Room

Various examples of rooms and interiors. Clockwise from top left: the Romanian Athenaeum concert hall in Bucharest; the catalog room of the Bibliothèque Mazarine in Paris; a kitchen in Thailand and a restaurant bathroom in Oklahoma.

In a building or a ship, a room is any enclosed space within a number of 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 (or sometimes a train) support the activity to be conducted in it.
