6 Costco Home Upgrades That Look Luxe for Far Less
You don’t need to spend thousands remodeling your kitchen or bathroom to make your home look more expensive. Replacing one old feature, like a basic faucet or builder-grade light, can make an entire room feel newer.
Even a minor kitchen remodel costs a median of $20,000, according to the 2026 U.S. Houzz Kitchen Trends Study. Fortunately, there are ways to give off the aura of a full remodel at a fraction of the cost when you know where to shop.

Don't Stop Now: The Best Costco Buys To Grab Now For Fall
1. Feit 48-Foot LED String Lights
Price: $26.99
A patio needs a reason for people to stay outside even when the sun goes down.
Hang these Feit LED string lights above your deck or backyard table and the space suddenly feels ready for dinner and drinks. Each 48-foot cord comes with 24 vintage-style bulbs that give off a warm glow. The bulbs are shatter-resistant and made to stay outdoors.
2. Delta Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet
Price: $214.99
The kitchen faucet sits out in plain view and gets used every day. If yours looks like it came with the house 20 years ago, replacing it can make the whole sink area feel newer.
At 18 inches tall, this Delta pull-down faucet gives a basic sink the commercial-style look common in remodeled kitchens. The wand pulls down to fill pots or rinse the entire basin and switches from a steady stream to a wider spray for dishes.
More than 2,000 Costco shoppers give it 4.7 stars, with reviewers praising both its appearance and everyday usefulness.
3. Artika Edwin LED Chandelier Ceiling Fan
Price: $59.99
Most ceiling fans are designed for function, not looks. The Artika Edwin hides its blades inside a 23-inch LED fixture that looks more like a modern chandelier than a standard fan.
The remote controls three fan speeds, brightness and an automatic timer. One verified buyer said the compact fan was powerful enough for her large, vaulted living room and that she was considering buying more for other rooms.
Costco currently sells it for $59.99, which is a steal compared to Artika’s $219.99 price.
4. Faux 4-Foot Cedar Trees
Price: $89.99 for two
Some homes feel put together before you even walk through the door. A matching pair of trees helps create that first impression at the entrance.
These 4-foot faux cedar trees can do the same beside a pool, fireplace or outdoor sofa. They are UV-resistant and come in grower pots that you can drop into larger planters to match your space. You get that elevated, symmetrical look without watering, trimming or replacing a tree.
At about $45 each, the set has 4.7 stars from over 300 Costco shoppers.
5. Kohler Terzet Bath Accessory Set
Price: $54.99 to $74.99
A bathroom can have a nice vanity and fresh towels, yet still look thrown together when the metal finishes do not match.
This three-piece Kohler set replaces the towel bar, hand-towel ring and toilet paper holder at once. Choose chrome, brushed nickel, matte black or gold to coordinate with the faucet and shower hardware already in the room.
Costco includes the mounting hardware and installation templates. For less than $75, matching those small details can make the bathroom feel finished.
6. Wyatt & Ash Washable Area Rug
Price: $149.99
A living room can have nice furniture and still look unfinished when every piece seems to float on its own. A large rug pulls the seating area together and makes the layout feel deliberate.
At nearly 8 feet by 10 feet, this Wyatt & Ash washable rug is large enough to sit beneath a sofa, coffee table and chairs. It has a low profile and skid-resistant backing to help keep it in place.
The rug can also be machine-washed, although Costco recommends a front-loading washer with at least 5 cubic feet of capacity. More than 1,400 shoppers give it 4.4 stars.
