Costco's Hands Down Best Products If You're Planning A Kitchen Remodel

Remodeling a kitchen is one of the best home improvements you can make. Putting the value a new kitchen adds to a home aside, considering how much time we spend in our kitchens, the money, work, and patience is most times well-worth it. If you're planning a kitchen renovation and looking for quality and excellent workmanship, the good news is that you don't need to scour the streets of Milan to seek out high-end faucets, countertops, cabinetry, and more. You might be surprised to hear that all it takes is a short trip to your local Costco (or an even shorter trip to the chain's website).

While Costco is great for bulk rice, toilet paper, and even funeral urns (if that's what you need), you can pick up a wide range of high-quality kitchen products for your remodel. By partnering with a range of local and international brands, Costco offers its members exclusive deals on top-tier products, direct delivery, and extended warranties. If you're on a tight budget, of course the chain has plenty of those products as well. We're talking Tuscan Hills cabinetry, Hansgrohe faucets, Bali blinds, custom countertops, tech-infused appliances, and more.

Whether you are launching a full gut renovation or looking to focus on cosmetic kitchen upgrades, it's worth checking out the extensive and often affordable range that Costco has on offer. So, before you book those flights to Italy, send your contractor in to Costco to find the perfect match for your new kitchen plans or head there yourself if you're doing a DIY kitchen remodel. Here are a few of the best Costco kitchen remodel products to look out for.

Your kitchen cabinetry can elevate the entire style of your kitchen if you get it right or completely ruin it if you get it wrong. Costco made a smart move by partnering with Tuscan Hills to offer exclusive kitchen cabinetry across three brands, with each one priced at far below what you'd expect to pay at boutique showrooms. Each of the brands, Ultimo Custom Cabinetry, Market Street Semi-Custom Cabinetry, and Value Express Cabinetry, is tailored depending on how much you're willing to spend.

For homeowners looking for quality cabinetry that doesn't break the bank, Value Express Cabinetry is a solid option. Market Street Semi-Custom Cabinetry is a good range to go with if you need a bit of customization without having to go the full-custom route. A good example is where you're looking to increase or decrease the depth of your cabinets. 

Ultimo Custom Cabinetry, the most luxurious of the three, is hand-built and custom-made to your specific needs. If you have designer appliances that you want to build into the cabinetry, it's the one to go with. You can also use Ultimo's virtual design service, which provides renders of the space before they go into production.

The catch with all three brands is that you can't simply go into a Costco to see them in person. You can only order online from the Costco website. Color options depend on whether you go with Ultimo Custom Cabinetry, Market Street Semi-Custom Cabinetry, or Value Express Cabinetry, with Ultimo offering an expansive range. The warranty period depends on which of the three you go for.

If you want a kitchen that makes a statement, a faucet is not just a functional addition to the space. With the right product, you can create a focal point at your sink, one that complements the rest of your kitchen design. One such brand is Hansgrohe. It's easy to overspend on a faucet, though, but with Costco you can still get great value without compromising on style. The range of Costco's Hansgrohe kitchen faucets isn't exactly expansive, but the chain lists enough to cater to a variety of kitchen styles.

Known around the world for offering a sleek design and construction hardy enough to tackle whatever the kids can throw at it, Hansgrohe is more than just a safe bet. You could go with the classic Hansgrohe Cento Kitchen Faucet, which is a good faucet to consider if you're looking for style and simplicity, or you could opt for the Cento Semi-Pro Kitchen Faucet, which comes with two spray modes and a 360 degree swivel. If you're looking to splash out a bit (see what we did there), the Allegro High Arc Kitchen Faucet comes with a baseplate and soap dispenser.

For each of the Hansgrohe faucets from Costco, you can choose from a few different colors, including black chrome, gold, stainless steel, and more. If you're not sold on the hype around Hansgrohe, take a look at the customer reviews on the Costco website. You might change your mind after reading a few.

If you're looking to add high-quality blinds to your new kitchen, Costco sells the Bali Blinds range, giving you a custom fit that you can easily install yourself. You can choose from a range of colors and textures and decide on exactly how much you want to control the light. If you're not sure on the specific color that will fit with your kitchen style, you can order complimentary swatches to try before you buy. Bali is so confident in its blinds that you'll get a lifetime warranty (although the fine print does state it's 'limited').

