From dual wardrobes to personalised climate zones, “his and hers” styling is having a moment in 2025, and here’s how you can do it in your own home.
In today’s world, couples are no longer just dividing space – they’re creating a home that reflects individual lifestyles, while still feeling united and bringing a sense of luxury into their day-to-day.

“People want comfort that reflects their lifestyle, their schedules, and even their personal preferences,” says Atesh Mani, National Product Manager at Mitsubishi Electric Australia.
“Whether it’s a family with young kids who need the bedrooms cooler at night, or couples who simply prefer different temperatures, personalisation is a growing priority.”
And with personalisation comes not only a sense of luxury, but also control – because let’s be honest, if your home is 45 degrees in summer and 10 degrees in winter, that’s neither luxury nor control.
Here are five luxe trends leading the way.
1. Dual walk-in wardrobes
As the physical size of homes has grown, so too has the opportunity for individual storage.
“Every home has different comfort preferences,” says Mani.
While a walk-in wardrobe was once about space, now it’s about style and individuality.
A dual wardrobe set-up means the ability for a mix of styles, tones, layouts and storage preferences, providing flexibility for personalisation within the home.
2. Dual work-from-home zones
The rise of hybrid working has made the home office a priority. Increasingly, couples are planning two distinct workspaces – sometimes in separate rooms, sometimes divided within one larger area.
This allows each partner to customise their environment with the lighting, seating, tech and temperature that makes them most productive.

Mani sees parallels between the way couples personalise their work zones and how they want to manage comfort individually without a one-size-fits-all approach.
“With our ducted systems and zone controllers, you can turn zones on or off depending on whether the space is being used,” he explains.
This means you can personalise individual temperature preferences and manage energy use, allowing you to control your comfort.
3. Personalised climate control
Perhaps one of the most contested “his and hers” features is temperature.
Men and women often experience heat and cold differently, which can make shared living tricky. That’s why personalised climate control is quickly becoming as important as dual vanities or wardrobes.
Mitsubishi Electric’s Multi Split systems are designed with flexibility in mind. Multiple indoor units can be connected to a single outdoor unit, allowing each room to be set to its own temperature.
Controlling your comfort is simple with either individual hand-held or wall-mounted remote controllers.
“This gives every family member the ability to customise comfort in their own space,” Mani says.
Technology is also making personalised comfort “much more intuitive” he explains.
All Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners can connect to Wi-Fi, either through a built-in or optional interface. This gives end-users complete control of their system from your smartphone, tablet, or online account, anywhere, anytime! AP, EF, and LN models come with built-in Wi-Fi control as standard.
And with the LN Series, Mani adds, the 3D i-See Sensor goes further by detecting where people are in the room and directing airflow and temperature accordingly.
“These features give people more flexibility to set the comfort that works for them, while also helping save energy by avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling.”
“Homeowners are more informed now and are actively looking for solutions that can adapt to them.”
4. Double bathroom vanities
The morning rush is one of the biggest bugbears for couples, which is why it’s no longer just about one shared solution – dual vanities are fast becoming a bathroom essential.
Separate sinks, mirrors, and storage give each partner their own prep zone, making mornings smoother and less stressful.

This sense of autonomy mirrors a wider trend Mani has noticed in the home, noting that “homeowners are more informed now and are actively looking for solutions that can adapt to them.”
5. Matching showers or oversized baths
Finally, bathrooms are being reimagined as wellness zones, and couples are looking for ways to balance togetherness with practicality.
It’s about blending luxury with functionality – side-by-side showers mean no waiting in line, while statement bathtubs offer room for two without compromise.
It also provides greater areas for personalised products, shower head heights and water temperature in a space used so frequently by the household.
Because let’s face it, when both people in a partnership are happy, life runs a whole lot smoother.
