A dining area is a available room for eating food. Today it is adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving usually, although in medieval times it was on an completely different floor level often. Historically the dining room is furnished with a rather large dining table and a number of dining chairs; the most typical shape is normally rectangular with two armed end chairs and a straight number of un-armed side chairs over the long sides.In the Middle Ages, upper class Britons and other European nobility in castles or large manor houses dined in the great hall. This was a huge multi-function room capable of seating the bulk of the population of the homely house. The family would sit at the top table on an elevated dais, with all of those other population arrayed in order of diminishing rank from them. Dining tables in the great hall would have a tendency to be long trestle dining tables with benches. The sheer number of folks in an excellent Hall meant it would probably experienced a busy, bustling atmosphere.Recommendations that it could have been quite smelly and smoky are most likely also, by the requirements of the time, unfounded. These rooms acquired large chimneys and high ceilings and there is a free circulation of air through the many door and screen openings.It is true that the owners of such properties commenced to build up a taste for much more seductive gatherings in smaller 'parlers' or 'privee parlers' off the main hall but this is regarded as due all the to politics and social changes as to the higher comfort afforded by such rooms. In the first instance, the Black Loss of life that ravaged European countries in the 14th Hundred years caused a scarcity of labour and this had led to a break down in the feudal system. Also the spiritual persecutions following dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII made it unwise to speak freely in front of large numbers of people.As time passes, the nobility needed more of their dishes in the parlour, and the parlour became, functionally, a dining room (or was split into two individual rooms). It migrated further from the Great Hall also, often utilized via grand ceremonial staircases from the dais in the Great Hall. Eventually eating out in the Great Hall became something that was done mainly on special situations.Toward the beginning of the 18th Century, a pattern emerged where the girls of the home would withdraw after supper 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 far more masculine tenor as a result.A typical UNITED STATES dining area will contain a table with chairs arranged along the edges and ends of the desk, as well as other pieces of furniture, (often used for stocking formal china), as space permits. Often tables in modern eating out rooms will have a removable leaf to permit for the larger number of folks present on those special events without taking up extra space when not in use. But the "typical" family eating experience is at a wooden stand or some sort of cooking area, some choose to make their dining rooms convenient by using couches or comfortable recliners.In modern American and Canadian homes, the dining room is typically next to the living room, being progressively used only for formal kitchen with guests or on special occasions. For informal daily foods, most medium size properties and greater will have an area adjacent to your kitchen where table and recliners can be placed, larger spaces are often known as a dinette while a smaller one is called a breakfast time nook. Smaller houses and condos may have a breakfast pub instead, often of any different elevation than the regular kitchen counter-top (either increased for stools or reduced for recliners). If the home does not have a dinette, breakfast time nook, or breakfast bar, then the family or kitchen room will be utilized for day-to-day eating.This is typically the truth in Britain, where the dining area would for most families be used only on Sundays, other foods being eaten in your kitchen.In Australia, the use of a dining room continues to be common, yet not an essential part of modern home design. For some, it is considered an area to be used during formal get-togethers or situations. Smaller homes, comparable to the Canada and USA, use a breakfast table or bar placed within the confines of a kitchen or living space for meals.
