A dining room is a room for eating food. In modern times you typically adjacent to the kitchen for accessibility in providing, although in medieval hours it was often on an entirely different flooring grade. 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 purpose chairs and an even number of un-armed side chairs along the long sides .

History

In the Middle Ages, upper class Britons and other European nobility in castles or big manor house dined in the great foyer. 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 grown dais, with the rest of the population arrayed in order of diminishing grade away from them. Tables in the largest hall would tend to be long trestle tables with terraces. The sheer number of people in a Great Hall intend 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 large chimneys and high ceilings and there would have been a free flow of breath through the several doorway and window openings .

It is no doubt that the owners of such belongings began to develop a taste for most intimate meetings 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 consolation afforded by such rooms. In the first instance, the Black Death that ruined Europe in the 14 th Century induced a shortage of labor and this had led to a outage in the feudal system. Likewise the religious abuses following the dissolution of the convents under Henry VIII stirred it unwise to talk freely in front of large volumes of people .

Over time, the aristocracy took more of their dinners in the parlor, 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 structure emerged where the madams of the house would recede after dinner from the dining room to the drawing room. The gentlemen would remain in the dining room having boozes. The dining room tended to take on a more masculine tenor as a result .
