Costco is now infiltrating the house design process as homeowners who love Costco and other wholesale clubs are making it as easy as possible to drag those packages of 24 rolls of toilet paper and 18 rolls of paper towels into the kitchen with ease.

It's being termed the "Costco door," according to a Yahoo Finance report, and essentially offers a short route from the garage to the pantry or the kitchen area. No need to lug heavy bags or drink packs through the house.

A homeowner on Instagram recently showed off the Costco door in a reel.

Custom home company Canyon Point told the Washington Post that about half of their customers now ask for a 2-by-2-foot Costco door, according to the Yahoo report.
