You'd Never Know Costco's Stylish Couch Had Hidden Storage Built Right In

When it comes to living rooms, we can always use more storage. Whether you have blankets that need an organized home, kids toys that require corralling, or a stack of board games and puzzles that don't look aesthetically pleasing while stacked on a side table, having an extra storage spot would come in handy. But what if you don't have the extra room to add in a cabinet or chest? The next best thing is to choose furniture that can double as storage, such as the Thomasville Mokena Sofa from Costco. This stylish piece of furniture can not only seat you and your family comfortably, but it can also hide your clutter. 

Designed to look slightly mid-century modern without veering into being too retro, this clever piece has under-cushion storage with four pull tabs sticking out from under the seating. Simply use them to pull the cushions up, revealing an empty cavity underneath which is large enough to store all sorts of living room essentials. You can fit multiple blankets, your dog's chew toys, and even your work-from-home materials for those who like to work from the couch. Here is a closer look at the storage piece.

If you don't have enough room to wedge a storage chest into your living room, the Thomasville Mokena Sofa can take over that role. It's a great way to make the most of a small living room. This polyester velvet sofa is 87.5 inches long, which translates to a little over 7 feet long, making it a roomy two-seater. The cushions have a comfortable depth of 23.5 inches, allowing you to curl up in its deep seats rather than just perch. It has a solid wood base, adding a little bit of natural texture to the look and making it higher quality due to its weight. You can also choose between two colors: a deep olive green or a light gray. 

As for the storage itself, it's about 1 foot deep and looks like it can easily hold several folded blankets or a puffy throw pillow. Costing $899.99 online (which includes shipping) and $649.99 in store. There's also a matching chair you can purchase called the Mokena Fabric Accent Chair from Costco. It also comes in the same fabric and wood trim, though the chair features more of the wood, which frames the armrest. You can get it for $449.99 online or $299.99 in store.
