An interior designer picks Wayfair's best Presidents' Day deals, including a velvet sofa for 70% off

Don't be fooled by the low price tag — reviewers say this couch looks like a million bucks. In fact, more than 15,000 of them think it's worthy of a perfect five-star rating. Not only is it stunning, but it's also versatile, as it folds down to transform into a twin bed for guests. Oh, and that nearly 70% discount doesn't hurt, either.

I live for cleverly designed storage, and this charming piece will add flair to any entry or mudroom. It's secret? It will hide your shoes. Designed to narrowly tuck against the wall, it fits in even the narrowest of spaces. Just flip down one of the two cabinets and slide in pair after pair— no more tripping over shoes left in the walkway. It even has a catchall drawer perfect for keys, gloves, phones, you name it.

Tufted cushioning, elegant curves and splayed wood legs make this modernist piece a seat to beat. It’s the perfect blend of style and substance that’s impossible to find at this price point. The blue stands out for a pop of color, but there are also neutrals like beige and light gray. The padded back — complete with a button-tufted cushion — adds extra comfort. At just $167, you can even pick up a pair to create a reading nook.

Trust me: This rich, color-popping Turkish rug in a medallion pattern will wow you every time you enter the room it calls home. A low 1-inch pile keeps it plush while not impeding the swing of doors. It comes in multiple sizes, with the 6'7" x 9'6" currently 60% off.

Modern, tailored and, most importantly, comfortable. I recommend upholstered headboards to my clients, allowing them to lean back and read or watch TV in comfort. This platform bed, a wild 80% off, makes it easy, saving you from needing a box spring. Available in several colors, the linen weave adds textural interest, and the wing-back style is elegant and cozy.

Clients of mine love this dresser for its ample drawer space as well as its sharp good looks. Mid-century style shines through the clean lines and walnut veneers on this detailed piece. It's the perfect way to amp up your bedroom or hallway storage — and on sale for nearly 50% off.

Lighting is my favorite part of design. It can be the showstopper of a room, plus it creates the ambiance. Change up your decor with a new fixture. This modern pendant will snazz up your kitchen or breakfast nook. I'm digging this lovely green at this price (nearly 70% off). Pro tip: Save energy with an LED bulb, but make sure it's 2700K — that's the same warmth as an incandescent bulb.

It might feel too soon, but you'll be thrilled come spring that you saved nearly 60% on this very pretty lounge set for your patio, balcony or deck. Trendsetting in a coastal aesthetic, this resin-rattan chair and table combo is as durable as it is comfortable. Removable covers are easy to keep clean, while thick cushions provide support. The ottomans make a nice bonus for this seating pair, allowing you to kick back and lounge. A glass-top table provides the perfect spot for that frozen drink.

A little-known secret: I used to own restaurants (designed by moi, of course) and I can tell you, rule numero uno is to keep your knives sharp for safety purposes. A professional knife set, especially one that's 70% off, is a must for your kitchen. Henckels is known for its high quality and the accompanying block storage keeps your new set sharp (looking, too)! Pro tip: Hand wash the knives to preserve your edges.
