My situation is different, as I'm branching off to start a new household on the East Coast around mid-year this year... which will return me to Matriarch status within House Bladewing. For me, for the simple sake of convenience, I will be putting the shared servant in the large bedroom, which one or more of us may also share at will. Hir mate will have hir own room with a work area (since xhe's an artist), and we will be leaving the issue of who shares which beds when to what we usually leave it to -- the preferences of everyone involved.
My reasoning suits our household, but may not suit someone elses, and that is that the servant gets the larger space because xhe will be the one accumulating the toys and project materials to complete hir duties, while the rest of us will only be dealing with our -own- stuff. While xhe is also -married-, one of the idiosyncrasies of our household is that, once we accept a couple into our fold, it becomes a communion of -all- of us, with the key priority relationship being the household -as a whole-, so it doesn't make sense, in our case, to continue to isolate a couple as their own entity -- rather, we attempt to give everyone the opportunity to embrace their -new- family structure by giving everyone appropriate personal space, and truly integrating new members, including previously paired members, as fully embraced members of a single family.
I don't know how this would work for most folk, who seem to be more territorial in a lot of areas than the folks who gravitate towards our communal situation.
