A dining room is a room for expending food. In modern times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for accessibility in serving, although in medieval hours it was often on an entirely different flooring level. 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 point 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 grandeur in palaces or large manor house dined in the largest passageway. This was a large multi-function chamber capable of seating the bulk of the population of the house. The family would sit at the head table on a heightened dais, with the rest of specific populations arrayed in order of lessening grade away from them. Tables in the great dormitory would tend to be long trestle tables with benches. The sheer number of people in a Great Hall intend 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 large-scale chimneys and high ceilings and there would have been a free flowing of air through the several door and window openings .

It is true that the owners of such properties began to develop a delicacy for most intimate amass in smaller' parlers' or' privee parlers' off the primary hall but this is thought to be due as much to political and social changes as to the greater comfort afforded by such chambers. In the first instance, the Black Death that ravaged Europe in the 14 th Century induced a shortage of labour and this had led to a breakdown in the feudal system. Also the religion mistreatments after the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII built it unwise to talk freely in front of large volumes of people .

Over time, the nobility took more of their banquets in the parlour, and the parlour became, functionally, a dining room( or was split into two separate rooms ). 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 structure emerged 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 drinkings. The dining room tended to take on a more masculine tenor as a result .
