40d:Bedroom
A bedroom is a room defined from a bed. A dwarf will usually store their belongings in their bedroom when not carrying them. A dwarf will claim an unassigned bedroom after sleeping in it, but they can be manually assigned. Married dwarves will share a bedroom, even sleeping in the same bed; babies will also share a bedroom with their mother until they grow into children.
To set up a bedroom, you must first make a bed in a carpenter's workshop, then build it. (Dwarves will not sleep in beds which have been produced in a workshop until they are placed via the build menu). Once the bed is built, to turn it into a bedroom, you must query the bed and make a bedroom out of it.
Dwarves will sleep in any bed once it has been built, and heal from wounds faster in beds which are not part of any room designation.[Verify] However, turning a bed into a bedroom makes all other pieces of furniture in the room (such as cabinets and coffers) usable by the dwarf that owns the bedroom. Owning furniture (especially high-quality furniture) gives dwarves happy thoughts, and cabinets and coffers give them a place to store their possessions. Sophisticated bedroom designs have been known to give players of Dwarf Fortress happy thoughts as well. Once the dwarven economy starts, dwarves will get unhappy thoughts from not having a chest in their bedroom.
Prior to the start of the dwarven economy, civilian dwarves not assigned bedrooms will sleep in any "built" bed not turned into a bedroom, or in a barracks. After the start of the economy, they will only sleep in owned rooms or in the barracks. If all public beds are occupied, they will sleep on the floor of the barracks.
Military dwarves will sleep in the barracks, unless told to sleep in their own bedrooms via their squad's settings.
It is best to place bedrooms far from workshops and other work areas due to noise.
The option 'free bed' removes the status 'room' from a bed.
Although the room-designation tool appears to not include doors, dwarves will receive unique happy thoughts for "their own <quality> door," as well as any other well-crafted doors which they pass through.
