There’s no denying it, folks. Winter is well and truly here. It’s freezing outside, the January slump is undeniable, and all the Christmas decorations have come down (sadly). But with all that comes The Big Winter Sale! With absolutely everything reduced, there’s no better time to find beautiful furniture at great prices. The darker evenings, colder mornings, and more time spent indoors mean that the right furniture can really make all the difference — home comforts really are paramount at this time of year. 

So, whether you’re looking for a cosy new sofa, a new dining table, or even just something to treat yourself with (because let’s be honest, you deserve it), we’ve definitely got something for you at Murphy Home. To help narrow it down, we’ve compiled a list of our favourite pieces The Big Winter Sale has to offer (we think you’ll love them!). And don’t forget — with Humm, we offer you up to 24 months of interest-free credit, with zero fees and 0% APR (T&Cs apply).

1. A Sofa Worth Staying In For

Let’s face it — an evening on the sofa is sometimes a whole lot more tempting than the idea of leaving the house. Movie nights to lazy sunday afternoons are prime sofa time, which is why upgrading your sofa during The Big Winter Sale makes sense. Look for designs that prioritise comfort (think deep seats, supportive cushioning, and soft-touch upholstery), and that fit your space. Consider whether a corner unit or 3-2-1 set up is a better fit — this can make all the difference when it comes to styling your space! Our newest addition to the range ticks all those boxes, and then some; The Pierce is available as both a corner unit and 3-2-1! The colour makes for easy styling, but if it’s not your favourite, it can be made to order in a variety of colours.

If it’s a recliner you’re after, then look no further than the Erin sofa. This sofa has all the hallmarks of a classic comfy couch, with modern electric recline so you can relax in style.

2. Dining Furniture That Works With You

If you found your dining table falling short of its hosting obligations this festive season, an extendable option, like the Wanton might be a good idea. This table extends from a neat 1.6m all the way to 2m, making it the perfect fit for just about any space! Crafted from solid premium oak, this table is built to last, and the timeless design means you won’t get left behind when the trends (inevitably) change. If you’ve been making do with a table that’s seen better days, now’s the time!

Looking for chairs to complement the style? The Newton Dining Chairs do the job perfectly! Crafted from solid oak, just like the table, these chairs bring lots of warmth and structure to your dining space.

3. Sleep Easier with Evernight

When it comes to our Evernight range, it’s tough to pick a winner. In fact, it all depends on the kind of sleeper you are! Whether you prefer memory foam in a mattress, or dynamic temperature control, or if you’re a side, back or stomach sleeper; there’s absolutely something for you within the Evernight range. Since we last spoke, we’ve expanded to include pillows and mattress toppers, so your sleep is about to get a lot more comfortable. 

Sleep is one of the most important things you can invest in when it comes to your long-term health, and a good mattress gets you half way there (plus, with proper care, they’ll last you for years!).

4. Struggling with Space?

There’s something about the post-Christmas clean out that really highlights how much… stuff you actually have (and how unwilling you are to let it go). If you’re on the sentimental side and don’t fancy parting with things, but still don’t really like the clutter, investing in smart storage is your answer. A storage bed like the Shelly is a great option for keeping things both out of sight and accessible, all while maintaining a stylish facade. Otherwise, look for a blanket box or storage ottoman — they do the same job, just on a smaller scale!

5. Homewares That Make All The Difference

Ah, the forgotten, often-overlooked cousin in furniture shopping. Homewares are a criminally underrated part of home styling. Without a well-placed rug your space can lack any kind of structure, and a sofa lacking a cushion is just… sad. Don’t even try to imagine the horrors of lighting a room without a lamp. 

If you’re feeling a bit lost in your styling journey, don’t fret. The missing piece just might be some finishing touches from the homewares section. Our favourites at the moment are the Colton rug, Rust throw, and of course, the Monaco lamp. These really can make all the difference when it comes to how your home feels once the bigger pieces have found their homes. Thank me later.
