Many municipalities have requirements for minimum bedroom size.

In general, a bedrooms need be - 7 feet by 7 feet in size double egress

Others are more strict and need to have natural light, ventilation, and a window that provides an emergency exit to outdoors.

Closets are not required by lenders and others for a room to be a bedroom.

FHA lending requires a bedroom window exit, a basement room with a small window can't be called a bedroom.

 Historic homes might not have closets. A tandem or captive bedroom is one that does not have hall access but must be reached through another room. Some markets call them walk-throughs.

Bedroom count may be effected by city assessment and sewer charges.
Private septic system specifications will dictate possible bedroom count.
