Thanks all for the comments so far. Let me see if I can respond: teacats - the chairs I bought first because I liked them and they were on sale! This was before we had even started looking at pianos (I originally thought we were just going to have an upright). I can't really return them so I think I have to work with them for now or maybe move them to another room in the future, if possible. I was disappointed in the rug color - it was a lot darker than the picture online. I still might be able to return it but I'm contemplating that one. It's a nice rug. I may be able to use it in the dining room instead. I was unsure on having the backs of the chairs to the door - you think that would work? The room is about 18' long x 13' wide. Your suggested artwork is very nice as well. I'll keep it in mind! pipdog - I thought about the corner by the window as well but that means the lid opens to the wall and its in the light and by the furnace register. The lamps aren't staying - they are just temporary for now! aktillery - thank you for that post. There are some other options to consider there. I need to figure out how to make a floor plan to scale so I can see if the room is big enough to have the piano more toward the center. I'm afraid for the piano by the window. My parents' black piano faded over time because it was right by a huge picture window (and still is) cyn427 - I'm having a hard time visualizing what you mean. The corner to the left as you walk in? Seems like the piano would stick out in front of the door but maybe I'll have to try it. It's only 5' long (it's a baby baby!)

Hello. What smart room with tremendous design!! I would not begin to move furniture. I would not begin to change something in this room. It already looks perfectly.

@Tootsie: The fireplace is non-working/covered, so there's no issue there. It is visually the focal point of the room, though.

Would you consider at least getting a smaller TV? It's massive for your room. If you're keeping it, then please don't put it over the fireplace. You need another focal point. Instead, find a beautiful square art work for over the fireplace to pull the eye away from the screen. Get drapes for the window, again to balance out the huge dark pieces taking up almost all the visual space: TV, big leather sofas.Beverly's layout seems the best since it opens up some space for your passageways on the right.
