Ruang literally means space. We don't use 'ruang' word regularly. Unless for cases like:
Ruang tunggu = waiting room
Ruang pasien = patient's room
Here, ruang means the same as ruangan, which is 'room'.
Ruangan means room, it could be any kind of room.
Ruangan belajar = study room.
Kamar is specific to bedroom.
