It’s that time of year! The sizzling sound of the BBQ, the heat of the patio stones on your bare feet, and the crackle of the fire pit at night are just some of the sweet feelings that are about to come.

Summer is upon us and it’s the perfect time to make some upgrades to your backyard space! I know many of us have been “meaning” to clean up our backyards, and make it feel a little more like an extension of our indoor space.

I love outdoor decor because it’s so functional. There are always a few things I love to splurge on because you know it will last season after season, but I find with some items it’s more about the look I want. So I try to find ways I can spend a little less with the same style!

These are just a few of my recent finds! Can you guess the savings?

These chairs are either $279 for one or $289 for two. Can’t get much better than that!

I love the look of Adirondack chairs, but the cost can vary SO much. The one pictured on the left is $900+, but the one I found is just $89.

I think lights are the cutest way to make your space more homey while also being so functional as you lounge well into the evening. Yet another thing that can vary in price SO much for practically the same thing.

This umbrella creates such a fun element to your patio! Whether you love it and want to splurge or get the same look for less, I think this is such a great way to elevate your space in an affordable way.

How insane is this price difference? Sofas can easily be a splurge for the comfort factor, but if you add additional cushions for a lower price you can get away without spending a ton!

I LOVE fire pits! They’re so fun to gather around and make the most out of any backyard space. Check out this deal:

And lastly, you can’t tell me these two tables don’t look nearly identical. Here are some more sweet savings!
