The Victorians: The Victorian Home

The Bedroom

The bedrooms of the Regency were a collection of diverse furniture and style. The types of furniture that made up a Regency bedroom consisted of a bed, washstand, wardrobe, chair, full-length mirror, and maybe a writing desk. It would not be until the Victorian period that furniture and décor were designed to match.

Bnp50196.jpg (15324 bytes)The furniture also became larger during the Victorian period. Canopied beds became popular. Wardrobes and armoires were still a part of the bedroom, although these became larger as well to accommodate the fashions of the time. Washstands were still a part of the bedroom despite the welcoming technology of bathrooms into the home.

The Victorian bedroom was viewed as a "sanctuary" as families expanded and the middle class could afford to hire servants. The bedroom was the location for time to contemplate, appreciate privacy from servants’ eyes, and enjoy the comforts of one’s home.
