A dining room is a room for expending food. In modern times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving, although in medieval hours 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 terminate chairs and an even number of un-armed side chairs along the long backs .

History

In the Middle Ages, upper class Britons and other European aristocracy in castles or large-scale manor houses dined in the great passageway. This was a large multi-function chamber capable of room the bulk of the population of the house. The family would sit at the head table on a developed dais, with the rest of the population arrayed in order of decreasing grade away from them. Tables in the great vestibule 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 chimneys and high-pitched ceilings and there would have been a free flowing of air through the numerous entrance and window openings .

It is true that the owners of such belongings began to develop a savor for more intimate collects 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 solace 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 mistreatments after the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII made it unwise to talk freely in front of large volumes of people .

Over time, the nobility took more of their meals in the parlour, and the parlour became, functionally, a dining room( or was split into two detached 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 primarily on special occasions .

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