Entire families, including servants, slept in the same room on beds or raised pallets. As living standards improved in the 18th and 19th centuries, individualized sleeping arrangements started to emerge, and this gave birth to the “master bedroom” concept. In the 20th century, home builders accommodated the trend of individualized sleeping with multiple bedrooms for a single family.
