A bedroom is a private room where people usually sleep for the night or relax during the day.

Many houses in North America, Australia and Europe have at least two bedrooms—usually a master bedroom (dedicated to the heads of the household, such as a husband and wife) and one or more bedrooms for either the children or guests.

In some jurisdictions there are basic features (such as a closet and a "means of egress") which a room must have in order to be qualify as a bedroom. In many states, such as Alaska, bedrooms are not required to have closets and must instead meet minimum size requirements. Nevertheless, some real estate agents may stretch the definition when listing a home for sale.

In buildings with multiple self-contained housing units (e.g., apartments), the number of bedrooms varies widely. While many such units have at least one bedroom—frequently, these units have at least two—some of these units may not have a specific room dedicated for use as a bedroom. (These units may be known by various names, including studio, efficiency, bedsit, and others.)

Furniture and other items in bedrooms vary greatly, depending on taste and local tradition. For instance, a master bedroom may include a bed of a specific size (double, king or queen-sized); one or more dressers (or perhaps, a wardrobe armoire); a nightstand; one or more closets; and carpeting. Built-in closets are less common in Europe than in North America; thus there is greater use of freestanding wardrobes or armoires in Europe.

Bedding used in northern Europe (especially in Scandinavia) is significantly different from that used in North America and other parts of Europe. In Japan futons are common.

Some bedrooms also include such items as a make-up desk, television, personal computer, air conditioning and various accessories (such as lamps, telephone and an alarm clock).

Sometimes, a master bedroom is connected to a dedicated bathroom, often called an ensuite.

How much does it cost to expand a bedroom?
Q. Just bought a house and there's a bedroom at the end of the hallway. There's space in the backyard for the bedroom to be expanded, but I would like to know an estimate of the cost to make it bigger. The bedroom is 8ft x 10ft and I want to expand it to by 5ft so that it becomes 13ft x 10ft. Thanks!

A. what is your roof material? Is the site flat? Are there utilities that have to be rerouted during this remodel? What is the exterior material of the home? Another thing to consider is that for the amount of work that would be required to expand the room 5 feet, you should consider expanding it further. Another a couple of feet will not cost that much more. You may even consider a bath for that room or a walk in closet.

A. The way I'd bid this job: To repair the average amount of damage done to apartment drywall (nail holes, gouges from moving furniture, etc) figure an average of 15 min per room. Use a small bucket of drywall mud instead of spackling if you don't want it to crack out when the seasons change. To sand and prime your patches, figure another 15 min each room. To paint, figure 2 hrs per average size ceiling, 4 hrs for 2 coats per average size room (the second coat is always faster). Figure the same amount of time for a bathroom, it's smaller, but there are more things to paint around. Add another 3 hrs per room if you are doing a drastic color change. A high quality blocking primer will cover about 300 sq ft per gal. That's about a… [cont.]
