It's a Wrap

Nearing the end of 2025, we take a look at the most popular products, launches, out-reach and awards in what has been a super-busy year for EZ Living Interiors

In a year of achievements and developments, it’s also been one where customers have shown just how discerning they are when it comes to style choices, revealed in their buying habits over the last 12 months.

It’s made the family-friendly Orson corner sofa, the versatile Cloud four-piece modular, and the Isaac with its mid-century style three of the top sofa buys for 2025, followed by the Dynamo electric and Levi Power with their recliner features for maximum lounging.

Colour choices have been big on neutrals but trending tones like tan in the Scott leather sofa and the olive green Gemma are hits and set to stay as nature-inspired tones never go out of fashion.

Dining table choices have shown wooden tables like the Athens with its traditional styling and the more industrial Indus rustic oak, were among the top buys.

Ceramic tops came into their own this year lending themselves to the cloth-free look. Among them are the Argento oval swivel which extends for extra guests and the Calia round which becomes an oval when extended, showing how customers are seeing the value of innovative and flexible products.

It looks like we’ve developed a love of showing off our tabletops as we steer away from the high back dining chair to make the mid-century style Albany and the contemporary Santino top sellers. Both slot nicely against a table rim for an unhindered view of a gorgeous tablescape.

In the bedroom, luxury and tradition trump the contemporary streamlined look as the button-upholstered Darcey and Florence bed frames, and the Clementine with its nod to antique Georgian lines, have been the most in demand. All having fabric headboards, EZ Living Interiors customers have made it clear they love their comfort.

In other news…

It’s been the year of the launch as a new store opened in Dundalk, the Wexford store relaunched its interiors experience with the hypnotic Keith Barry, and at HQ in Cork, the Eastgate Retail Park store celebrated its 10th birthday.

In-store events featured large, with Dublin’s Gulliver Retail Park store and the flagship Sandyford store launching the Artist in Residence programme which will carry through to spring 2026, allowing a curation of Irish artists to sell their works in-store commission-free.

Sandyford’s Parlour Room hosted the launch of the Style Stories podcast when our much-missed friend and brand ambassador, the late Hugh Wallace, created lasting memories with his inimitable warmth and wit in conversation with designer Brendan Courtney and House & Home editorial director, Sive O’Brien.

Community outreach continued in our role as a lead sponsor of this year's Cork Simon Ball, and our celebration of Earth Day with sustainability partner Hometree.

It was fun and fashion in the Belfast Boucher Road store which hosted the Miss Sustainability event. Partnering with Miss World NI on a fashion show where contestants were challenged to style an outfit shopped from local charity stores with just a £20 budget, the title and crown went to the wonderful Hannah Haycock.

But we also left the stores to go out to play at the PTSB Ideal Home Show, launching the Heritage Collection there, followed soon after by a glittering evening of celebration at the Retail Excellence Awards, winning the Furniture Store of the Year gong for the Sandyford flagship store.

Ready for a new year ahead, two own-brand collections have just launched; throws and cushions with something for all tastes, and mirrors and lamps to finish off a newly revamped room or get a new spring project going.
