The best Black Friday deals on living room furniture and accessories

Quintessential country living rooms convey cosiness, charm, and comfort. Regardless of where you live, the look can be achieved with a deft use of materials like warming wool, linen and velvet, generously proportioned sofas and armchairs to encourage lounging, eclectic accessories, and quaint touches of the past.

In decorating a country living room choose a sink-in comfy sofa with classic detailing like curved armrests and a traditional button back accompanied by piles of cushions and throws, keep accessories pride of place on coffee tables or open shelves – a bit of well-maintained clutter only adds to the effect – and finish with a peaceful reading nook with a feature armchair, and rugs or carpet underfoot.

Here, we have chosen 10 essential pieces for any country living room, and they're all on sale...

When it comes to making more sustainable purchases and lifestyle choices, reduction should always come before recycling. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. It’s also important to know how to recycle as best we can. Read our guide on how to recycle household items, furniture, electronics, beauty waste, fashion and tech.

A handsome velvet sofa is a country home staple. The generously proportioned Coleridge sofa from OKA adds rounded arms, uniform skirting detail and stained birch wood legs as well as a deep sapphire velvet upholstery to the design mix.

Stout ceramic lamps are particularly popular in country cottages where spindly contemporary lighting would be ill at ease. Our very own Country Living Falmouth lamp from Homebase is topped with a pale linen shade for something quite simple and versatile.

No country living room would be complete without a sumptuous wool carpet for extra comfort underfoot. A simple flax colour or warm beige would do the trick, especially if you want a neutral base from which to build a brighter colour palette.

Today's selection of dog beds and accessories are far from the garish plastic models of old, which means you can choose something befitting of your country design scheme. We love this compact wicker model from Cox & Cox.

More velvet, and this time in a selection of cushions in soft and natural tones. Country living rooms are characterised by comfort and cosiness, so there is really no such thing as too many cushions...

Morris & Co. translate William Morris' iconic country-inspired prints, like the ever popular Strawberry Thief, onto cushions, curtains and throws. We're especially fond of this XL quilt, perfect for draping over a sofa in cooler months.

Country style doesn't pay much attention to clever storage, so display your treasures, books and accessories on open shelves or piled onto coffee tables or windowsills.

Accent chairs are a favourite in country homes, perfect for adding some design interest to a space, and filling any awkward or unloved corners in a living room. This DFS Adair chair has some great traditional detailing too, like the extra plum cushions, turned feet and curved arms.

XL wall mirrors are the perfect design device for increasing natural light in your living room. They are a great purchase during sale periods too as they tend to be so expensive.

Technology can often be at odds with country homes, and so a handsome sideboard to hold your TV makes for a nice compromise. We are particularly fond of this John Lewis Hatch sideboard with rattan doors and brass hardware.
