So, obviously a bed is required. Assuming small rooms (~3 squares), what are the best objects to place in the rooms? I've always assumed a Table and Chair would be tops, but if I manually assign rooms that ends up being a pain in the ass. I saw a video on youtube where the guy said he liked to put cabinets in the dwarves rooms. Does having a chair/table of their own significantly increase their happiness? Or can I just put two random pieces of furniture? I imagine if I found the type of furniture they liked it would give them more happiness, but I don't feel like checking the wants and desires of hundreds of dwarves.

In the current DF2010 build, the only important things are a bed, to make it a bedroom, and a cabinet, because that's the only storage your dwarves will currently use, so reducing the amount of junk left around as they randomly discard their clothing (junk that can't be cleaned up by any means short of a magma scrub or atom smashing, because it's still marked as owned).
Any additional non-movement-blocking furniture is fine for bringing up the room value (and therefore the happiness it grants); I like chests, bags (it's easier to get high-value bags than most other furniture), weapon racks and armor stands. Even a movement-blocking furniture item, like a statue, is okay if you put it behind the bed (and designate the bedroom before you have it moved in, so you get the full value of all your walls).
