A dining room is a room for devouring meat. In modern times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for accessibility in providing, 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 intention 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 castles or huge manor houses dined in the great vestibule. This was a large multi-function chamber capable of room 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 diminishing grade 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. Propositions that it would also have been quite smelly and smoky are likely, 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 numerous door and window openings .

It is no doubt that the owners of such properties began to develop a savour for more intimate meets 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 consolation is guaranteed 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 breakdown in the feudal system. Likewise the religious persecutions after the dissolution of the convents under Henry VIII made it unwise to talk freely in front of large numbers of people .

Over time, the nobility took more of their meals in the parlor, and the parlor 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 occasions .

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