A dining room is a room for devouring food. In modern times you typically adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving, although in medieval days it was often on an entirely different storey tier. 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 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 large-scale manor house dined in the great passageway. This was a large multi-function room capable of seating the bulk of the population of the house. The clas would sit at the head table on a raised dais, with the rest of the population arrayed in order of diminishing rank away from them. Tables in the great corridor would tend to be long trestle tables with terraces. The sheer number of people in a Great Hall signify it would probably have had a busy, bustling atmosphere. Propositions that it would also have been quite smelly and smoky are probably, by the standards of the time, unfounded. These rooms had large-scale chimneys and high ceilings and there would have been a free flow of air through the numerous doorway and window openings .

It is no doubt that the owners of such properties began to develop a penchant for most intimate gatherings 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 convenience is guaranteed 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. Also 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 grandeur took more of their dinners in the parlor, and the parlour became, functionally, a dining room( or was split into two detached chambers ). It also 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 mainly on special moments .

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