Looking for outdoor patio furniture and love the look at Serena & Lily, but can’t afford it? Me too! Luckily, I’ve been able to find budget friendly look-alike options you won’t believe!
With spring just a few weeks away, it’s time to start thinking about updating your outdoor living spaces. March is also the best time to take advantage of patio furniture sales!
Don’t have a big budget for your outdoor furniture, but love the look of the higher end brand Serena & Lily? Me too!
We are going to play a game: Serena & Lily Lust versus Budget Friendly Must.
Affordable Outdoor Furniture
A natural skill I seem to have is finding a cheaper alternative to higher end home decor items without sacrificing the look I want to achieve.
My parents taught me to be frugal, live below my means, work hard, and save more than I spend.
All good lessons that have served me well financially. Take that one step further. You can imagine with the name “Porch Daydreamer” I love outdoor living and patio furniture.

The truth is I like the higher end looks from the more expensive furniture and catalog companies. The reality is my budget hasn’t allowed me to buy the beautiful outdoor furniture collections from Pottery Barn or Serena & Lilly.
I’ve searched high and low to find the same LOOK that is AFFORDABLE.
To furnish the front porch, I bought this full sectional, two ottomans, and the wicker poof for well under $1000 which shipped for FREE. Good right?
A big budget saving tip: buy ready to assemble furniture to save!
People are shocked to hear I didn’t pay a ton for the set on my back porch either. I wanted a full sized sofa to lounge on plus two large club chairs, but I didn’t have a big budget.

Waiting for a sale is key to saving of course, so that is exactly what I did. I was able to purchase all of the pieces with thick cushions covered in SUNBRELLA fabric for under $2000.
Yes, I understand that is a lot of money but if you start comparing the quality versus the price, this was a huge value! I use this room like a 2nd family room much of the year. In my mind it’s been money well spent.
My Secret Source for Outdoor Furniture
You may be surprised to hear all of the primary patio furniture on both my front and back porches is from Target!
YES! I’ve lived with both sets for 3 to 5 years, with NO issues. Think about it – Target’s tag line is “Expect More. Pay Less.”
Shop My Outdoor Furniture Finds
For your convenience, I’m sharing exactly what I purchased on my back porch and a very similar collection on my front porch.
The good news is Target currently has lots of Patio Furniture 25% off and FREE shipping right now.
Shop while this deal is hot and while that wicker poof is in stock!

Serena & Lily Lust vs Target Budget Friendly Must
Yes, I lust after Serena & Lily outdoor living looks. Their clean coastal style just speaks to me, but I simply can’t afford much of their furniture pieces.
Look at this beautiful outdoor room from Serena & Lily! I love the inspiration they provide and I’ve worked to create this same look for myself. Oh white and blue is heaven to me!
This particular look is inspiring a back porch makeover this spring.

Guess what? I’ve found close matches of popular Serena & Lily outdoor furniture at Target!
These look-alike options will save you at least 50% and many options at Target you get 2 pieces for the price of one!
Pin It for Later
Since everyone has their own unique style, I’ve worked to find both modern and traditional pieces. Plus looked for different colors and finishes to round out the mix.
All of these pieces are for outdoor living spaces and will typically have a full collection either in dining or seating to match!

At my heart, I’ll always be a bargain shopper regardless of what is in my bank account.
I hope I’ve inspired a little spring fever! After this winter, I am sure we are all ready for porch and patio weather.
