Dining rooms are that part of the house where the whole family gets together to have dinner.

It usually places close to the kitchen and sometimes is skillfully blended with the living room. Dining rooms should make you really feel “at home”.

New report on the future of interior design predicts that dining rooms are headed for the same fate as shag carpets. Under-used and collecting dust, dining rooms are slated to transition into the new space for expanding home offices and household entertainment centers. Actually, dining rooms have been downsizing since the Middle Ages where they started off as the giant dining halls of castle owners to more intimate rooms known as parlors to the eventual dining rooms we’re familiar with today.
