I let all their rooms/tombs overlap each other, except the bedrooms, which all have an enclosed area reserved for cabinets. So I can put a handful of artifact furnitures in the shared area to make all the rooms royal standard. And because all furnitures in the rooms are shared, you only need to make enough furnitures for the king and all other nobles should be satisfied.
I do not share cabinets because it seems the dwarves will try to store their clothes in there, last time I checked, they were confused by shared cabinets and kept moving the clothes from one to another.

I love pampering my nobles, but not too much.

I make a Nobles Level, around a similar level to the main upstairs tavern. If I can find marble, I choose a marble level, and make a central open area with a private well, some statues, and smoothed floors with engraved walls. The Nobles offices open into this central marble courtyard, with private dining rooms and bedrooms adjoining each office, and more bedrooms and tombs along the far side. I usually put in a private staircase to the main tavern, so that they can collect food when they wish to. If I choose my moment, I can lock all the nobles down their in their own marble gilded cage by locking a hatch. Their rooms are full of useful items, such as chests, armour and weapon racks, and there's usually a pick stockpile, ever since a nasty accident with a werepanda. Usually I make a few too many fancy rooms, and just assign them as and when necessary.

...then there's a row of rooms with long corridors with lockable doors, levers, floodgates and grates that don't appear to do anything. I don't recommend going and looking at that end of the Nobles Suite, it's mostly irrelevant anyway. And you never made a mandate which wasn't for The Good Of The Fortress, right? Ever since the Great Catsplosion of 542, I've referred to that end of the hallway as  "the kitten suite" anyhow....

Oh, that explains that silliness I had my nobles engaging in. Forbidding the cabinets put a stop to it, though for non-nobles the solitary cabinet would also work.

I like that inordinately valuable room to also be in dining room/leisure area - let nobles stay in public eye.

typically my nobles get large rooms carved into the rock that get smoothed and engraved, then i put in whatever furniture they want.

though recently i made a house for my mayor next to the inn. both were made of earthenware.
the house included a bedroom, study, dining room, armory, and common room (bassicly a statue garden with some chairs)

that fort was abandoned due to there not being any metal, but my latest embark has SO much good stuff (no fire clay unfortunately)
ill probably do something more extravagant this time, perhaps a small castle where all my nobles will live.
