A dining room is a room for spending food. In modern times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in providing, although in medieval hours 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 most common shape is generally rectangular with two armed demise 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 grandeur in castles or big manor houses dined in the largest vestibule. 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 the population arrayed in order of diminishing rank away from them. Tables in the great hallway would tend to be long trestle tables with benches. The sheer number of people in a Great Hall intended it would probably have had a busy, bustling atmosphere. Suggestions that it would also have been quite smelly and smoky are likely, by the standards of the time, unfounded. These chambers had large-scale chimneys and high-pitched 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 delicacy for most intimate rallies 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 comfort afforded by such rooms. In the first instance, the Black Death that ravaged Europe in the 14 th Century made a shortage of labor and this had led to a breakdown in the feudal system. Also the religious persecutions after the dissolution of the convents under Henry VIII attained 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 parlor became, functionally, a dining room( or was split into two detached chambers ). 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 moments .

Toward the beginning of the 18 th Century, a pattern 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 guzzles. The dining room tended to take on a more masculine tenor as a result .
