A dining room is an area for consuming food. In modern times it is adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving usually, although in medieval times it was often on an totally different floor level. 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 an even amount of un-armed side chairs across the long sides.In the centre Ages, upper class Britons and other European nobility in castles or large manor homes dined in the great hall. This was a big 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 all of those other population arrayed in order of diminishing rank from them. Tables in the great hall would tend to be long trestle tables with benches. The absolute number of men and women in an excellent Hall meant it would probably have had a active, bustling atmosphere.Ideas that it could likewise have been quite smelly and smoky are probably, by the expectations of that time period, unfounded. These rooms acquired large chimneys and high ceilings and there is a free stream of air through the many door and windowpane openings.It is true that the owners of such properties commenced to develop a taste for additional close gatherings in smaller 'parlers' or 'privee parlers' off the main hall but this is thought to be due the maximum amount of to politics and sociable changes as to the increased comfort afforded by such rooms. In the beginning, the Black Fatality that ravaged European countries in the 14th Century caused a lack of labour which had resulted in a break down in the feudal system. Also the spiritual persecutions following the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII made it unwise to discuss freely before large numbers of people.Over time, the nobility needed more of their dishes in the parlour, and the parlour became, functionally, a dining room (or was put into two independent rooms). It migrated farther from the Great Hall also, often reached via grand ceremonial staircases from the dais in the fantastic Hall. Eventually eating out in the fantastic Hall became something that was done primarily on special situations.Toward the beginning of the 18th Hundred years, a pattern emerged where the girls of the home would withdraw after evening meal from the dining room to the drawing room. The gentlemen would remain in the dining area having drinks. The dining area tended to take on a far more masculine tenor as a complete end result.A typical UNITED STATES dining area will contain a table with chair arranged over the sides and ends of the desk, as well as other furniture pieces, (often used for stocking formal china), as space permits. Often dining tables in modern kitchen rooms will have a detachable leaf to allow for the bigger number of men and women present on those special events without taking on extra space when not in use. Even though the "typical" family eating experience reaches a wooden desk or some kind of cooking area, some choose to make their dining rooms more comfortable by using couches or comfortable chairs.In modern Canadian and North american homes, the dining room is adjacent to the living room typically, being progressively used only for formal eating out with friends or on special events. For casual daily meals, most medium size residences and much larger will have an area adjacent to your kitchen where desk and seats can be inserted, larger spaces are often known as a dinette while a smaller one is named a breakfast nook. Smaller residences and condominiums may instead have a breakfast time pub, often of an different level than the regular kitchen counter-top (either raised for stools or lowered for recliners). If a true home does not have a dinette, breakfast nook, or breakfast bar, then your family or kitchen room will be used for day-to-day eating.This was the case in Britain typically, where the dining area would for many families be used only on Sundays, other dishes being consumed in the kitchen.In Australia, the utilization of a dining area is prevalent still, yet not an essential part of modern home design. For some, it is considered a space to be used during formal occasions or celebrations. Smaller homes, akin to the Canada and USA, use a breakfast table or bar positioned within the confines of a kitchen or living space for meals.