The materials you can choose from include faux wood, composite, vinyl, aluminum, and wood, with each one coming in different sizes. If you're looking to block extra light coming through, with the aluminum products you can order them with added light-blocking technology. If you're looking for the top of the range, you might want to choose the 2" Northern Heights Elite Wood Blinds, or you can achieve the same look with the faux wood options. If you have patio doors leading off from the kitchen, Bali's Sheer Enchantment Vertical Blinds is the one to go with. If you're looking for vertical blinds for a smaller window in the kitchen, you can get those as well.

To help with a DIY blind installation, Bali has a variety of how-to guides and videos that will give you all the info you need to install them exactly as required. Whichever Bali Binds product you go for, it's a reputable brand and a great addition to the Costco offering.

If you're looking to add a smart fridge to your new kitchen that's built for a large family, the LG 29 cu. ft. Smart Standard-Depth MAX 4-Door French Door model will tick a lot of boxes. It's big enough to stock a huge amount of groceries, it's packed with tech, and is designed to be more than just a refrigerator. First up, unless you're sitting on quite a bit of extra cash, this is not an appliance you just pop out to buy. It comes with a hefty price tag, but if you're looking for a kitchen feature that will attract attention, it's worth saving up for.

Starting with the size, you won't be disappointed. One Reddit user said they had to have the doors taken off so that it would fit through their front door. It's big. For the look, it's designed with minimalism in mind. You won't find any controls, dials or knobs on the doors, with the pocket handle design offering a sleek and stylistic addition to your new kitchen. It connects directly to your phone via the LG app, where you can control things like temperature and lighting, and has slam-resistant doors that will work for even the most angst-ridden teenager.

Why buy it from Costco? As a member, you'll benefit from membership savings, which, depending on when you order the refrigerator, includes a $500 reduction. If you buy other appliances, you can get extra savings on top of that as well. The price also includes delivery and installation, and you'll get a two-year warranty.

A stylish kitchen island can add a functional space to the center of your kitchen while complementing the overall look of the space. With the Caine Kitchen Island, which you can get from Costco for around $400, you'll get a combination of quality materials that do more than just look good. The quartz countertop will give you a great prep space to work on, while the four storage drawers will hold your knives, spices, cutlery, kitchen towels, or whatever else you need close at hand while you work.

The base is made with rubberwood solids and birch veneers, with each of the drawers featuring stylistic handles and soft-close glides. Underneath the drawers you'll find two extra storage shelves, which is a great place to add your favorite cookery books, crockery, or other bits and pieces. Overall, the kitchen island is sturdy, and you can expect it to last. If anything goes wrong, you'll be covered with Costco's 100% satisfaction guarantee available to all members.

If you're wondering if it'll fit into your new kitchen, it measures in at a width of 53.7 inches, depth of 30 inches, and height of 35.9 inches. It's not exactly light, with a weight of almost 250 pounds. This is great if you're an expressive home cook, as the island won't move around as you work. If you buy it from Costco, the price includes delivery, setup, and packaging removal.

If you want to give your renovation a designer edge without paying hefty contractor prices, wood slat walls can completely transform a variety of areas in your kitchen. As a nod to the 70's, wooden paneling is a trend that has come back into fashion, contrasting the crisp and clean look that comes with all-white kitchens. Kitchens today are leaning more into the harmonious and tranquil look, and wood paneling is a great way to achieve this. At Costco, you can get your hands on the Artika Panolok Slat Wall products, offered in two different colors.

Available in oak and walnut finishes, the Panolok set comes in an eight-pack of interlocking panels that fit seamlessly together. The panels, which are 5.91 inches by 93.5 inches in size each, interlock together with a tongue-and-groove design. Each panel is made from pine and reinforced with a layer of PVC for durability. While you can choose from the two colors, you can also paint them to match the rest of your kitchen space.

Each pack of eight will cover nearly 31 square feet and come with end and corner caps to finish them off. This Costco product is a breeze for kitchen DIY enthusiasts, with the installation being not much more than locking the panels together and then fixing them to the wall with adhesive like Loctite and a nail finisher. If DIY is not your thing, just hand it over to the contractor.

Heading back to kitchen appliances for your kitchen remodel, if you're looking for an oven that is far more than just a standard oven, Costco has an electric range that may just tick a lot of boxes for you. The retailer sells the Samsung 6.3 cu. ft freestanding electric oven that incorporates not only an air fryer but also gives you two ovens in one. You can either use the entire oven space to cook one large meal, like a delicious roast recipe, or split it into two where you can use two different temperatures. Samsung calls this "Flex Duo," which is a handy bit of tech that'll save you time if you're looking to prepare two smaller meals at the same time.

