How To Take Advantage Of White Sales And Why You Should Refresh Linens
January is the heart of winter, but it’s also the season of white sales. This time of year, stores reduce prices on linens to get you ready for a new year as well as thinking ahead to spring cleaning. The season focuses on new linens because this is a great and easy way to freshen up your home.
Why Welcome The White Sales
Winter can be dull, and we spend more time indoors. When we head to our bedrooms at night, we’re climbing into bed, preparing to face another dreary winter day in the morning. It’s very easy to fall into a joyless routine that gets us through the winter but with very little to look forward to. That’s why, in a small way, the winter white sales matter—they symbolically bring back some spark and breath life back to the routine.
Old, worn-out sheets feel as dull as they look, and putting up with these faded or wilted sheet sets can make it feel like you’re rolling into a well-worn groove instead of relaxing into bed for a good night’s rest. If your down comforter has lost its loft, then you’re left with a flat swatch of fabric without any comfort to offer.
Sleeping with sorry linens such as these can make it harder to fall and stay asleep. The way you feel in bed affects your sleep quality, and this directly relates to the quality of your bed linens. Give yourself the benefit of new, crisp linens to support you as you snooze instead of listlessly pool under you whilst you slumber.
How To Take Advantage Of The White Sales Season
As you start to see the sales ramp up, you may feel bombarded by the ads and confused by which to follow. Here’s a quick list of shopper’s tricks to making the most of white sales to help you:
Pick Your Pieces First. Think about the items you want to refresh at home and target these. From wilted duvets to flat pillows, decide which items you want to swap out. Once you identify the items you need to replace, then you can start to look.
Find Retailers Offering White Sales. It can be overwhelming at first but start to learn the names of retailers offering white sales. Whether online offers or brick-and-mortar stores, take some time to research available sales. Keep your eye out for exclusive sales at department stores that have linens departments or storewide sales on merchandise from home goods stores.
Do Some Comparison Shopping. Take your shopping list to the stores or websites and see which items are reduced the most. The type of white sale may vary from discounted prices to deals like a “buy two for the price of one” bargain.
Recycle And Repurpose. Try to avoid throwing away the old linens once you find replacements. Consider slicing linens into pieces to use for cleaning or other household projects or repurpose sheets or blankets for outdoor uses like picnicking or trunk liners. At the least, consider donating to companies that use tarps like college painters or animal groomers.
Making The Most Of The Season
As we face the middle of winter, use the white sales to bring some zest to your bedroom and change the look of your home. You’ll appreciate the feeling that freshness brings to offset the doldrums of winter and welcome springtime when it comes. There’s nothing quite like the look and feel of fresh linens to renew and energize your spirit as well as your home.
