Work from Home What is the Definition of a Room for Total Rooms in Home

What is the definition of a room for the purposes of calculating total rooms in home?

 

Does it include kitchen, bathroom, hallways etc.?

Does it include rooms in the basement?

Please visit the CRA page to learn more about the difference between a designated room for work versus a common area.

I read that page but doesn't answer my question which is a bit more nuanced.  It deals with fields in turbo tax and what they represent.

Simple method: Rooms are areas in the house where you can work out of. So bedrooms, living rooms, dining room/kitchen, if you have rooms in the basement include them. So if you have a 4 bedroom house with 2 living rooms and 1 kitchen, you would put 7 rooms and use 1 for your work area.
