SUMMARY:
- Many people used a little accessory called a muff to keep their hands toasty. They were cylindrical in shape and would wrap around the hands in one big piece.
- To warm up the bed, people would sometimes put hard ceramic or metal containers filled with hot coals into the bed.
- Many people opted for a pair or 2 of long johns, undershirts, and leggings. Some women would wear multiple petticoats or slips if they could afford more than one or 2.
- Back in the 1800s, the kitchen was also the warmest place in the house, making it the perfect room to hang out in on cold days.
- In the 1800s, unless you had some wealth, families would often live in close living quarters — sometimes in just one room! While this was probably incredibly difficult at times — especially in families with more than a couple of kids — it was actually very convenient during the winter!
- Back in the 19th century, you didn’t need a special occasion to go to the pub for a drink. Saloons and pubs were often heated by a fire and packed with people, which meant they were nice and toasty!
- During the mid-18th century, people began using wing chairs in their homes, and they continued to be used well into the 1800s.
- Similar to the hands, a pair of cold feet can send shivers down your spine in freezing weather. The folk of the 1800s would use foot warmers to keep their tootsies toasty.
- In the 1800s, the fur industry was booming. To wear fur was somewhat of a status symbol, and the wealthy loved to wear them around town.
- Back in the 19th century, having an open fireplace was a big deal when it came to keeping warm. The fire was one of the few things that guaranteed a household any kind of warmth.