As for the look, the stainless steel build will complement a variety of kitchen designs, whether you're going for a clean modern kitchen or a more rustic farmhouse kitchen design. You can choose either traditional stainless steel or go for the black option. The control panel is slim, but you still get a vintage touch with large knobs to control the temperature. On the front, you'll get tinted glass.

Costco customers give it 4 stars out of 5, with a lot of people raving about the dual cooking tech, intuitive controls, and that it's quiet even with the air fryer on. It comes with a two-year warranty, and the price includes delivery and installation. If you're looking to save a bit extra, go with the standard stainless steel, which comes in at $80 less than the black.

If you're looking for a truly American brand to add to your renovated kitchen, Delta is a solid option to go with. The company manufactures a variety of kitchen faucets and sinks, all made in the U.S. While Costco stocks a few products from the brand, one particular item that may pique your interest is the 30" Undermount 16 Gauge Workstation Sink with 18" Kitchen Faucet. You get to choose from a few different colors and finishes, including brushed nickel, chrome, matte black, and even gold.

What we love about this product is the total combo. It comes with a semi-pro faucet featuring a pull-down spray wand to make cleaning up a breeze, but that's not we love about this Costco product. It's the built-in cutting board, dish rack, grid, and drain assembly that stands out the most. It excels at functionality.

Its clean design will complement a marble kitchen counter installation as well as a more natural wooden one, and it comes with a lifetime limited warranty. It hits a high 4.6 out of 5, with the overall quality being a standout for customers. A lot of people love its overall size, with the drainage grate being another standout feature for some. Overall, it's a great combo workstation sink deal that Costco often runs specials on if you're buying online.

If you're looking for a kitchen sink that gives you a bit more flexibility and functionality, the Trinity 32" x 16" Stainless Steel Utility Sink with Pull-out Faucet might be a good option for you. It's built from heavy-duty 16-gauge, 304-grade stainless steel, designed to tackle quite a bit more than just dirty dishes. It gives you generous space, with a 26.6-gallon capacity and depth of 24 inches. It'll function just as well for cleaning your dogs as it will your cutlery and crockery.

Costco sells the product for around $560, which is a lot less than what you would pay if you bought it from Trinity direct. What we like about this utility sink is that it's freestanding, which means you don't need to build your new kitchen around it and can easily install it yourself. Customers love the great design, engineering, and overall finish, as well as the pure size of it. It gets an overall 4.5 out of 5 from Costco customers.

It's a great option for your laundry room, with the heavy-grade steel designed to take on a variety of tasks and can hold a lot more weight than a standard sink. The pull-out faucet is particularly handy for all sorts of jobs.

A renovation would not be complete without considering the best countertop for your kitchen. Costco partnered with a brand called Cosentino to offer custom kitchen countertops that don't come with the hefty designer fees. Cosentino hails from Spain, with the family-owned manufacturer producing a range of kitchen countertops to complement a variety of kitchen designs. You'll get to choose from over 200 colors, textures, and finishes, all made from high-quality materials.

With Cosentino, there's no need to source independent contractors and fabricators. If you're not entirely sure on which of the products to go for, with Costco you can schedule a complimentary in-home consultation to chat through the various options to find the perfect countertop for your specific space. They'll take all the necessary measurements and help you with the product selection. If you do choose to go with Cosentino, Costco offers a 10% shop card that comes with qualifying products.

What we like about Consentino is that you can consider their range for the rest of your home if you're planning a broader renovation, whether this be your bathrooms, outdoor areas, and even a fireplace. With an expansive range of durable custom countertops and the added services you'll get by buying through Costco, it's a solid option to go with. The added bonus with Consentino is their approach to sustainability. If this matters to you, you'll like that the brand takes a sustainable approach to all its products.

When we set off to compile this list of Costco kitchen remodeling products, we took a close look at more than just the prices. While presenting products that are cost-effective was important, we really wanted to hear what Costco customers had to say about them. We looked at customer reviews not only on the Costco site but on other platforms as well.

We also looked at products that are built to tackle the messy, real-world demands of a busy household. While custom reviews gave us some insight here, the materials that these products are made from were also considered, combined with how they actually look. So, we looked at both function and form.

Lastly, as a great kitchen upgrade shouldn't mean overspending, we wanted to choose products where there was a good reason to purchase from Costco as opposed to doing so from the company directly. This included built-in savings, like delivery and installation, as well as extended warranties and workmanship guarantees.
