A dining room is an area for eating food. In modern times it will always be adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving, although in medieval times it was on an totally different floor level often. Historically the dining room is furnished with a sizable dining table and a number of dining chairs rather; the most frequent shape is normally rectangular with two armed end chairs and an even number of un-armed side chairs along 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 large multi-function room capable of seating the bulk of the population of the house. The grouped family would sit at the head table on an elevated dais, with all of those other population arrayed to be able of diminishing rank from them. Tables in the great hall would tend to be long trestle furniture with benches. The utter number of men and women in an excellent Hall meant it would probably have had a occupied, bustling atmosphere.Suggestions that it could also have been quite smelly and smoky are probably, by the criteria of the right time, unfounded. These rooms had large chimneys and high ceilings and there is a free flow of air through the many door and home window openings.It is true that the owners of such properties began to develop a taste for more personal gatherings in smaller 'parlers' or 'privee parlers' off the main hall but this is thought to be due as much to political and social changes regarding the higher comfort afforded by such rooms. In the beginning, the Black Death that ravaged European countries in the 14th Century caused a shortage of labour which had resulted in a break down in the feudal system. Also the religious persecutions following the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII managed to get unwise to talk freely before many people.Over time, the nobility required more of their meals in the parlour, and the parlour became, functionally, a dining area (or was split into two split rooms). It migrated further from the Great Hall also, often reached via grand ceremonial staircases from the dais in the Great Hall. Eventually eating in the fantastic Hall became something that was done primarily on special events.Toward the beginning of the 18th Century, a pattern surfaced where the girls of the home would withdraw after supper from the dining area to the drawing room. The gentlemen would remain in the dining area having drinks. The dining room tended to defend myself against a more masculine tenor as a result.A typical North American dining area will include a table with seats arranged across the factors and ends of the table, and also other furniture pieces, (often used for storing formal china), as space permits. Often tables in modern dinner rooms will have a removable leaf to allow for the larger number of individuals present on those special situations without taking up extra space when not in use. Even though "typical" family eating out experience is at a wooden table or some kind of cooking area, some choose to make their kitchen rooms convenient by using couches or comfortable chair.In modern Canadian and North american homes, the dining room is typically next to the living room, being significantly used limited to formal eating with guests or on special occasions. For casual daily foods, most medium size properties and larger will have a space adjacent to your kitchen where desk and recliners can be positioned, larger spaces tend to be known as a dinette while a smaller one is called a breakfast nook. Smaller properties and condos may instead have a breakfast time pub, often of any different elevation than the standard kitchen counter-top (either brought up for stools or lowered for chairs). If a true home lacks a dinette, breakfast time nook, or breakfast bar, then the family or kitchen room will be utilized for day-to-day eating.This is customarily the situation in Britain, where the dining area would for many families be used only on Sundays, other meals being ingested in the kitchen.In Australia, the utilization of a dining room is still prevalent, yet not an essential part of modern home design. For most, it is considered an area to be used during formal get-togethers or situations. Smaller homes, akin to the Canada and USA, use a breakfast bar or table located within the confines of a kitchen or living space for meals.
