My friend had told me that a room only uses 1200W at a time, so I'd have to get a wire connecting to another room if i was to plug in anything else?? Sounds ridiculous to me, but i couldn't find anything about it online.

Most rooms have one or two 15-amp or 20-amp circuits though some older ones may be only 10-amp.  One 15-amp circuit can handle about 1800w.  If you have access to your circuit breaker, it should be listed there.

Not really true, it completely depends on how the electrician wired your house. THe electrician in my house obviously hated me, as literally every room in the house is split across two 15A circuits (the same 2), except the kitchen which has like 100Amps. And there's a 20A breaker that's connected to nothing.
