A dining room is a room for spending meat. In modern times you typically adjacent to the kitchen for accessibility in serving, although in medieval times 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 more common shape is generally rectangular with two armed purpose chairs and an even number of un-armed back chairs along the long backs .

History

In the Middle Ages, upper class Britons and other European grandeur in castles or large-scale manor houses dined in the largest dorm. This was a large multi-function room capable of seating the bulk of the population of the house. The household would sit at the head table on a heightened dais, with the rest of specific populations arrayed in order of decreasing rank away from them. Tables in the largest corridor would tend to be long trestle tables with terraces. 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 probably, by the standards of the time, unfounded. These rooms had big chimneys and high-pitched 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 taste for more intimate meetings 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 solace afforded 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 outage in the feudal system. Also the religious persecutions 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 dinners in the parlour, and the parlour became, functionally, a dining room( or was split into two separate rooms ). It likewise 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 occasions .

Toward the beginning of the 18 th Century, a pattern risen where the madams 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 boozes. The dining room tends to take on a more masculine tenor as a result .
