A dining room is a room for eating food. In modern times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for accessibility in serving, although in medieval days it was often on an entirely different flooring degree. Historically the dining room is furnished with a rather large dining table and a number of dining chairs; the most common shape is generally rectangular with two armed objective chairs and an even number of un-armed side chairs along the long sides .

History

In the Middle Ages, upper class Britons and other European nobility in palaces or large manor houses dined in the largest corridor. This was a large multi-function chamber capable of seat the bulk of the population of the house. The clas would sit at the head table on a elevated dais, with the rest of specific populations arrayed in order of decreasing grade away from them. Tables in the great corridor would tend to be long trestle tables with benches. The sheer number of people in a Great Hall meant it would probably have had a busy, bustling atmosphere. Suggestions that it would also have been quite smelly and smoky are probably, by the standards of the time, unfounded. These chambers had large chimneys and high ceilings and there would have been a free pour of air through the numerous entrance and window openings .

It is no doubt that the owners of such properties began to develop a penchant for most intimate amass in smaller' parlers' or' privee parlers' off the main hall but this is thought to be due as much to political and social changes as to the greater solace afforded by such rooms. In the first instance, the Black Death that ravaged Europe in the 14 th Century caused a shortage of labour and this had led to a dislocation in the feudal system. Likewise the religion abuses after the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII shaped it unwise to talk freely in front of large volumes of people .

Over time, the nobility took more of their banquets in the parlor, and the parlour became, functionally, a dining room( or was split into two detached rooms ). It also moved farther from the Great Hall, often accessed via grand ceremonial staircases from the dais in the Great Hall. Eventually dining in the Great Hall became something that was done primarily on special occasions .

Toward the beginning of the 18 th Century, a structure risen where the ladies of the house would recede after dinner from the dining room to the drawing room. The gentlemen would remain in the dining room having liquors. The dining room tended to take on a more masculine tenor as a result .
