Take into account the following definition:
Room: Is a space located in a dwelling, enclosed by walls that go from the floor to the ceiling and that provide, at least, enough surface area to fit an adult-sized bed.
Therefore, bedrooms, dining rooms, living rooms, living-dining rooms, studies, servants' quarters, rooms used for professional or commercial purposes, etc. are rooms, as long as they conform to the aforementioned criteria.
The attic, if it conforms to this definition and is at least two meters tall, is considered a room.
