Everything about Room
Distinguishable space within a building or other structure
A room is any enclosed space within a structure, typically bounded by walls to which entry is possible only via a door or other dividing structure. The entrance connects it to either a passageway, another room, or the outdoors. The space is typically large enough for several people to move about. The size, fixtures, furnishings, and sometimes placement of the room within the building or ship support the activity to be conducted in it. Wikipedia →
