Serena & Lily Look for Less: 20 Designer-Inspired Finds

If you love Serena & Lily’s relaxed, coastal style as much as I do, you know how easy it is to fall in love with their furniture and decor. And also… how quickly those price tags add up! While there are some Serena & Lily pieces I think are absolutely worth the splurge, I’m always excited when I find a similar look for less.

Today I’m sharing all of my favorite Serena & Lily look for less finds, including furniture, lighting, rugs, and more! (post includes commissionable links; for more information, see my full disclosure statement {here})

Anguilla Coffee Table

A round coffee table that I’ve always loved is this 44″ Anguilla rattan coffee table from Serena & Lily. It has great texture and an open, airy feel:

While Serena & Lily discontinued it, I still wanted to share the look for less version because it’s such a similar design at about half the price of the splurge version:

Splurge: Serena & Lily Anguilla 44″ Rattan Coffee Table  |  Save: 39″ Round Rattan Coffee Table

Beaufort Tray

If you’re looking for a large woven tray, {Serena & Lily’s 34″ Beaufort Tray} is a beauty:

It’s a great size for anchoring a large coffee table or ottoman, where you can fill it with stacks of books, a vase, candles, and other decorative accents. {This handwoven tray from Quince} has a very similar look and is almost exactly the same size at 33.5″ long.

Splurge: Beaufort Tray | Save: Look for Less Tray

I love the natural texture both add to a room, but the Quince version gives you the look for a whole lot less with 5-star reviews. It sells out frequently so it’s one to grab when you see it in stock!

Kentfield Lantern Pendant

I chose {these lantern pendants} for over the kitchen island in our previous home and love how the open pendants kept this space feeling light and airy (especially since our kitchen ceilings were under 8′):

The only negative? They weren’t cheap! At the time that we remodeled our kitchen, I couldn’t find any similar pendants at a lower price, but now there are several great looks for less. One of the best is {this lantern pendant} that has a very similar design and the exact same dimensions as the Serena & Lily pendant but is less than half the price:

Splurge: Kentfield pendant |  Save: Finnegan pendant

In addition to the satin brass finish option that’s the closest match to my Darlana pendants, this look for less version is also available in brushed nickel and matte black.

Mirabelle Rug

This find is such a good one! If you’re familiar with Serena & Lily’s Mirabelle rug (it’s now discontinued but they carried it for years), you know that it’s a gorgeous patterned rug with neutral colors that work well in almost any room:

The 8′ x 10′ size of the Mirabelle rug sold for over $2000, so it’s definitely a splurge piece. A spot-on look for less (MUCH less!) is {this Birdwood area rug}:

Splurge: Serena & Lily Mirabelle Rug  |  Save: Birdwood Area Rug

It’s available in several size options too. Is the quality of the two rugs the same? No, at such a significant price difference, it’s no surprise that the Serena & Lily rug is a higher-quality double-tufted wool rug, while the look for less version is polyester.

So if you want to invest in a quality rug that you’ll have for 10+ years, I’d go for the splurge. But if you have a busy house with kids and dogs and know that whatever rug you get will need to be replaced in a few years, the look for less version is definitely the way to go.

Look for Less Serena & Lily Chairs

Riviera Rattan Dining Chairs

When you need between 4-10 chairs for around a dining table, the cost of new chairs adds up quickly! I have {these Riviera chairs} in the fog color around our kitchen table and absolutely love the style of them. They’ve held up really well too:

Want a similar look for less? When you buy {this set of 4 French bistro chairs}, the price per chair is about half the price of Serena & Lily’s chairs.

Splurge: Serena & Lily Riviera Chair  |  Save: Outdoor French Bistro Chairs (set of 4)

You can also buy the look for less chairs in a pair {here}.

The biggest difference between the splurge and save versions is what the frames are made of. The Serena & Lily chairs have a rattan frame, while the look for less version has an aluminum frame. I personally like the look of the rattan frame better, BUT the aluminum frame has the advantage of being usable both indoors and out.

That wraps up my favorite look for less finds! I hope you found a few new favorites that prove you don’t have to splurge to get a high-end look 🙌🏻

Enjoy the rest of your long weekend,
