In Victorian cottage houses, common types of storage used were:
1. Cupboards: Cupboards were freestanding or built-in storage units with shelves or drawers. They were often made of wood and placed in kitchens, bedrooms, or other areas of the house.
2. Sideboards: Sideboards were long, low storage units with drawers and cabinets. They were typically placed in dining rooms or living rooms and used to store dining sets, linens, or other household items.
3. Wardrobes: Wardrobes were large, standalone storage units used to store clothing. They usually had hanging rods, shelves, and drawers. They were made of wood and often served as decorative pieces in bedrooms.
4. Dressers: Dressers were smaller storage units with drawers, used for storing clothes, accessories, and other personal items. They were typically placed in bedrooms or dressing rooms.
5. Built-in Storage: Victorian cottage houses often had built-in storage solutions such as built-in shelves, cabinets, or closets. These were custom-designed to maximize space and fit seamlessly into the overall architecture of the house.
It is important to note that the availability and types of storage varied depending on the size and wealth of the cottage household.
