Summaries of content, keywords and links generated by algorithms. Thank you smmry.com:

Summary 1: We have already pointed out how vitally important all kinds of communal eating are in helping to maintain a bond among a group of people - COMMUNAL EATING; and we have given some idea of how the common eating may be placed as part of the kitchen itself - FARM HOUSE KITCHEN.

Summary 2: Some rooms invite people to eat leisurely and comfortably and feel together, while others force people to eat as quickly as possible so they can go somewhere else to relax.

Summary 3: Put a light over the table to create a pool of light over the group, and enclose the space with walls or with contrasting darkness.

Summary 4: Above all, when the table has the same light all over it, and has the same light level on the walls around it, the light does nothing to hold people together; the intensity of feeling is quite likely to dissolve; there is little sense that there is any special kind of gathering.

Summary 5: When there is a soft light, hung low over the table, with dark walls around so that this one point of light lights up people's faces and is a focal point for the whole group, then a meal can become a special thing indeed, a bond, communion.

Summary 6: Get the details of the light from POOLS OF LIGHT ; and choose the colors to make the place warm and dark and comfortable at night - WARM COLORS; put a few soft chairs nearby - DIFFERENT CHAIRS; or put BUILT-IN SEATS with big cushions against one wall; and for the storage space - OPEN SHELVES and WAIST-HIGH SHELF.....
