Who wouldn’t want their garden or outdoor space to look like Soho House – am I right?! Those legendary striped sun loungers by the pool, anyone? Courtesy of the private members’ club’s homeware brand Soho Home, this high level of style also comes with an equally high price tag. And if like me, you can’t quite afford spending £1000s on garden furniture, I’ve found some budget-friendly Soho Home outdoor furniture lookalikes to indulge in instead.
For me, Soho Home’s outdoor range is some of the most aspirational and best garden furniture there is. If you’re not familiar with the brand, Soho Home is the homeware brand behind the Soho House clubs – and also the brand that furnishes every Soho House club around the globe. And much like the exclusive private members’ club franchise, Soho Home is known for being extremely stylish and pretty iconic – this goes for the brand’s outdoor furniture, too.
The Soho House sun loungers are among the brand’s most iconic pieces, as are its parasols – and I’ve managed to find alternatives for both. However, the one category of Soho Home garden furniture that’s impossible to find budget alternatives for are its garden sofas. And that’s because the brand makes some of the most unique and overall best outdoor sofas.

Soho Home
Reti Outdoor Dining Table, Glazed, Olive
Ceramic outdoor pieces are among the biggest garden furniture trends this year, whether it’s tiled or glazed – and this round dining table from Soho Home is the perfect example.
John Lewis
Glaze Round Outdoor Dining Table in Green
We’re starting strong with an alternative that’s so similar to Soho Home’s version that it’s hard to tell them apart. The same olive green shade, glazed finish and round shape – it’s all there.
Tuuci
Outdoor Octagonal Parasol
Soho Home’s range of parasols are made by a company called Tuuci, which also supplies all the Soho House clubs with their parasols. This particular design is inspired by the Soho House in Copenhagen.
Cox & Cox
Fabienne Parasol
Cox & Cox has some of the best parasols on offer – and its designs easily rival Soho Home’s. Just take the Fabienne, boasting a similar shape and decorative trim, the only difference is the colour. And with code STYLE25 you can get 25% off.
Soho Home
Fawn Outdoor Armchair, Sage
This garden armchair has a lovely retro look with its curved steel frame and sage green cushions with a contrasting piped trim. And it’s been so popular that it’s currently out of stock.

Studio 70 Reclining Lounger with Cushions
Soho Home
Noah Outdoor Sunlounger, Off White
While most of the best wooden garden furniture is made with teak, acacia or eucalyptus wood, Soho Home favours iroko wood instead which is what this timeless sun lounger is made of.
Beliani
Marcetelli Acacia Sun Lounger with Cushion
Made with mor traditional acacia wood, this sun lounger features a similar streamlined design with a multi-level reclining feature, much like the Soho Home lounger.
I’ve already said that I’m a big fan of Soho Home. But I find a £6000 parasol pretty outrageous, even if it’s as beautiful as this one, featuring a striped interior.
Dakota Fields
Outdoor Sasha Crank Umbrella
Apart from the striped interior, the biggest selling point of the Soho Home parasol is the scalloped edge and the square shape. And this Wayfair design delivers both for a fraction of the price.
Soho Home
Celia Outdoor Sunlounger, Geometric, Natural
Aside from the more traditional-looking sun loungers, Soho Home also offers more contemporary styles like this upholstered number, covered in a geometric print.
Cox & Cox
Edlington Lounger
While the Cox & Cox version doesn’t come with that striking geometric print, the Soho Home sun lounger was available in a plain cream fabric last year – and the Cox & Cox Edlington lounger looks so like it.
Soho Home
Orion Outdoor Sunlounger, Off White
Made with teak wood, this sun lounger is special for its curved shape, carved pattern and the platform-style base.
Beliani
Granari Wooden Reclining Sun Lounger
Beliani makes some of the best sun loungers, while also offering one of the widest of ranges. Much like the Soho Home lounger, this one feature a similar style of a platform base and an multi-level reclining feature.
Soho Home furniture is known and loved for its high level of style, quality and uniqueness – which is why it’s quite challenging to find a like for like alternative for most of its pieces. But I’ve tried my best and I think some of these more affordable lookalikes are pretty good, so much so that I’d happily have them in my own outdoor space.
How about you – are you sticking with the original Soho Home pieces? Or has a budget alternative caught your eye?
