Ever wanted a Victorian Themed bedroom? Dresses and coats would have been hung from pegs on the wall – perhaps behind a curtain – or kept folded in a wardrobe or chest of drawers, as clothes hangers were not used until the 1900s (when they were known as ‘shoulders’). As for other pieces of furniture: there might have been a washstand with a china jug and basin which a servant would fill with hot water for washing, a towel rack and perhaps a cupboard to hide the chamber pot, a rug on the linoleum or bare floorboards, bellows and a coal scuttle beside the fireplace.
