The kanji 房 is a pictographic compound character. The left side is a simplified form of the radical "戸" (to, door) which signifies a house or a room, and the right side is "方" (hō, direction), which originally depicted a sort of banner or flag. This combination suggests a room or chamber with something, such as a flag or decoration, inside. Over time, the meaning expanded to include clusters or bunches of things.
