The term 'corridor' was first introduced to the English language by Sir John Vanburgh when designing Blenheim Palace. The idea was to align the rooms along a central space, a scaled down version was soon adopted into more modest homes.

In the Victorian Era, the corridor was about privacy and ensuring that the homeowners could retreat into the privacy of their quarters. The renowned architect Robert Kerr would design corridors and hallways that would offer separation between servants, family and guests, ensuring proper planning meant that servants would be close by, yet unseen - luckily things have changed now! Pictured above is Chatsworth's beautiful 'Painted Hall', with ornate balconies and a sweeping staircase which leads to a treasure trove of period rooms.
