Formal Dining Rooms

The Dining Room

The very words imply hospitality–dining room. A space apart from the hustle and bustle of busy, often hectic lives, it’s the place to enjoy the good things that come when you gather to dine with family and friends. Never mind if your dining room isn’t formal, or even if it’s not a separate room. A corner in the great room, a breakfast nook, any sliver of space will do. The important word here is “dining,” not eating on the run, but savoring–at leisure–the food and the people it’s shared with.

What are the three most popular dining options? The formal dining room, casual dining and the breakfast nook. Features of each are described below.

Formal Dining Room:
Devoted solely to dining, this room is typically adjacent to the living room. Furniture can be of any style, but usually all pieces are from the same look. The table in the formal dining room typically seats eight or more people. A hutch or sideboard takes a place of prime importance for china display or serving. Window treatments and fabrics are as elegant as those in the formal living room.
