Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?
To see a direct interface component to access the creation of a personal space.

#### Why would you like to do it?
On the article divulging the new spaces feature, [Spaces blast out of beta](https://element.io/blog/spaces-blast-out-of-beta/), the team itself speaks of this as offering the ability to create three types of spaces: public, private and personal. This creates the expectation of finding UI components for the creation of each one of these types of spaces. However the interface only offers two possibilities for the creation of public and private spaces. This actually made me join _The Spaces feedback "space"_ in order to ask how to create personal spaces... where I got the info that they're just private spaces with a sole user. While logic, that is however not intuitive to most users.

#### How would you like to achieve it?
It should be fairly easy to create a new interface component leading directly to the creation of a private space with just the user added to it and present it already as a personal space.
