Walking into West Elm is like perusing a real-life mid-century modern Pinterest board. Geometric-patterned rugs, tapered wood legs, flat-panel cabinetry, metal hardware—the brand is known for its look and does it well. With Memorial Day weekend here, we had a feeling a handful of its signature styles would be hanging out in the clearance section. Through May 30, the retailer is slashing prices up to 60% on a number of homewares and decor, from rugs to bedding. We took that as our cue to unearth a few shop-worthy hidden gems, with an emphasis on limited-edition collections and designer collaborations by the likes of Mara Hoffman and Diego Olivero (speaking of, how gorgeous is this set of stemware?). Find our favorite finds, below, organized by price.
Raffia Charger
Dress up your dinnerware—like these colorful yet casual sets of modern melamine plates, also on sale—with the lovely fringed detail of this handwoven charger made with durable raffia.
Fluted Acrylic Drinking Glasses
Nothing may feel more luxe than sipping from a ribbed vessel, and these fluted glasses take the party outside. This is an exclusive design with Aaron Probyn that you can safely use at every patio gathering this summer since it’s deceptively made with acrylic instead of glass. The matching pitcher is on sale, too.
Floating Lines Single Shelf
Tap this minimalist metal shelf to free up both visual clutter and your bathroom vanity. The steel is finished in a soothing white and ships with all the necessary hardware. Of course, we also love that it’s 44% off.
Simple String Lights
Pepper in the ambience by stringing these brass-capped string lights (you may recognize them from our guide to the category) in your backyard tree branches, along a fence, or from the ceiling of a covered porch.
Recycled Double Old-Fashioned Glasses, Set of 8
Crafted in Mexico, this curvy set of short tumblers is sure to make any pour—bubbly or still—look more luxe.
Kule Striped Round Floor Cushion
Invite extra guests to take a seat wherever with this comfy cotton and jute floor cushion designed in collaboration with clothing brand Kule. The matching striped handle makes it easy to move from room to room.
Jordan Outdoor Table Lamp
Don’t let the slim silhouette of this outdoor-rated lamp fool you—it’ll be key to smoothly transitioning to an event after sunset by providing the just-right amount of ambient light via a rechargeable LED bulb.
Mara Hoffman Color-Blocked Quilt
From fashion designer Mara Hoffman’s calming limited-edition collaboration with West Elm, we’d scoop up this subtle color-blocked quilt before it’s gone for good.
Ribbed Glass Table Lamp
This petite, mushroom-like table lamp is more than 50% off in its bright colorways (a mustardy yellow, antique-inspired amber, and frosty blue). Opt for the neutral champagne at 25% off.
Belle Nightstand
Cute and compact, this hand-welded steel nightstand is on sale in three fun hues: burnt umber, celadon, and petrol.
Classic Sweater Rug
A wool blend at West Elm for less than $200? We’re totally serious. Snag this steal before it’s gone—the retailer warns that only a few of the timeless, goes-with-anything design are left.
European Flax Linen Classic Striped Duvet Cover
A linen duvet that gets softer after every wash and costs less than $300? Yes, please. This striped duvet in natural flax is Oeko Tex certified and will offer a cooling layer to your summer bedspread.
Simple Bed Frame
Constructed from contract-grade solid and engineered wood, this affordably priced bed frame provides you with the freedom to personalize a headboard (or totally opt out). Solid pine slats support most standard mattresses, and each of the options (the standard 8-inch or taller 120-inch height) is 30% off if you’re in the market for a full or larger.
European Flax Linen Curtain
In our opinion, there are few things as luxurious as linen curtains. Understandably, that means they usually skew on the pricier side, so we were ecstatic to discover this best-selling set over $100 off if you go with the blackout lining in the three lengths offered (84 to 108 inches).
Terrace Coffee Table
This tiered coffee table caught our eye when we were first on the search for small-space–friendly items. We like it even more now that it’s on sale; we see the bottom shelf acts as a catchall for everything from magazines to mail to remotes, while the top can display all the cute stuff. And the classic brass-and-glass combo helps free up visual clutter.
Soft Checked Rug
For a bit of pattern and pizzazz, try this checked number that features a plush, high pile.
Playa Outdoor Reversible Sectional
Flip-flop the ottoman of this 92-inch outdoor sectional based on your backyard setup. The sleek profile is made with solid wood, so you can rest easy knowing it’ll last longer than one summer. Take note: Only the weathered black finish is on sale.
