I explain it below, but you've fundamentally misunderstood the way the "bedrooms" are counted in the States. They are any room that isn't a bathroom, living room, or kitchen. In house I live in now (in Denmark), it's listed as a 5-room house, with one bathroom. In the States, it would be a 4-bedroom house. The only difference is the kitchen / dining room / living room, which is all one continuous room. In the States, none of these would be counted as bedrooms anyhow. The other rooms are currently used as three bedrooms and an office. The previous occupants used the room we use as an office as a bedroom, and one of the bedrooms for storage. No fundamental difference between the two systems. Neither system accounts for the scullery (bryggers), which isn't big enough to be considered a room by either system. So there's not much difference between the systems, but the American system has a bit more clarity, since you don't have to guess about kitchen and dining rooms there.
