Cozymaxxing: the TikTok interiors trend transforming Irish homes this autumn/winter

From velvet throws to personal reading nooks, cozymaxxing is the interiors trend helping Irish homes become sanctuaries of comfort

Cozymaxxing can involve arriving home, taking off our shoes, enjoying the feel of a soft rug, or sitting down on a cosy couch, in our own space, surrounded by items that make us feel comfortable, according to Maura Mackey, Maura Mackey Design (interior design by Maura pictured).

YOU TURN the lighting down, maybe light a candle, nestle into your deep sofa, snuggle into the soft cushions, drape your velvet throw over your legs, and feel your shoulders relax as you take a sip of your evening cup of tea. You’re cozymaxxing.

Like many viral trends these days, cozymaxxing gained traction on TikTok in early 2025. As the name suggests, it’s all about maxing out the cosy factor, cocooning yourself in comfort through your clothing, self-care, and your home interiors.
