Costco home organization products: The best items and deals you can get right now
From stackable storage bins and pantry organizers to rolling shelves and closet systems, Costco has plenty of options for tackling clutter without turning organization into a major project
Getting a home organized often starts with a simple problem: there is more stuff than available space.
For Costco shoppers, however, the challenge can be even greater because buying household essentials in bulk can quickly create a storage headache.
That is one reason the so-called " Costco closet" trend has gained attention. Instead of scattering bulk purchases throughout the home, organizers recommend creating a dedicated area where items such as paper products, cleaning supplies, snacks and other household necessities can be stored together.
Good Housekeeping reports that the approach is designed to make bulk shopping easier to manage while keeping everyday kitchen and pantry areas less crowded.
Costco's own Storage & Organization section currently covers several categories, including closet organizers, laundry and room storage, storage bins and containers, shelving, and moving supplies.
The retailer also has separate selections for garage storage, bookshelves, food storage and outdoor storage.
For shoppers looking for flexible storage rather than a complete renovation, bins are an obvious place to start.
The Greenmade 12 Gallon Storage Bin 4-pack is one of the products currently highlighted by Costco . The heavy-duty plastic containers have snap-on lids, ergonomic handles and recessed tops designed for stacking.
Costco says the bins can be used in garages, closets, basements, offices and food-storage areas, giving them plenty of flexibility around the house.
Another useful option is the Greenmade InstaCrate Collapsible Storage Bin 4-pack. Collapsible containers can be particularly useful when storage needs change because they can be folded down when they are not being used.
Costco also lists the Greenmade 27 Gallon Storage Bin 8-pack among its durable storage options, giving shoppers a larger-capacity alternative for bulkier possessions.
Pantry and closet organizers can make smaller spaces work harder
For kitchens and pantries, Costco currently highlights several iDESIGN products, including the Kitchen Bins 4-piece Set and Pantry Bins 6-piece Set.
The retailer also lists iDESIGN Linus Deep Storage Bins and an eight-piece set of stacking open-front pantry bins. These types of containers can help group similar products together while making items easier to see and retrieve.
Shelving is another area worth considering, especially for a dedicated Costco closet. Costco lists TRINITY five-tier shelving units with wheels, as well as a four-tier corner wire shelving rack.
Mobile shelving can be useful in garages, laundry rooms or storage spaces where access to different sides of the room matters.
For larger spaces, Costco also carries garage-focused options such as NewAge Products storage systems and SafeRacks overhead storage racks.
These products can turn unused wall or ceiling space into additional capacity, which can be particularly valuable when floor space is limited.
The key, though, is not simply buying more containers.
Good Housekeeping's organizing experts warn that storage products should be selected according to the space and the items being stored.
Adjustable or adaptable solutions can be more useful than products designed for one very specific purpose, while poorly chosen oversized containers can actually contribute to clutter.
That advice also applies to the Costco closet concept. Shira Gill, organizing expert and author of LifeStyled, told Good Housekeeping: “I’ve learned that when it comes to designing a bulk storage closet on a budget, every square inch counts, especially in smaller spaces.”
She recommends removing unnecessary packaging from bulk purchases and making use of bins or floor baskets rather than automatically spending heavily on custom shelving.
For shoppers, that means the best Costco organization purchase may depend less on the most elaborate system and more on what problem needs solving.
A few storage bins could be enough to tame seasonal clothing or holiday decorations. Pantry containers can bring order to bulk food purchases, while rolling shelves can make a garage or laundry area easier to navigate.
Costco's current organization range gives shoppers options at several levels, from simple bins and baskets to complete shelving systems. With the right combination, the retailer's bulk-buying model can become easier to manage rather than a source of additional clutter.
