The End of Financial Year (EOFY) isn’t just about spreadsheets and tax returns; it’s also when retailers clear out excess stock to make room for new arrivals. The result? One of the biggest shopping events of the year, and if you’re planning an interior refresh, the best time to start shopping for new furniture.
High-value EOFY sales to shop for a cheap home refresh:
- Save up to 50% off at Temple & Webster’s EOFY Sale
- Save up to up to 30% off mattresses, sofas and bed bases at Koala’s EOFY Sale
- Save 30% off sofas and sofa beds at Lifely’s EOFY sale
- Save up to 40% of at Castlery’s Great EOFY Home Sale
- Save up to 40% off at Pillow Talk’s EOFY Sale
We’re seeing big-ticket items like dining tables, sofas and bed bases discounted by up to 60%, which can translate to hundreds of dollars in savings. But to truly make the most of these massive markdown events, you need to go in with a game plan; it’s easy to get swept up in buying what you don’t actually need just because it’s at a great price, but there are few worse feelings than buyer’s remorse.
To help you walk away from this year’s EOFY offerings with maximum savings and minimum regret, we’ve created a guide to all the top furniture sales you can shop right now, complete with a handy cheat sheet for those who know exactly what they want.
Skip or save: where to spot top EOFY furniture deals
When it comes to the EOFY sales, not all discounts are created equal. While homewares and decor rarely see more than a standard 10% to 15% markdown, big-ticket furniture categories — like modular sofas, solid timber dining tables, and mattresses — are where retailers genuinely slash prices to clear warehouse floors before June 30.
Unless you’re hunting down a rare, much-loved piece that baseline clearances never touch, skip the minor accessory sales and focus your budget on the big items, targeting discounts of 20% to 40% off.
01
Temple & Webster
Up to 50% off during the EOFY Sale
Hundreds of Temple & Webster’s already-affordable home pieces are up to 50% off in their massive EOFY Sale, running now ’til June 30. To help you sort through the 796 pages of sale items, you can filter by price range, décor style and customer rating. Also note that not everything on the site is included in the EOFY Sale.
My sale picks? The Duck Down & Feather All Seasons Quilt, which starts at $69.95, down from $179, the White Aurora 7 Drawer Chest, $284 down to $229, and the Maddie Boucle Accent Chair, which comes in four colours and is now starting at $299 from $369.

03
Pillow Talk
Up to 40% off 500+ products
While Pillow Talk is best known for their extensive range of dreamy bedding and decor, their range of trend-driven furniture staples deserves just as much recognition. From coffee tables and sofas to occasional chairs and bed heads, Pillow Talk’s furniture range is varied, stylish, and for a limited time, cheaper than ever.
Our Shopping Editor, Paris Blanchfield, points out the Meryl Occasional Chair as her favourite clearance pick: “It’s perfect for creating a timeless, Hamptons-style aesthetic in your living room, and it’s considerably cheaper than chairs with similar designs.” Her second recommendation? Pillow Talk’s Galloway Bedhead, as, in her own words, “investing in a bedhead is the easiest way to elevate your bedroom, and when I find an option like this for 50% off, it’s a no-brainer.”
Best for those who are:
- Recreating interiors from their Pinterest boards
- Trying out a new aesthetic
- Design-conscious, but on a budget

Lifely’s EOFY Sale only extends to their sofas and sofa beds, which are 30% off until June 30, but they do have an always-on Outlet section on their site with up to 60% off other furniture categories like bookshelves, lamps and home office tables.
I’d recommend shopping for a Nicholas Bar Stool, $157.20 a piece, down from $393, the Wilber Home Office, now $212.40, down from $531, which can also be used as a hallway table, and the Cocoon Bed, $879 from $1,099.
