Sale away into January with discounts on home interiors

Carol O’Callaghan takes a trip around the shops to see what discounts are on offer to finish off a home interior project.

Just when you thought Christmas gift buying was over and you’d made a promise never to darken the door of another shop, the sales begin and lure you off your fireside chair into the wind and rain — in anticipation of a bargain.

If you missed Black Friday, now is the time to nab the covetable, but pricey sofa you’ve been hankering after, or the statement piece dining table and chairs, or just the comfort of a new and supportive mattress. The object of my own affections is a crimson velvet Chesterfield sofa.
