A dining room is a room for devouring food. In modern times you typically adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in providing, although in medieval occasions it was often on an entirely different storey level. 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 extremity 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 nobility in castles or large-scale manor house dined in the great corridor. This was a large multi-function chamber capable of seat 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 lessening rank away from them. Tables in the largest vestibule would tend to be long trestle tables with benches. The sheer number of people in a Great Hall signify it would probably have had a busy, bustling atmosphere. Suggests that it would also have been quite smelly and smoky are likely, by the standards of the time, unfounded. These rooms had large-scale chimneys and high-pitched ceilings and there would have been a free flowing of breath through the numerous door and window openings .

It is true that the owners of such belongings began to develop a preference for more intimate meets 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 consolation afforded by such chambers. In the first instance, the Black Death that ravaged Europe in the 14 th Century induced a shortage of labour and this had led to a outage in the feudal system. Also the religion persecutions after the dissolution of the convents under Henry VIII stimulated it unwise to talk freely in front of large volumes of people .

Over time, the aristocracy took more of their banquets in the parlor, and the parlour became, functionally, a dining room( or was split into two detached rooms ). 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 moments .

Toward the beginning of the 18 th Century, a pattern emerged where the dames of the 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 .
