you guys are too generous. I don't designate bedrooms. It's too much of a hassle and dwarves should learn to share.

I never designated bedrooms for a long time, but it really helps on keeping down clutter once clothing starts to wear, as dwarves store their belongings there.

Yes, you can cram an engraved room full of beds amd make each one its own maxsize bedroom... but that's just not fun for RP. If I want my dwarves to get royal bedroom happiness boosters, I challenge myself t give them royal bedrooms. It does cost a lot more in platinum than the more exploity route though. Basically if I were doing a megaproject or utility fort of some kind I would do the communal "bedrooms," but for proper fort forts it seems wrong.
You can do it with their own mostly separate areas as well, the screenshot I showed above could probably hold like a thousand dorfs happily but it only has 100 because of how I like spacing them out around the magma pass-through tunnels and engraved open air cisterns which serve as the distribution surface for the exits of the magma pumpstacks.

Dwarfs _can_ share and still have their own bedroom. Just make a large hall, fill it with beds, assign each as bedroom (expand to encompass the whole room if you want). Everybody's happy. It's basically a communal dormitory, each user just has their own reserved bunk.

While it is a hassle, it can have its advantages, if you put some planning into it.

In my latest fort, I made workshop rooms and assigned them by labor cross reference. My most important workshop operators get huge rooms so they're hilariously happy, they only have a couple tiles to get to each workshop to do whatever I need, and with stockpiles set across the halls from them, they barely have to move to do a full days work. I've never had work orders fulfilled so quickly.

Heck, I'm thinking of making single tile booze / food stockpiles in their rooms so they never move more than a dozen tiles.

The micromanagement overhead is a little painful, I will admit.
