Retro patio umbrellas have gone viral – these are my 9 super affordable favorites in the Memorial Day sales
I love hosting at this time of year. Hosting in the fall, for me is far more stressful and takes far more organizing. But for the summer, I have a bit of an open-door policy at weekends – friends and family come over to sit in the yard, and enjoy whatever food and drink I can cobble together, expectations are low but the vibes are high.
So I treat my yard with as much care and attention as my kitchen or living room. as it really does become the heart of the home during summer. That means I am always looking out for those key pieces that are going to make the space even more inviting. And right now, top of my list is a patio umbrella. Specifically, a whimsical, slightly retro umbrella.
These seem to have gone viral on social media as a quick way to give any patio a resort-like feel. And I was so surprised when I started shopping at how affordable these pieces can be, made even more affordable in the Memorial Day sales that are happening right now. I am going to share my top finds, some of which are under $100 and have super quick delivery.
9 beautiful bargain patio umbrella not to miss
8.5' Sunbrella Two-Tone Pagoda Umbrella
This is an insane saving, and the proof is in how quickly it's selling. Some of the other colorways are sold out already, so move fast on this one. I love a stripe, and blue and white is classic, giving that luxury hotel poolside feel. But there are plenty more shades to choose from to suit your patio.
Market Umbrella
Lulu & Georgia is my go-to for chic outdoor pieces, and there's currently 20% off sitewide. I love the vintage style of this umbrella, again stripes, but also again there are so very lovely solid colorways to choose from too.
Beach Umbrella
From blue and white stripes to red and white stripes. This beach umbrella isn't all form and no function though, it has a tilt function so you can move it to create shade where you need to. It also all packs into a very handy carry bag so you can take it from patio to beach.
Seazul 6.5ft Patio Umbrella with Fringe
This is such a bargain. You can create that viral vintage look for under $90 with this Amazon patio umbrella. The reviews are great too (something I always check when a price seems too good to be true). The pictures shared in the reviews section look great quality for the price too.
Correia 106.3'' Tilt Market Umbrella
A mix between a patio umbrella that's purely for looks and one that's more practical, this Wayfair offering perfectly balances the two and for such an amazing price. You've got the shape of a very chic umbrella, but the fabric is waterproof and UV-resistant. It's also tiltable for all-day shade.
Manford 108'' Market Umbrella
An absolute classic for a great price. The wooden pole makes this look so much more expensive too. And there are 16 other shades to choose from which you can order free samples of if you can decide.
Business & Pleasure Co. Amalfi Umbrella
This is a great price for Anthropologie. The umbrella is water and UV-resistant, and there are three on-trend colors to choose from too. Something to note is that the gorgeous umbrella base isn't included, but it's also in the sale.
Iago 108'' Tilt Market Umbrella
Add a splash of sunshine to your patio whatever the weather with this lovely yellow umbrella. The scalloped edge gives it that vintage feel that's so on trend right now. There are thousands of great reviews for this piece too, and the reduction in price is huge.
9' Round Color-Blocked Outdoor Patio Market Umbrella
This colorful sun umbrella is from Shea McGee's range at Target, which makes her iconic modern farmhouse style incredibly budget-friendly. The pole is wooden, which I always think looks nicer than metal or plastic.
I'm convinced that a patio umbrella is the cheapest and chicest way to instantly update your outdoor space. And with so many deals going on over Memorial Day weekend this is the perfect time to buy one to last you all summer.
