Question by CUPCAKE: Can someone tell me what a chamber room is used for in a victorian house?
My house plans on my 1854 home has a large room 12 x 12 that is called a chamber room, its not a bedroom because bedrooms are next to it and smaller. What is it for?

    I believe it is the bedroom or just another large parlor room in the house.

    Back then some houses had chamber maids…who would most likely bunk near the large room, which would explain the smaller rooms near it.

    If it’s large enough use it as a sort of family room.

    Due to the definitions of the word chamber, I assume it is
    a place where people could conduct business in privacy.

    2. A room where a person of authority, rank, or importance receives visitors.
    3. chambers A room in which a judge may consult privately with attorneys or hear cases not taken into court.
    4. chambers Chiefly British A suite of rooms, especially one used by lawyers.

    Hope this helps.
