A dining room is a room for consuming food. Today it is adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving usually, although in medieval times it was on an entirely 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 generally rectangular with two armed end chairs and an even variety of un-armed side chairs over the long sides.In the centre Ages, upper course Britons and other European nobility in castles or large manor homes dined in the fantastic 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 head table on an elevated dais, with the rest of the population arrayed in order of diminishing rank away from them. Desks in the great hall would have a tendency to be long trestle dining tables with benches. The utter number of people in a Great Hall meant it would probably experienced a active, bustling atmosphere.Suggestions that it could have been quite smelly and smoky are most likely also, by the benchmarks of the right time, unfounded. These rooms acquired large chimneys and high ceilings and there would have been a free circulation of air through the numerous door and windowpane openings.It is true that the owners of such properties started out to build up a taste for additional personal gatherings in smaller 'parlers' or 'privee parlers' off the primary hall but this is regarded as due as much to political and sociable changes as to the greater comfort afforded by such rooms. In the beginning, the Black Death that ravaged Europe in the 14th Hundred years caused a lack of labour which had led to a breakdown in the feudal system. Also the religious 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 took more of their foods in the parlour, and the parlour became, functionally, a dining room (or was put into two independent rooms). It migrated further from the fantastic Hall also, often seen via grand ceremonial staircases from the dais in the fantastic Hall. Eventually eating in the fantastic Hall became something that was done generally on special events.Toward the start of the 18th Century, a pattern surfaced where the females of the house would withdraw after evening meal from the dining area to the pulling room. The gentlemen would stay in the dining room having drinks. The dining area tended to take on a far more masculine tenor as a total final result.A typical UNITED STATES dining room will contain a table with recliners arranged over the factors and ends of the table, and also other furniture pieces, (often used for saving formal china), as space permits. Often desks in modern kitchen 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. Even though "typical" family dining experience is at a wooden table or some kind of kitchen area, some choose to make their eating out rooms convenient by using couches or comfortable chairs.In modern American and Canadian homes, the dining area is typically adjacent to the living room, being increasingly used limited to formal kitchen with friends or on special situations. For casual daily foods, most medium size properties and much larger will have a space adjacent to the kitchen where table and chairs can be placed, larger spaces are often known as a dinette while a smaller one is called a breakfast time nook. Smaller houses and condominiums may instead have a breakfast time pub, often of a different level than the standard kitchen counter (either raised for stools or decreased for chair). In case a home does not have a dinette, breakfast nook, or breakfast bar, then the kitchen or family room will be utilized for day-to-day eating.This was the truth in Britain customarily, where the dining area would for most families be used only on Sundays, other meals being eaten in the kitchen.In Australia, the utilization of a dining room is still prevalent, yet no essential part of modern home design. For some, it is considered a space to be utilized during formal events or activities. Smaller homes, akin to the Canada and USA, use a breakfast table or bar put within the confines of a kitchen or living space for meals.
