Houses built at the time were full of fantasy rooms specially designed for public office and private sectors as well as less ornate pieces of their children and servants, as deemed appropriate by the costumes of the day.

The rules on public and private spheres dictated that you must have a lobby, a room near the entrance of the house to receive guests, a butler pantry, a dresser, a lounge, and servant quarters. Some of these rooms were needed, of course, because the house design had not progressed to the point that the kitchens were storing food and dishes included in them yet, but some have also a question of good manners.
