For example , Costco stocks a tap for the bathroom that comes with the adapters needed for installation , so members don ’ t need to purchase them separately .
“ We want our members to have all the pieces they need when they walk out of the warehouse ,” says Ismail . “ Even the torches sold in the warehouse come with batteries included , so it ’ s one less item you need to worry about purchasing .”
Add extra space
As you spend more time in your home , one way to make the most of your space is to add an extra room . While extensions to your main house aren ’ t always possible , a garden studio , built to your specifications , is a way to add a home office , gym , workshop or even a space for teens to chill .
“ Our partner Green Retreats has an ecological policy that sets them apart ,” says Mandie Ratcliffe , kiosks buyer . “ The company ’ s factories , showroom and offices are carbon neutral . It also uses timber that is Forest Stewardship Council certified and sourced from sustainable forest programmes , and tries to use recycled or recyclable materials where possible .”
Say goodbye to clutter
Adding new bits isn ’ t the only way to freshen your home . Getting rid of clutter and organising what you have can help your space look fresher .
Storage baskets can provide a way to display flowers and other colourful items , while also helping you tidy away papers , toys , magazines and more . Strategically placed shoe storage can prevent both kids and adults from tripping over a pair of trainers in the living room .
“ Our mood and behaviour is directly correlated to our surroundings ,” Binstock tells the Connection . “ If we have a tidy and clean home , we are more likely to have a clear mind .”

“ Our goal is to offer the best product for the best price ,” says buyer Daniel Cook . “ We ’ ve got the top brands in warehouses and on our website , and we make sure that members get the quality they expect .”— RS
