Formal dining rooms are dining spaces that tend to separate from the open dining nook or dining room.
Formal dining rooms are distinguished by walls, doors, columns, soffits, and archways. These spaces are usually more decorated than a space that your family uses as a casual space, perfect for entertaining and special occasions.
Formal dining rooms are more common in
house plan styles like
traditional,
craftsman, tuscan, and european styles but can be incorporated into newer styles as well. Consider this feature when buying a
