To help you find the best pieces, Insider asked

Sarah Nelson, senior interior designer at
Spacejoy, to share which items she'd buy from
the wholesale store this month.

Read on to see her top picks.

Costco's brass-style lamps are modern and

edgy, but also reasonably priced.

Lighting elements can change the whole design of a

room. Costco

Lighting features always find a way to be

sneaky high-cost items in designs, according
to Nelson.

"I think most people forget how much lighting

is needed in a room to make it feel cozy," she
told Insider. "I love looking at Costco for
lighting because it offers a great assortment
of sets."

One of her favorites is the two-piece set of

Oliver metal table lamps.

These simple column-style lamps are modern

and edgy without being too much, according
to the designer, and brass-style lamps like this
would easily cost double the price at any
other retailer.

Add visual movement to your home with this

tall chest of drawers.

The chest adds vertical interest to a room. Costco

Costco also has a great selection of dressers

for a variety of design styles. One of Nelson's
favorites is the Rivana high chest — which is
well-suited for mid-century modern or rustic
homes.

"It has a live-edge appearance, and the wavy

lines are great for adding visual movement in
your room," she told Insider.

The wood color is also a great warm shade to

add a cozy feeling to your space.

This nightstand from Costco is beautiful and

also offers substantial storage.

The nightstand pairs nicely with the tall dresser. Costco

"I don't always subscribe to being matchy-

matchy with nightstands and dressers, but
the Rivana nightstand is too perfect to pass
up," the designer told Insider.

She added, "It would pair beautifully with the

Rivana dresser, but also any other dresser
that uses natural wood or warmer wood
tones, like acorn finishes."

Normally nightstands at this price point lack

quality storage, Nelson explained, but the
Rivana nightstand is a larger piece that offers
two substantial drawers.

Costco's cement planters add the perfect

modern touch to any room.

Cement adds a natural element to a room. Costco

Plants can make any room feel more inviting,

but finding stylish and affordable planters can
be a challenge.

Costco comes to the rescue with its Vita Växa

planters, according to Nelson, who said they
add the perfect modern or mid-century
modern touch to any room.

"The cement planter adds a great natural

texture to the room and the black stand
provides a neutral color to add into your color
palette," she told Insider.

The sizing is also perfect for larger plants like

fiddle-leaf figs and snake plants.

Elevate your home by incorporating a glam

element, like these ivory faux-fur pillows.

These pillows would work nicely on a dark sofa. Costco

"I love a good glam moment in a room,"

Nelson told Insider. "Whether that is adding
glam elements with brass accents or lots of
textures, every room is heightened with these
sorts of touches."

One way to add this element is with Costco's

ivory faux-fur pillow.

It's super soft, and it's perfect to contrast

against darker colored sofas or smoother tan
leather, the designer suggested.

Costco's Moroccan-style rug is one of the

most versatile and durable at the store.

This durable rug is a great option for people with young

children. Costco

"I am a big fan of Moroccan-style rugs,"

Nelson told Insider. "I personally love a rug
that is a bit shaggier, since they are so cozy to
both walk and sit on."

This patterned rug from Costco is perfect for

people with children since it is made of olefin,
a stain-resistant material, Nelson said.

Besides its durability, Moroccan-style rugs can

fit within a number of designs, from glam to
rustic and transitional to modern.

Trick your guests into believing your lighting is

more expensive than it is with this textured
ceramic lamp.

The lamp looks a lot more expensive than it actually is.

If you're interested in lighting for buffets or

console tables, large-scale lamps are the way
to go, according to Nelson.

The Bradley textured ceramic lamp from

Costco is both classic and modern. And at 30
inches high, two of these would look amazing
on a longer console table.

Additionally, the subtle ceramic texture and

brass detailing make this lamp look much
more expensive than it actually is, Nelson
explained.

"It's not abnormal to see lamps like this in the

$500 range, but this is one-third of that
price," she told Insider. "It's such a steal."

This glam table lamp can totally set the mood

of the room.

The frosted glass gives the light a diffused glow. Costco

On the same topic of lighting, Costco has an

amazing selection of lamps for industrial,
rustic, and even glam decor styles, like this
Glen Park Studio eclipse glass globe table
lamp.

"I personally really love a boutique/glam

design style and this lamp really adds that
interesting element to a room," Nelson said.

Plus, since the glass is frosted, it will emit a

more diffused light.

Incorporate a gallery wall into your space with

Costco's frame set.

You can pair all the frames together on a wall or space

them out. Costco

One of Nelson's favorite design elements to

add to client spaces is a gallery wall, which is
the perfect space to mix in family photos,
artwork, and travel memorabilia.

But frames can quickly add up, which is why

the designer recommends looking for sets,
like Costco's Mikasa four-piece white frames.

"Depending on the size of your space, using

one or two of these sets to display
meaningful items can create a powerful
design statement in your room," she told
Insider. "I love the variety of the frame sizes in
this kit, and the white frames are easy to mix
with other woods and metals in the room."

Costco's large-scale artwork is both stunning

and bargain-priced.

Artwork of this size doesn't often go for this price.

"I really love the Balance and Harmony art

piece," Nelson told Insider. "It's over 30 inches
by 40 inches in size and under $250."

The neutral, modern abstract piece would

work great in a front entry, over a large
fireplace, or above a sofa, she recommended.
And the gold detailing in this piece makes it
feel more special.

The artwork has an elegant touch that you

can bounce around the room with other gold
accents, she added.

Transform your space by adding a neutral rug.

This rug is soft and neutral. Costco

A rug can make or break a room, Nelson said.

So it's important to find something that's
neutral, durable, and soft.

The vapor Calvin Klein rug available at Costco

checks all of those boxes.

"It's a low-pile-height rug and has a very soft

feeling thanks to the viscose," the designer
told Insider. "The pattern is super neutral and
would work great in modern, mid-century
modern, and transitional rooms."

It also comes in a variety of sizes, so you can

find the perfect one for your room.
