The deck is one of my favorite spots of our home! I always get tons of compliments on our outdoor space, and the truth is, even though it may look expensive, just like the blog name says, it's BoujE on a Budget Baby!
I absolutely love a great outdoor oasis, but beautiful patio furniture can cost THOUSANDS! Luckily, you can get the same look at a fraction of the cost to create your perfect outdoor space that you'll be lounging in all summer long! Here's a little Save vs Splurge: Outdoor Furniture Edition. Your pocketbook and your patio will be thanking me!
First up! The cornerstone of my deck and where all the inspo came from:The wicker couch lounger! My exact one was actually from a Grocery Store 5 years ago ( I know, shocking! But I actually get some random good stuff from Shoprite) but I found an extremely similar one on Amazon for the same price! This price is awesome! Under 300! Especially when compared to how much these outdoor couches usually go for. Just look at the comparison btw the Amazon couch at only $299 vs this one from Pier1 for almost 2,000 dollars! So beautiful, affordable and will give your outdoor space the boost it needs!
Next up, the area rug. Area rugs always tie a space together and that still holds true for outdoor spaces. Outdoor rugs warm up the space and really create that indoor/outdoor living vibe. On trend with the theme, outdoor rugs can also be really expensive, but you can get the same look for less. This is my exact rug from Bed Bath and Beyond. It's only $140, compared to this splurge option from Pier1 at $349. Save 200 bucks and get the same great look!
The propane fire place is another one of my fav parts of our deck! I love sitting out by the fire with a glass of wine, and the ease of the propane tank vs a traditional fire pit is so easy and a no brainer. Some of these propane fire pits can be super expensive but this Amazon one is a great option, especially when compared to this Target Splurge option that's over 150 bucks more expensive! I promise, you will get your use out of this well past the summer months!
Maximize your space by adding more seating with a little table set. Perfect for summer nights and outdoor dining. Some of these can be ridiculously expensive like this option from Pier 1 for over 600 dollars! But this one from Amazon gets the same exact little bistro look at a fraction of the cost! Only $169!
I'm obsessed with my outdoor wicker cooler! As you all know, I love to entertain, and this is perfect for some summer patio entertainment! My exact one is a few years old, but I found these two extremely similar ones, one of course if much cheaper than the other! Can you even tell which one? I didn't think so! This is an entertainers dream and the perfect addition to your outdoor space!
What's any outdoor space without an umbrella!? Shade yourself from the hot summer sun without breaking your bank. These two options are very similar but the price tags are a bit different! This is my exact patio Umbrella from Bed Bath and Beyond for only $130 vs this Target splurge option for over $260 bucks.
Last but not least, you know I can't have any space without my pillows!! The more the better! #moremoneymorepillows. But, you don't have to break the bank to spruce up your space and add color with your pillow choices! Some outdoor pillows, just like indoor ones, can be so expensive!! My cute palm print and red striped pillows are of course on a budget but look just as good as the expensive ones! Just look at the comparison!
Now your outdoor space will get the spruce up it needs just in time for summer, and on a Budget! Get ready for those summer nights! See ya on the deck!
Thanks for reading!
