A dining room is a available room for consuming food. Today it will always be adjacent to your kitchen for convenience in serving, although in medieval times it was on an entirely different floor level often. Historically the dining room is furnished with a large dining table and a number of dining chairs rather; the most common shape is normally rectangular with two armed end chairs and an even number of un-armed side chairs across the long sides.In the Middle Ages, upper course Britons and other Western nobility in castles or large manor homes dined in the great hall. This was a huge multi-function room capable of seating the bulk of the population of the house. The family would sit at the top table on a raised dais, with all of those other population arrayed in order of diminishing rank away from them. Dining tables in the great hall would tend to be long trestle desks with benches. The absolute number of individuals in a Great Hall meant it could probably experienced a active, bustling atmosphere.Suggestions that it would have been quite smelly and smoky are probably also, by the standards of the time, unfounded. These rooms acquired large chimneys and high ceilings and there is a free move of air through the many door and windows openings.It is true that the owners of such properties began to build up a taste for much more intimate gatherings in smaller 'parlers' or 'privee parlers' off the main hall but this is thought to be due as much to politics and social changes regarding the higher comfort afforded by such rooms. In the beginning, the Black Loss of life that ravaged Europe in the 14th Century caused a lack of labour which had led to a break down in the feudal system. Also the religious persecutions following a dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII made it unwise to discuss freely before large numbers of people.As time passes, the nobility needed more of their foods in the parlour, and the parlour became, functionally, a dining room (or was split into two split rooms). It also migrated further from the Great Hall, often seen via grand ceremonial staircases from the dais in the Great Hall. Eventually eating out in the Great Hall became something that was done primarily on special situations.Toward the start of the 18th Hundred years, a pattern surfaced where the women of the house would withdraw after dinner from the dining room to the drawing room. The gentlemen would remain in the dining area having drinks. The dining room tended to take on a more masculine tenor as a complete consequence.A typical UNITED STATES dining area will include a table with chair arranged along the sides and ends of the table, and also other furniture pieces, (often used for storing formal china), as space permits. Often tables in modern eating out rooms will have a removable leaf to permit for the bigger number of people present on those special events without taking on extra space when not in use. However the "typical" family dining experience reaches a wooden stand or some sort of cooking area, some choose to make their eating out rooms convenient by using couches or comfortable chair.In modern Canadian and American homes, the dining room is typically adjacent to the living room, being progressively used limited to formal eating out with friends or on special occasions. For casual daily foods, most medium size properties and much larger will have an area adjacent to your kitchen where desk and chair can be placed, larger spaces tend to be known as a dinette while an inferior one is named a breakfast time nook. Smaller residences and condominiums may instead have a breakfast pub, often of the different elevation than the standard kitchen counter (either increased for stools or reduced for seats). When a home lacks a dinette, breakfast nook, or breakfast time bar, then the family or kitchen room will be used for day-to-day eating.This was the situation in Britain customarily, where the dining area would for most families be used only on Sundays, other dishes being eaten in the kitchen.In Australia, the use of a dining room continues to be prevalent, yet no essential part of modern home design. For some, it is considered an area to be used during formal festivities or occasions. Smaller homes, comparable to the USA and Canada, use a breakfast bar or table put within the confines of a kitchen or living space for meals.
