Quand les vitres furent-elles installées aux fenêtres ? A quelle époque l’armoire a-t-elle remplacé le coffre ? Pour quelles raisons le couloir fut-il inventé seulement au XIXe siècle ? De quelles manières autrefois décorait-on sa maison? De la ferme d'autrefois avec son unique pièce sombre, chauffée par la cheminée, aux appartements modernes qui agencent autour d’un couloir des pièces bien éclairées et fonctionnelles, la maison s’est métamorphosée de fond en comble. Révolutions techniques et améliorations pratiques ont fait leur œuvre. Mais des sentiments nouveaux, comme la pudeur et le besoin de s’isoler, ont aussi compté dans la modification des intérieurs. L’histoire de la maison en raconte d’autres : celle du confort qui suit la lente conquête du bien-être des esprits et des corps ; celle des territoires de l’intime ; celle enfin de l’évolution des postures et des gestes domestiques dont la beauté a souvent inspiré les artistes.
