If you’re planning to shop at Restoration Hardware this holiday season, it’s important to know that there likely won’t be a separate Cyber Monday sale. Instead, the retailer typically extends its Black Friday deals through the weekend and into Cyber Monday, giving shoppers several days to take advantage of discounts on luxury home furnishings.
Expected Cyber Monday 2025 Sale Dates
Restoration Hardware usually kicks off its Black Friday promotions on the Friday after Thanksgiving. For 2025, the Black Friday sale is expected to start on Friday, November 29, 2025, and continue through past Cyber Monday. At RH Outlet locations, these discounts may even stretch until Tuesday, December 2, 2025 .
Earlier in November, RH often runs a Fall Clearance sale, which offers up to 60% off in-stock items both online and in stores. For those who miss the holiday sales, RH Outlets usually hold a Winter Clearance in early January, with discounts ranging from 50% to 80% plus an extra 10% off.
Discounts and Membership Benefits
During the holiday sales, RH Members save 25% every day, with an additional 20% off sale items. This can make a major difference on higher-ticket items like sofas, dining tables, and bedroom furniture.
At RH Outlet stores, discounts are deeper, typically 50% to 80% off, but these items are often discontinued, returned, or slightly imperfect, and membership discounts do not apply. Outlets sell everything as-is, so check your local store for hours if you plan to shop in person.
Retail locations and online sales tend to focus on specific categories with structured discounts, while Outlet stores offer broader, steeper markdowns. Knowing the difference can help you decide which sale is right for your needs.

Updated on Monday, December 9, 2024: Restoration Hardware (RH) is renowned for its luxurious (and expensive!) furniture and timeless home décor. However, if you’re hoping to snag a deal during an After Christmas sale, it’s important to know that RH doesn’t offer a traditional sale at their main stores or website. Instead, the savings are found at RH Outlet locations, where you can find discounts ranging from 35% to 80% off on furniture, lighting, rugs, and more.
Here’s everything you need to know about what to expect, when to shop, and how to maximize your savings at Restoration Hardware’s outlet-based After Christmas Sale this year.
Sale Dates: When to Shop
The After Christmas Sale at RH Outlets is expected to begin on December 26, 2024, the day after Christmas. Historically, this sale extends into the first few days of January, with last year’s event wrapping up on January 7th. That being said, the availability of inventory plays a significant role in how long the sale lasts. Since RH Outlets operate on a while supplies last basis, it’s best to shop as early as possible to secure the best finds.
Unlike traditional retail events, Restoration Hardware’s outlet sales don’t follow a rigid schedule, so the exact end date may vary by location.
What Makes RH Outlet Sales Different?
RH Outlets are a treasure trove of discounted items, offering substantial markdowns on a variety of goods. However, it’s important to know what you’re walking into:
Types of Merchandise: Outlet stores carry items that are discontinued, returned, overstocked, or have slight imperfections. While the savings can be substantial, keep in mind that items are sold as-is.
Final Sale Policy: All sales are final, meaning no returns or exchanges. Take your time inspecting items carefully before purchasing to ensure they meet your expectations.
Limited Inventory: Unlike RH’s main stores or website, where you can place orders for specific items, outlet inventory is limited to what’s on hand. Styles, colors, and sizes vary by location and change frequently.
If you’re flexible and enjoy the thrill of hunting for deals, RH Outlet’s After Christmas Sale can be a fantastic way to score high-quality furniture and décor at a fraction of the original cost.
Discount Levels: How Much Can You Save?
One of the standout features of Restoration Hardware’s outlet sales is the deep discounts, which typically range from 35% to 80% off. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
Furniture: Discounts on sofas, chairs, tables, and beds often fall within the 40-60% range, though some items may go as high as 80% off.
Lighting: Chandeliers, floor lamps, and table lamps are frequently marked down by 50% or more.
Rugs: Area rugs and runners can see discounts of 60% or more, depending on the style and size.
Décor and Accessories: Pillows, throws, and smaller accessories are often discounted by 35-50%.
Keep in mind that the condition of each item varies, and higher discounts are often applied to pieces with visible imperfections or wear.
What to Buy: Top Categories to Shop
Restoration Hardware’s outlet inventory covers a wide range of categories, but some items tend to stand out as the best finds during their After Christmas Sale.
1. Furniture
RH is best known for its elegant and timeless furniture pieces, and the outlet sale is a great opportunity to bring these designs into your home at a fraction of the cost. Look for:
Seating: Sofas, sectionals, armchairs, and dining chairs are common finds, often deeply discounted.
Tables: Dining tables, coffee tables, and side tables are frequently available in a variety of finishes.
Beds and Headboards: Discontinued bedroom furniture, including platform beds and upholstered headboards, is a common category at outlets.
2. Lighting
RH’s lighting designs are both functional and artistic, making them a favorite among shoppers. At the outlet, you’ll find deals on:
Chandeliers: Perfect for adding a dramatic touch to dining rooms or entryways.
Floor and Table Lamps: Contemporary and industrial styles are often available.
Pendants and Sconces: These smaller fixtures are a cost-effective way to elevate your space.
3. Rugs
Area rugs are another popular find at RH Outlet stores. Whether you’re looking for a large rug to anchor your living room or a smaller runner for a hallway, you’ll find a range of sizes and styles at discounted prices.
4. Outdoor Furniture
While RH’s outdoor collections are typically seasonal, you may come across patio furniture, including loungers, tables, and chairs, at significant markdowns during the After Christmas Sale.
5. Home Décor and Accessories
Smaller items like decorative pillows, throws, and accessories can add a touch of luxury to your home without breaking the bank. These are often discounted by 35-50% during the sale.
Tips for Shopping the RH Outlet After Christmas Sale
Shopping at RH Outlets requires a bit of strategy. Here are some tips to help you navigate the sale and make the most of your trip:
1. Shop Early
Inventory moves quickly, especially during major sales. If you’re looking for specific pieces, try to visit the outlet as close to December 26th as possible.
2. Inspect Items Carefully
Since all items are sold as-is and all sales are final, it’s essential to inspect every piece closely. Look for signs of wear, scratches, or missing parts. Don’t be afraid to ask a sales associate for more details about an item’s condition.
3. Bring Measurements
If you’re shopping for furniture, bring measurements of your space to ensure the items will fit. RH furniture tends to be larger than standard sizes, so double-check dimensions before purchasing.
4. Be Flexible
Outlet inventory is unpredictable, so it’s best to go in with an open mind. While you may not find the exact item you’re looking for, you could discover something even better.
5. Call Ahead
If you’re looking for a specific category of items, consider calling your local RH Outlet before visiting. Staff members can often provide a general idea of what’s currently in stock.

Updated on Wednesday August 28, 2024: Get ready… Restoration Hardware’s Labor Day deals begin tomorrow morning! Well, sort of, not in retail stores or their site, but rather, at all of RH’s Factory Outlet stores nationwide. They’ll be running a clearance event this long weekend with up to 50% to 80% off everything in the store plus an EXTRA 10% off on top of that. Here’s a copy of the email that we just received moments ago:
Keep in mind that Restoration Hardware’s site also has deals with up to 70% off on hundreds of clearance items. That includes all of their major product categories: lighting, living, outdoor, bath, office, and more. And if you end up getting anything from their site or retail store (excludes outlets) then remember that RH members save an additional 20% off on top of the lowest listed sale price. If you’re not an RH member then it may be worth considering joining as the extra savings can easily surpass the $100 annual membership fee.
Anyway, don’t miss all the other Labor Day deals happening now. And remember to visit us again in late-November for details on RH’s Black Friday sale. Good luck and happy bargain hunting!
