Agreed. Most normal sized 28mm miniatures have a 1" circular or square base. That makes them way too cramped on a 1" grid in my opinion.
I've been advocating 1.25" squares and hexes, which are slightly larger than yours. My thinking is that 1/2" walls can be centered on the edge of two squares and still leave enough room for a figure to comfortably occupy the space.

I build my dungeon rooms in various sized shadow boxes from the craft store, so the space size in each one is partially determined by available floor space and working around fixed features. Often I'll do variable sized spaces, with the larger ones along the walls to alleviate placement constraints of minis.
In recent years, my Fantasy gaming has been with chibi miniatures, so the dungeon tends towards the sparkly and colourful too. Here are some sample rooms:
