off

• VINTERFINT holiday décor at 40% off

• Storage baskets and soft toys discounted by up to 40%

These promotions generally apply to current product lines rather than clearance-only merchandise.

Perks for IKEA Family Members

Anyone enrolled in the free IKEA Family loyalty program usually gets access to extra savings during the Winter Sale. Members often receive an additional 10% off select products and special dining deals in the IKEA restaurant, such as:

• Weekday meal discounts

• Free kids’ meals when adults purchase an entrée

• Senior and breakfast specials

Signing up is quick, and the perks extend both online and in-store.

Shopping Online or In Person

Shoppers can expect nearly all Cyber Monday offers to be available on ikea.com as well as in physical stores. A few clearance and floor-model deals are typically reserved for in-store visitors. Free delivery on purchases above $299 is also common during this sale window, which makes upgrading furniture or buying larger pieces much more convenient.

Holiday Giving Initiatives

IKEA has a tradition of supporting charitable causes during its holiday sale season. In 2024, the company matched customer donations to Save the Children up to $50,000. It’s likely that a similar program will return this year as part of their seasonal efforts.
