Algunas habitaciones de trabajo están designadas para la actividad pretendida: por ejemplo, el cuarto de costura") (sewing room")) para ese tipo de labores, y otras piezas situadas o no en la propia vivienda (lavadero y tendedero) para cuidado de la ropa.

Otras habitaciones son usados para promover la higiene, como el inodoro (letrina o retrete) y el cuarto de baño (con lavabo, ducha o bañera), los cuales pueden combinarse o disponerse en piezas separadas. El equivalente en espacios públicos son los baños públicos, que pueden o no contener todas esas instalaciones (urinario, casa de baños); aunque incluso en la Antigüedad eran mucho más sofisticados (termas romanas, baños árabes o turcos).

En los siglos XVII, XVIII, y XIX, entre los que podían pagarlo, estas instalaciones estuvieron mantenidas en áreas separadas. La cocina se separaba de la parte principal de la casa, o se disponía en el sótano, para reducir el riesgo de fuego y mantener el calor y los olores de cocinar fuera de la casa principal (sobre todo durante los meses cálidos).[8]​ El lavabo, a menudo una letrina de fosa sencilla, solía estar en el exterior, para mantener olores e insectos fuera de la casa principal.

Social areas

A variety of room types have been distinguished over time whose main purpose was socializing with other people. A living room or lounge (sale de sejour in French, living room or sitting room in English - literally "room to live" or "to sit"-) is conceived as a space suitable for visits and social gatherings.

In previous centuries, great houses had great halls (great halls) in English palaces and stately homes) which, as a main room, could be used for all types of social gatherings and a dining room for banquets; which, cleared of tables and provided with music, could be converted into a ballroom.

In other parts of the house, there could be a drawing room") (literally "drawing room")", but not limited to that function), with greater privacy, for the owner's family and his friends of greater trust and privacy (cabinet "Cabinet (room)").

Some large houses had rooms specially designed for a specific leisure activity; such as a library, a music room (from which comes the genre called "chamber music"), a theater or home cinema, a billiard room, a games room, or a smoking room.

Bedroom

A bedroom is the room where a bed is located and whose main purpose is to sleep. The master bedroom can have a bathroom. A guest room") is a bedroom used primarily by overnight guests. A children's room") is a bedroom for babies or small children. It can be separate from the playroom, which is a room where children's toys are kept.

The bedrooms can have other uses. A large house may have separate rooms for these other functions, such as a dressing room for changing clothes (also seen in clothing stores and businesses where people need to change clothes, but do not need to sleep). In the Tudors, a bedroom could have a separate closet, to pray and seek privacy; This architectural idea persists in the closet understood as a storage closet.[8]​.

In the United Kingdom, many houses are built to contain a separate room (box room") or boxroom") -"box room"-) that is easily identifiable, being smaller than the others. The small size of these rooms limits their use, and they are often used as a small single bedroom, a small child's bedroom or as a storage room. Other separate rooms of this type may house a live-in domestic servant (servant's room). Traditionally, in country houses and larger suburban houses until the 1930s in Britain, the separate room was for the storage of boxes, trunks, portmanteaux, and the like, rather than for bedroom use.[9]​.

A sick room") is a specialized room, sometimes large enough to contain a bed, where a family member can be conveniently cared for and kept separate from the rest of the household while recovering from an illness.

Multipurpose rooms

In smaller homes, most rooms were multipurpose. In a studio, community apartment or studio, a single main room can serve most functions, except usually the toilet and bathroom. Multipurpose room types include the great room, which eliminates most of the walls and doors between the kitchen, dining room and living room to create a larger, more open area.

In some places, a lady's boudoir was a combination bedroom and place to entertain a small number of friends. In others, the dressing table was an anteroom to the bedroom.

Las divisiones espaciales destinadas al descanso y la privacidad de los clientes de los hoteles, hostales y otros establecimientos similares se denominan "habitaciones".

Aunque no se refiera específicamente a una habitación de un establecimiento hostelero, el ensayo de Virginia Woolf Una habitación propia (A Room of One’s Own, 1929), desarrolla el tema de la privacidad necesaria para la emancipación femenina, particularmente en el ámbito literario.

Suite and room with bathroom

A suite "Suite (hotel)") is a particularly luxurious hotel room.

An en-suite room is a type of room that includes a private room, a private toilet, and access to a communal kitchen.[12]​ The toilet generally includes an en-suite shower, a sink, and a toilet. "En-suite" usually indicates a private space, especially if it is student accommodation. Student suite rooms are designed to offer study space and a quiet environment.[13]​.
