It might just be one of those things that just depends on the relationship dynamics of the two people involved.
My grandparents slept in separate beds in the same room. He was much bigger, physically, than she was, and he rolled around a lot in his sleep and snored and snorted, L-O-U-D (his snoring scared me when I was a kid!). But she did have her own rooms for sewing and quilting.
In my second marriage, I needed a man-cave because my wife and her daughters were compulsive talkers. I simply had to have a place to go in the house that was reserved for me and me alone. But my wife and I did share the same bedroom and that was never in question. She had a hard time accepting my need for a "den", but eventually she came to understand that it was not about me avoiding her, but just having a quiet place to be alone for a while.
If you're the type of person who needs a separate space, whether to do creative things or just nap or just be alone for while, then by all means, there is nothing wrong with arranging it together and helping him to understand that it's not about avoiding him.
