The Victorian era was a time of ornate decorum, and grandiose homes for the upper classes. Wealth was not to be concealed, but displayed in all aspects possible, most importantly in the home. The structure of an upper class home often had at least a few levels. The top and bottom floors, or basement and attic, generally reserved for the servants of the household. Food preparation and laundry activities were common of the basements, whereas the attic often served as housing for those that tended the household. Beyond these reserved spaces however, the splendor of wealth could be found in every room, on every wall, of every floor.

Definition of Middle Class in Victorian: The Victorian middle-class is largely associated with the growth of cities and the expansion of the economy. The term was used from around the mid-eighteenth century to describe those people below the aristocracy but above the workers.

Jobs: Shopkeepers, merchants, businessmen associated with the growth of manufacturing, the period saw the increased numbers of small entrepreneurs, successful industrialists and wealthy bankers.
Wealth: Middle class used their wealth to buy land and stately homes, becoming as rich as they could but not richer than the aristocracy.
Dress: The women wore dresses, skirts, blouses, had their hair styled, and men wore trousers with some type of jacket and headwear.
Location: lived towards the outer urban regions. Depends on the job status of the male in the household how the house/living area condition was kept up.

The different social class was distinguished by different areas. For example as power, authority, wealth, working and living conditions, life-styles, life-span, education, religion, and culture.
Early in the nineteenth century, middle class was coming into common usage.
The increasingly powerful (and class conscious) middle classes, however, undertook organized situation: the passage of the Reform Act of 1832 and the eliminated of the Corn Laws in 1846 were intimations of the extent to which they would ultimately be successful.
The old hereditary aristocracy evolved into an “upper class” which maintains control over the political system, making the working and the middle classes not have a voice in the political processes.
The success of the middle-classes in the Victorian period can be seen in their ability to universalize a set of principles based on individuality and progress.
The Victorian period witnessed the massive expansion of local government and the centralised state, providing occupations for a vast strata of civil servants, teachers, doctors, lawyers and government officials as well as the clerks and assistants which helped these institutions and services to operate.
