"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Nothing feels better than saving money on something pricey, and one of our favorite places to whip out this trick is at Serena & Lily, where anything can cost a few thousand. Yes, the coastal-inspired pieces, which range from large furniture to tiny decorations, occasionally go on sale, but who wants to wait around for a timely sale when you could snag a discount whenever you’re in the market to redecorate? Not us! So we chatted with the Serena & Lily Design Shops’ Senior Vice President, Allyson McGrath, for some insider tips on how to get the best deals, both online and in-person.

From visiting the Serena & Lily outlet to using the various free services, there are actually plenty of underrated ways to snag discounts. "Serena & Lily has an instantly recognizable look that's a fresh take on a traditional design," McGrath says. "You will want to live with your Serena & Lily products forever, and they will stand the test of time."

However, if you do want to shop a big sale, you may want to head to the website right now because Serena & Lily is in the throes of its Spring Design Event, which ends on March 26. If you shop now you can score 25 percent off bedroom furniture, bedding, rugs, and chairs; 30 percent off outdoor furniture; 20 percent off dining furniture, sofas, side tables, and lighting; 15 percent off new arrivals; and up to 70 percent off clearance.

Next, peep all of McGrath's tips for shopping smarter not harder.

Take Advantage of Free Services

Did you know Serena & Lily offers a slew of helpful design services that are completely free? From SCAD-trained advisors who can show you how certain pieces will look in your home to curated mood boards, there are a lot of ways to create a stylish design without paying extra.

"Serena & Lily also has a floor planner for anything from small questions to larger projects, including a room redesign or the whole house," McGrath notes. Additionally, there are unlimited free textile and wallpaper swatches in the design shops that don’t require an appointment to peruse, and complimentary upholstery customization in the design shops.

Shop the Sales

"Twice a year, Serena & Lily stores have floor model sales, so signing up for emails to be notified of such events is a great idea," McGrath adds. "We also have VIP sale alerts that you can hear about by following the brand on Instagram."

Because these sales happen only twice per year, the best-selling items tend to disappear quickly, so don't think twice about the pieces you've been coveting. Create a list now, be ready when the sale begins, and feel free to bookmark House Beautiful's Serena & Lily Sale page which we constantly update with the top markdowns.

Visit the Serena & Lily Outlet

It’s not often that luxury retailers have outlet locations, but Serena & Lily does! In fact, there are four Serena & Lily outlets that have "samples, overstocks, and second-quality items," according to McGrath. The outlets are in California and South Carolina, so if you happen to be in either of those states, make a pit stop and grab best-sellers for less.

Save on Bedding and Bath

This is a big one. So last, but not least, Serena & Lily is as much a destination for plush bedding and bath goods as it is for coastal-chic furniture. Since the brand is so set on securing its place as a haven for towels, pillows, and duvet covers, it enacted the Bedding & Bath Promise, which lets you use your new wares for up to 60 days with free shipping and returns.
