You haven't even seen the peach color scheme in the breakfast nook and kitchen!

oh please no. peach, yellow, red, I can't. I'm so sorry. lol

Here are some important tips regarding the piano. The sound will flow out into the room if you open the lid like a jewel box; see the forth item below. A rug is important for the piano too.

Your ceiling fan/light provides very poor ambient light (what you turn on to see how to get into the room in the dark.) Once in, accent and task lighting should be turned on while the ceiling light is dimmed or turned off. So you need floor and table lamps

deco, they prob do open it when it's time to play. leaving it open all the time allows dust to catch on the strings. I used to have a baby grand. I'd close it when I wasn't playing.

Pianos should be at least 10 feet from a fireplace, at least 4 feet from heat vents and should not be in direct sunlight.

Pianos should be placed with the base side against the wall and treble side toward the room and the player should be facing the room.

Beth H. - I was responding to the photo where the lid is open to illustrate how the OP might turn the piano, but that would throw the sound against the wall in their room. I was not suggesting they leave the lid up all the time or questioning the fact that the lid is closed in their photo.

IMO we need a to scale floor plan ato advise about furniture placement but right now you need lighting in different layers acenter light in a LR just creates shadows without having floor lamps, table lamps to fill in the shadows. Lighting the ceiling does noting for the space . I try to not use fans in LRs at all . I ahve to say that TV where it is is awful . Takes some pics of that whole space and surrounding spaces the piano is all wrong you need space for that . I would like to see a to scale floor plan of the whole living space . I would look at cable lighting in the space for ceiling layer .

You need help beyond the lighting:

If you don't NEED a fan don't have one. They are meant to move air, not light a space. They can provide a boost in light, but that is not the major purpose of a fan. A chandelier can provide ambient light. which is what ceiling light IS. that is ANY ceiling light.

Layers in lighting are necessary. Table lamps, standing lamps, accent lamps, sconces . task lamps - its nice to see the keyboard on the piano, or the sheet music above that key board.

A lot of it needs to to plug in! How and where with no table in sight, no horizontal surface anywhere?

As to the rest: Do you WANT a room with a brown floor, brown piano, brown endless sectional? Maybe you do. But even with all those elements, get some pro design help in there to off set the brown, liven the space with a rug, help with window treatment, and yes............attractively and functionally light the space.

For help here? Yes as asked above. . Measure and draw the space to 1/4 inch scale. Use inches, show every dimension, opening window etc, Provide the dimensions of the sectional. Help will be forthcoming........that suits YOUR room. Not a fantasy.

I agree. Skip the fan do you like something like this? Add a couple cans also

Before we go on attack mode to each other and the OP,..

Have you just moved into this space? Would you consider a different room layout? I see you plan to paint the walls, that is going to help a lot. Do you need a fan in this room? adding can lights I do not think will help, But because the layout is limiting where you might have a plug to put in a table lamp. Id love to see the other side of the room.

Thanks for the replies everyone and hope you enjoyed a few days away from Houzz for Thanksgiving (I did!). To answer a few questions...

Yes, we moved in not long ago from a few states away and had the movers place stuff where it currently sits. Work has been so busy that there just hasn't been much time to get around to the interior of the house yet. The majority of our focus has been getting the outdoors situated (new paver patio, tons of landscaping). We are definitely open to moving stuff around (I hate the TV location, but haven't thought about a better place for it).

The piano was my grandfathers and one of the ones I learned to play on. I keep the lid closed when it's not in use.

I do plan to keep the sectional (for now) since we paid good $$$ for it and it is in incredible condition still.

I don't think we NEED a fan, but in the North Carolina summer, it does help (a little) move air around. But, our HVAC system is really good and we only used the fan maybe 3-4 times during the summer after we moved in.

However we fix the lighting, the paint has to get changed as well!

This is not our forever house, so there isn't a huge desire to go absolutely crazy. But we will be here 4-6 years at least...

And yes, I owe a scale drawing and will work on that tomorrow.

And photos of the whole room! Thanks for the update!
