I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting your own room, but it's not something I would like, either. One of the best things about being in a live-in relationship (for me) is having someone to share the bed with. All the other variables (noise, privacy, etc.) really don't come into the picture for me. I'm not someone who needs a private space, perhaps because being a mom for 20+ years has effectively cleansed me of the very notion of a right to privacy, lol. My boyfriend and I have our computers side by side in the living room. He does have a room for all of his music equipment but he rarely closes the door when he's in there.
But everyone is different and sometimes people do need private time. If it's possible, there's certainly nothing wrong with setting up your house to allow for it.
