I Have a queen now help!

My medical dwarf Randomly gained the crown and now Im struggling to build a proper everything for her new needs. Any advice on how to max out the value of a room with minimal space use.

Build walls and floors from expensive materials, and then engrave them.
Also, decorate everything before putting it into the rooms. Even if you dont have gems or other better material, even bone decoration will bump the value.

Furniture made from precious metals is the way to go. If you can, encrust with cut gems to bump up the value even further. I usually dedicate one level to being a 'palace' level for the monarch so they have a really large area for their home, and the other bigwigs of society live around it. :)

Display cases and artifacts on them. My top artifact is worth of over 22k and cheapest ones something like 3k, most around 10k... don't need many to satisfy the greed of royals. :) Easy way to improve guild halls etc too.

Why are you worried about minimal space? You could give her an entire map layer to herself if you wanted to and have many more.

Royal rooms may only be made "small" if you either a.) make them out of extremely high value (read: rare) materials such as platinum or aluminum or b.) use very high value artifacts (divine or otherwise) in the room. Note that due to minimum furniture requirements (10 stands, 10 chests, 5 cabinets, 1 bed) and the high probability of demands, attempting to make the room interior smaller than 6x5 is a futureproofing problem staring you in the face.

Royal dining rooms/offices/tombs can have 3x3 interiors with all-aluminum/platinum construction, while using gold will require additional value boosters.

just screw the minimal space unless you want to place artifacts in them. just give her an own z layer with massive sized rooms and carve the tiles outta them.

my issue is thta the job settings never made only my engraver engrave instead of everyone so I never could let the legendary engraver work there and rooms just got bigger and bigger. otherwise gold silver, electrum statues of proper quality are doing a goodm job too. but on a display you can slap many things increasing value a lot with low space
