If you are moving into/building a new house?

Let's assume that there are enough rooms to enable each child to have a room of their own. There are 2 rooms that are smaller, one that is bigger. Not by a huge amount, but enough to make it noticable.

How do you decide which child gets the big room? Is it automatically the oldest child? The girl? the older boy? The tidiest? How do you choose who gets that little bit of extra room, and how do you choose without putting other children out by that choice?
