A dining room is a room for devouring meat. In modern times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for accessibility in serving, although in medieval occasions it was often on an entirely different flooring 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 huge manor house dined in the largest auditorium. 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 decreasing rank away from them. Tables in the largest passageway would tend to be long trestle tables with benches. The sheer number of people in a Great Hall entail 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 rooms had huge chimneys and high ceilings and there would have been a free flowing of breath through the several entrance and window openings .

It is no doubt that the owners of such belongings began to develop a preference for most intimate gatherings in smaller' parlers' or' privee parlers' off the main hall but this is thought to be due just as much to political and social changes as to the greater comfort afforded by such rooms. In the first instance, the Black Death that ruined Europe in the 14 th Century caused a shortage of labor and this had led to a outage in the feudal system. Likewise the religion mistreatments following the dissolution of the convents under Henry VIII built it unwise to talk freely in front of large volumes of people .

Over time, the aristocracy took more of their meals in the parlor, and the parlour 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 mainly on special occasions .

Toward the beginning of the 18 th Century, a pattern emerged where the dames of the members of this house would withdraw 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 .
