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

History

In the Middle Ages, upper class Britons and other European aristocracy in palaces or huge manor house dined in the largest hall. This was a large multi-function chamber capable of seating the bulk of the population of the house. The household would sit at the head table on a raised dais, with the rest of specific populations arrayed in order of lessening grade away from them. Tables in the largest vestibule would tend to be long trestle tables with terraces. The sheer number of people in a Great Hall entail it would probably have had a busy, bustling atmosphere. Propositions that it would also have been quite smelly and smoky are likely, by the standards of the time, unfounded. These rooms had huge chimneys and high-pitched ceilings and there would have been a free flowing of breath through the numerous doorway and window openings .

It is true that the owners of such properties began to develop a appreciation for most intimate meetings in smaller' parlers' or' privee parlers' off the primary hall but this is thought to be due just as much to political and social changes as to the greater comfort afforded by such chambers. In the first instance, the Black Death that ruined Europe in the 14 th Century caused a shortage of labour and this had led to a breakdown in the feudal system. Likewise the religious abuses after the dissolution of the convents under Henry VIII attained it unwise to talk freely in front of large numbers of people .

Over time, the aristocracy took more of their banquets in the parlour, and the parlour became, functionally, a dining room( or was split into two separate chambers ). It likewise migrated 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 madams of the house would recede after dinner from the dining room to the drawing room. The gentlemen would remain in the dining room having sips. The dining room tended to take on a more masculine tenor as a result .
