Perhaps the biggest change was the introduction of chimneys, which were invented during the middle ages, but did not become a standard feature until later. During the middle ages, people with dirt floors built fires on the floors, and people with stone or wood used braziers. The smoke went through a hole in the roof or just under the peaks of the roof.

Another change was the common use of glass, though poor people in the eighteenth century might have used oiled paper instead.

And another was the common use of wooden doors and shutters in the poor houses of the eighteenth century, where people of the middle ages did not necessarily have wooden doors.
