11 Things You Should ALWAYS Buy at Costco, According to Designers
Bedding, smart storage and everything in between.
Costco is one of those stores that truly has it all. With just one run to your local warehouse, you can find just about anything you need for your home, be it healthy food options (don't skip the produce section!), cleaning supplies or comfy bedding. You don't have to blow your budget either.
But since navigating the store or even shopping online can be a bit overwhelming for some people, we couldn't help but turn to the pros for some guidance. Ahead, interior designers reveal some of their go-to Costco buys that are worth adding to your cart.
While they often recommend these budget-friendly picks to clients, they use them in their own homes, too. You'll spot a stylish jute pouf for under $60, a stackable storage bin set, a luxe cashmere throw and much more. Go ahead and start making your list, and while you're at it, don't miss out on the best products from Costco's very own Kirkland Signature brand.
“We love subtle decor, and stemless glasses are always great for more casual summer entertaining and do double duty as wine glasses, or just for sparkling water and other beverages.” — Pierce Jordan, Shane & Pierce
“Summer is in full swing and one thing that Costco is consistent with is their outdoor selection. I love the resin planters for their perfect coloring. They add that pop to any outdoor space. They're also super lightweight, so you can maneuver them anywhere with ease.” — Rhobin DelaCruz, Rhobin DelaCruz Designs

“As a designer who deeply values the power of texture, I love this cashmere throw from Costco. It’s luxuriously soft, beautifully crafted and comes in timeless hues that elevate any space with ease. Whether layered across a sofa or styled at the foot of a bed, it adds an instant sense of comfort and quiet luxury. It also makes a wonderful client gift—thoughtful, elevated and always well received.” — Marie Cloud, Indigo Pruitt Design Studio
“These sheets are an incredible choice for the price: They’re extremely comfortable, and actually get softer after more washings. I love the crisp white set – it’s got the look and feel of a fancy hotel bed.” — Amy Peltier, Peltier Interiors
“The Kirkland brand sheets are surprisingly good quality. They have a high thread count, and they're durable. They also have stretchy bands on the corners of the fitted sheet so they tuck nice and tight.” — Patty Hampton, Refresh Your Space
“I rely on these storage bins for clean, cohesive organization throughout the home. They’re sturdy, stackable and the soft gray hue complements any design palette. I personally use them to store decor and product samples between client installs—they help keep my studio tidy without sacrificing style. Whether in a garage, closet or creative workspace, they’re a go-to for smart, streamlined storage.” — Marie Cloud, Indigo Pruitt Design Studio
