TayJo’s 4th of July Home Finds: The Best Non-Amazon Deals to Shop Now

Summer is in full swing—and so are the sales. If your home is feeling a little heavy from spring or you’ve been waiting for the right moment to upgrade a few things, this long weekend is the time to do it. I’ve rounded up my favorite 4th of July deals that aren’t from Amazon (those are coming soon!) so you can refresh your space with pieces that feel both intentional and effortless.

Whether you’re leaning into coastal summer vibes, prepping your patio for slow evenings outside, or just want to swap in lighter textures and softer tones, these finds are easy to layer into your home. Each one is TayJo-approved—meaning it’s either something I’ve used, styled, or saved for future spaces.

Let’s start with home decor steals that instantly brighten a space without a full-on overhaul.

Home Decor Steals

A little patriotic flair can go a long way—especially when it’s subtle, cozy, and on sale. This year, I’m especially loving the Pottery Barn American Flag Knit Pillow, which blends classic summer charm with a soft, elevated look that works all season long. It’s festive without being over the top, and right now, it’s marked down just in time for the 4th.

This is also a great weekend to grab decorative accents you’ll use all summer—from breezy pillows and rattan trays to charming tabletop finds and soft lighting. I always think of these little styling moments as the finishing layer that makes a space feel lived in and pulled together.

A few deals to check out:

  • Pottery Barn – Up to 50% off select outdoor & patriotic-themed decor (including the American Flag Pillow!)

  • Anthropologie – Up to 30% off indoor/outdoor furniture & decor + extra 40% off sale items

  • H&M Home – Discounts up to 75% off select home accents like linen pillow covers, glass vases, and trays

  • Target (Threshold / Studio McGee) – Summer Sale with various markdowns on lighting, wall art, and seasonal decor

These are perfect for layering in a little red, white, and blue—or just freshening things up with soft summer neutrals and natural textures.

Furniture Finds

If you’ve had your eye on a new piece or two, this weekend is your chance to save big on timeless furniture that blends style and function. I always recommend investing in the pieces you touch and use daily—think nightstands, benches, dining chairs, and ottomans. And right now, West Elm has some amazing options marked down that check all the boxes: modern yet warm, high-quality, and versatile enough to work in a variety of rooms.

Personally, I love their clean-lined nightstands with hidden storage (so good for small spaces), and their textural ottomans are perfect for adding an extra layer to a living room or bedroom. Whether you’re refreshing a corner or finishing off a full space, these sales make it easier to do it with intention.

A few standout deals:

  • West Elm – Up to 60% off furniture, including nightstands, benches, dining chairs & more

  • Pottery Barn – Up to 50% off indoor and outdoor furniture (including classics like the Folsom Coffee Table and reclaimed wood benches)

  • IKEA – Summer savings on staples like the HAVSTA cabinet and new outdoor sets

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to upgrade a worn-out piece or finally fill that empty corner—this is it.

Lighting & Accent Pieces

A lighting swap might seem small, but it has major impact—especially when you choose pieces that double as decor. Right now, Crate & Barrel is offering deep discounts on some of their best-selling lighting, including one of my favorites: a sleek chrome table lamp that adds just the right amount of shine and sophistication. It’s modern but not cold, and it layers beautifully with warm woods, woven textures, or linen upholstery.

Whether you’re looking to brighten up a nightstand, desk, or entry table, this is the time to snag something elevated and functional. Bonus points if it reflects light around the room—literally.

A few lighting deals worth checking out:

  • Crate & Barrel – Up to 60% off select lighting, including best-sellers like their chrome table lamp and statement pendants

  • Pottery Barn – Up to 50% off lighting collections (especially great for ceramic and rattan textures)

  • Target – Discounts on Threshold and Studio McGee lamps that offer high style for less

Lighting truly sets the tone of a room, and these pieces are the kind that pull a look together while giving you that soft, flattering summer glow.

Rugs & Soft Textures

Swapping out a rug is one of my favorite ways to refresh a space for a new season—and in the summer, lighter patterns, soft neutrals, and washable fabrics make all the difference. Right now, Ruggable is running a sitewide sale, and it’s the perfect time to grab a rug that’s both stylish and functional.

If you’re not already familiar, Ruggable rugs are completely machine washable (yes, even the 8x10s), which makes them ideal for high-traffic areas, homes with pets, or just summer living in general. Whether you want a soft coastal stripe, a vintage-inspired runner, or something bold for a covered patio, they have an option that’ll work—and hold up.

Sale highlight:

  • Ruggable – Up to 20% off sitewide on all washable rugs, including indoor/outdoor styles, runners, entry mats, and area rugs

I always recommend Ruggable to clients who want durability without sacrificing style. It’s a small change that instantly freshens up a room—and it’s worry-free, which is perfect for summer.

Outdoor Living & Patio Picks

If your outdoor space has been feeling a little neglected—or you’re dreaming of slow summer evenings spent outside—this is the weekend to elevate your setup. Wayfair is running a huge summer outdoor sale, and it includes everything from patio sets to outdoor rugs, lanterns, umbrellas, and storage that actually looks good.

I love treating outdoor areas like an extension of the home: layer in textures, mix functional pieces with cozy details, and create little zones for lounging, dining, or sipping something cold. Whether you have a small balcony or a full backyard, a few thoughtful additions go a long way in making it feel intentional.

Standout deals to browse:

  • Wayfair – Up to 60% off outdoor furniture, rugs, lighting, and accessories

  • Crate & Barrel – Select outdoor collections marked down, including chic umbrellas, modern planters, and sleek lounge chairs

  • Target – Affordable patio sets and outdoor decor included in the seasonal home sale

This is a great time to finally grab that outdoor bench you’ve been eyeing—or to upgrade your dinner al fresco setup before your next summer gathering.

Bedding Deals to Beat the Heat

There’s nothing better than slipping into cool, crisp sheets after a long summer day—and if your bedding could use a refresh, now’s the perfect time to upgrade. Brooklinen is running a major sale on their best-selling sheet bundles and lightweight quilts, and it’s absolutely worth checking out if you’ve been holding off on a bedding reset.

I’ve always loved Brooklinen for their buttery-soft fabrics, breathable textures, and the lived-in, elevated feel their pieces bring to a room. Their Classic Percale and Linen collections are especially great for warmer months—light, airy, and totally nap-worthy.

A few must-see deals:

  • Brooklinen – Up to 25% off sitewide, including sheet bundles, linen duvet covers, and lightweight quilts

  • Quince – Affordable alternatives with luxury-feel linen and cotton bedding, many styles under $100

  • Parachute – Select summer bedding and linen sets on sale, perfect for a breezy, minimalist look

Small upgrades like breathable sheets or a new quilt can completely shift your sleep routine—and make your bedroom feel like a boutique hotel in the best way.
