Room roles are assigned to a room based on what is inside them, such as a bedroom or barracks.
Summary
Rooms have stats. This includes Impressiveness and its 4 composite stats (Beauty, Cleanliness, Wealth, Space). These values are defined from the items inside. Stats can be inspected using the room inspection tool found in the bottom right of the screen. Rooms can fufill multiple roles at once, despite the game displaying only 1 label at a time.
Certain room types grant a mood effect, based on how Impressive it is. To gain it, the room must be used by a character for its associated purpose (ex. eating at a table in a dining room). They are typically applied when a character begins said activity in the room, and last for 24 hours.
Buildings may also rely on a specific room stat. Hospitals, laboratories, and kitchens all use Cleanliness. In other words, a medical bed, simple research bench, and electric stove all function off the Cleanliness stat. Also note that increasing beauty in 1 place will increase a pawn's beauty need, as well as the room stat.
