Dining Room Rail: In today's homes the space for dining room rail may be the traditional separate room or, especially in city apartments, an area set off from the rest of the living room, foyer, kitchen, or other room. Whichever, it should provide, simply, a comfortable place to eat.
If the dining room rail area is a room open to view from other rooms, its colors should be carefully related to those of adjoining rooms; for example, it may be in lighter, calmer values of a brilliant living room scheme. If the dining room rail area is part of another room, the furnishings of both areas must be imaginatively related in character and color scheme.
The limits of the dining room rail space may be indicated by a change in Wall or Floor treat¬ment or by using a piece of furniture, such as a screen or chest, as a room divider.
In a period dining room rail room, a strongly colored Wall enhances the grain and polish of softly glowing wood furniture. The deep warm tones of a wood-paneled room provide a foil for bril¬liant colors in upholstery or curtains. Patterned walls must be carefully selected so as not to overpower the diners or the furnishings, and the Floor should be plain. For many dining room rail rooms, a waxed and polished wood Floor sets off an area rug that is placed under the Table and extends far enough beyond it so that the chairs may be pushed back without hitting the wood floor.See Also Dining Room Guest:If guest folios are arranged on a dining room guest rack by dining room guest number, the easiest way to retrieve the folio is by asking for the dining room guest number. If a computer system is used, the guest record can be retrieved by dining room guest number or guest name. When the folio or record is found, the front desk representative should verify the guest name.
A well-trained representative asks guests if their stay was satisfactory. If any complaints are voiced, the representative should first apologize, and then note the problem in the log book.
The computer may also display a dining room guest map showing the Floor and location of dining room guests that are clean and ready to occupy.
After assigning or confirming the dining room guest number, the front desk representative fills in any missing information on the guest folio and gives the dining room guest key to the guest. In hotels with electronic locking systems, keys must be "programmed" for the proper dining room guest door before they are dispensed. The guest should be shown how to use the dining room guest key before leaving the front desk.
On The Other Hand See Dining Room Unfussy:The fruitwood dining room unfussy Table has an aged, Rustic feel and its simple lines look nicely unfussy. It's teamed with a Fifties leather chair that complements the other Furniture in the room and just begs you to Sink into it. In the alcove, a chest of drawers provides storage space while an old wooden Wall cabinet with glass doors is the perfect place to show off favourite glass and china.
There's an unfussy, elegant feel to this room and the accessories reflect that. Strong shapes work best, and large pieces like the bowl and chest on the console Table make a clean, clear impact that's just right in this simple, striking room.
