Bedroom

A bedroom is a room used mainly for sleeping. In a house it is a private room, typically with a bed, storage for clothing and a door that closes it off from the rest of the home.

A home's bedroom count is one of the first things buyers, renters and lenders look at. Building codes and local rules set conditions for a room to be called a bedroom, commonly a minimum floor area, an egress window or door for escape in a fire, and a source of heat.

The primary bedroom is usually the largest and often has its own bathroom and a walk-in closet.

A bedroom's area is its length times its width, measured wall to wall inside the room. Appraisers apply their own tests before counting a room as a bedroom, covered in what counts as a bedroom.
