A dining room is an area for eating food. Today it is adjacent to your kitchen for convenience in serving usually, although in medieval times it was often on an entirely different floor level. Historically the dining room is furnished with a huge dining table and a number of dining chairs rather; the most frequent shape is generally rectangular with two armed end chairs and a straight amount of un-armed side chairs across the long sides.In the Middle Ages, upper course Britons and other European nobility in castles or large manor homes dined in the great hall. This was a large multi-function room capable of seating the bulk of the population of the house. The grouped family would sit at the top table on a raised dais, with all of those other population arrayed in order of diminishing rank from them. Furniture in the great hall would tend to be long trestle tables with benches. The utter number of men and women in an excellent Hall meant it would probably have had a occupied, bustling atmosphere.Ideas that it would have been quite smelly and smoky are probably also, by the standards of that time period, unfounded. These rooms got large chimneys and high ceilings and there is a free movement of air through the numerous door and window openings.It is true that the owners of such properties started to build up a taste for more seductive gatherings in smaller 'parlers' or 'privee parlers' off the primary hall but this is regarded as due all the to politics and interpersonal changes as to the better comfort afforded by such rooms. In the beginning, the Black Fatality that ravaged European countries in the 14th Century caused a shortage of labour which had resulted in a malfunction in the feudal system. Also the religious persecutions following the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII made it unwise to discuss freely in front of large numbers of people.As time passes, the nobility had taken more of their dishes in the parlour, and the parlour became, functionally, a dining room (or was split into two individual rooms). It migrated farther from the fantastic Hall also, often accessed via grand ceremonial staircases from the dais in the Great Hall. Eventually eating in the fantastic Hall became something that was done generally on special events.Toward the beginning of the 18th Century, a pattern emerged where the females of the house would withdraw after dinner from the dining area to the drawing room. The gentlemen would remain in the dining area having drinks. The dining area tended to defend myself against a more masculine tenor as a complete final result.A typical North American dining room will contain a table with recliners arranged over the edges and ends of the table, as well as other pieces of furniture, (often used for keeping formal china), as space permits. Often furniture in modern dining rooms will have a removable leaf to allow for the bigger number of men and women present on those special events without taking on extra space you should definitely in use. But the "typical" family dining experience reaches a wooden desk or some sort of cooking area, some choose to make their dinner rooms convenient by using couches or comfortable seats.In modern American and Canadian homes, the dining room is typically adjacent to the living room, being significantly used only for formal kitchen with guests or on special events. For casual daily meals, most medium size residences and larger will have an area adjacent to the kitchen where stand and chair can be located, larger spaces tend to be known as a dinette while a smaller one is called a breakfast nook. Smaller properties and condominiums may have a breakfast bar instead, often of the different elevation than the standard kitchen counter-top (either elevated for stools or reduced for recliners). If a true home does not have a dinette, breakfast nook, or breakfast bar, then the kitchen or living room will be used for day-to-day eating.This was the case in Britain traditionally, where the dining room would for most families be used only on Sundays, other foods being eaten in your kitchen.In Australia, the use of a dining room is still widespread, yet not an essential part of modern home design. For most, it is known as an area to be utilized during formal events or activities. Smaller homes, comparable to the USA and Canada, use a breakfast table or bar located within the confines of a kitchen or living space for meals.
