Information About

Bedroom




In some cultures, dedicated bedrooms form an important part of a Home . In others, spaces used primarily for other activities by day become bedrooms at night.


BEDROOMS IN NORTH AMERICA AND EUROPE

Palace, Munich , Bavaria ]]
Many houses in North America 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 buildings with multiple self-contained housing units (e.g., apartment), the number of bedrooms vary 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.

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 Dresser s (or perhaps, a Wardrobe Armoire ); a Nightstand ; one or more Closet s; and Carpet ing. 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 than that used in North America and other parts of Europe.

Some bedrooms also include such items as a make-up desk, television, 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 .


Children's bedrooms

In addition to a bed (or, if shared by two or more children, a bunk bed), a child's bedroom may include the requisite closets and dressers, plus items such as a toy box, desk and other items.
