A Dining Room is a room specifically designed for formal dining and entertaining, typically centred around a dining table and accompanied by dining chairs, sideboards, display cabinets and decorative lighting. During the Georgian and Victorian periods, dining rooms became increasingly elaborate, incorporating fine furniture, silver, ceramics and works of art to create an impressive setting for hospitality. Today, antique dining furniture remains highly valued for both period and contemporary interiors. *Related Terms*\ Dining Chair, Dining Table, Drawing Room, Sideboard, Tableware.
