How to calculate the number of rooms in a house?
The number of rooms in an apartment or house takes into account all the living rooms with an area between 9 and 30 m². It is advisable to exclude for example the bathroom, the kitchen or the toilets.
Which parts are not taken into account?
The number of rooms in a house is not from taking into account all the living space. It should therefore not include:
- The bathroom(s).
- The kitchen.
- Toilets/WC.
- The entry hall.
- Corridors.
- The landings.
- The cellar.
- The laundry room.
- The cave.
- Unfinished attic.
- The staircase.
- The boiler room.
In practice, the only rooms taken into account for the number of rooms in a house are therefore often the living/dining room, the bedrooms, the office, or even the library. This distinction between "main rooms", intended for living or sleeping, and "utility rooms" is defined and imposed by article R111-1 of the Construction and Housing Code.
