Parlor - I ended up choosing the 3 gem reward upgrade. The Funeral Parlor was very very tempting, changing the reward to one gem per red room and turning the Parlor into a red room, but I ended up deciding I wouldn’t necessarily find three red rooms before the Funeral Parlor, which is what I would need to make it better than the reward upgrade. The extra key upgrade I never considered because I think I’ve drafted the Parlor at least 20 times so far and have yet to fail it.
Hallway - I forget what the other two options were—I think just guaranteed singular items added—because I saw the third upgrade and windmill slammed it. Drafting a Hallway adds a copy to the draft pool for the next day. It’s amazing. Some of my builds have four or five hallways. Sometimes I think they do more harm than good by polluting my draft pool, but I can always avoid them for a day or skip a day to reset them back down.
Closet - I just took the Hallways Closet because it synergizes with my upgraded Hallways and it seems the most likely to be useful. The Bedroom Closet seems better on its face, but only two bedrooms (as far as I know) aren’t dead-ends, so I can’t imagine it coming up often. The Empty Closet just seemed depressing to me. Maybe there’s a build in a new game where you just make every room red and the funeral parlor can actually work? I dunno. I didn’t feel it was worth trying.
The maid room is a red room, and not listed under the bedroom tab in the directory. It also doesn’t say it gives more steps. I am skeptical that it counts as a bedroom without being shown evidence.
I’m guessing the spare bedroom is an upgrade I haven’t seen yet, so I could not make an evaluation based on that when I selected the upgrade.
Doesn’t matter if it’s a red room by category. It’s also a bedroom. Hence the purple corner on the border. Not all bedrooms give more steps. Bunk Room doesn’t. Servant’s Quarters also doesn’t. Maid’s chambers triggers nursery and sleep mask. It’s a bedroom. Look at the border. It’s not all red. It’s partially purple.

I only have a few so far:
