Mount the screen on the wall, get rid of the large furniture piece near the door. Create a small seating area where that is, with a couple of chairs and a small table.

I don’t know anything about pianos, but yours DOES look squeezed back into that corner. You have a lovely, average size room and the piano is very large, so you need little else. A couple of chairs and a table, as suggested.

Agree with Trailrunner to turn the piano and add a rug. Love her room, and yours will be nice too.

Yes - turn the piano and position so it's not blocking the windows. Not only would it look better, it would sound better opening out into the room rather than toward the walls.

Is there room to mount the screen with one panel on the adjoining wall? Turn the piano clockwise so that the player is facing into that corner; the light will be over their shoulder. Do you need a cabinet or shelving for music?

@bpath thats a good idea also. Try that first then keep turning if need be . DH said no light in eyes! He’s extremely light sensitive so that’s a consideration. It would at least get the open lid facing out of the room .

If anyone is looking for an amazing light source the light he uses is a Z bar it’s our 2 nd one he has one for each piano. Amazing light with no glare and infinite control by sliding your fingers on the bar.

The last picture brings back such great memories in college when DH & I put my piano in the dining room, wood floor, no carpet, and when we had get-togethers with guitarist and fiddlers, the acoustics were FANTASTIC. No other furniture except some chair.

I wish you lots of fun!

I might consider turning the piano so that the flat side with the hinge is up against the flat wall where the screen is. That gets it as far away from the windows as possible (sunlight=bad for pianos) and when the piano lid is open, it will open into the room. Plus the player gets to look out at the room/audience and not into a corner. You could then put seating along the other wall - maybe a bench or bookshelf under the left side window?

Thanks everyone, a lot to think about. The rug really helps defined the space and I like the idea of turning the piano, although no easy feet.

@kdo I know what you mean about moving the piano. It's a beast !! I see you have the pads under the feet. It helps at least you can slide it. With the wood floors it's still a danger in this old house that it will crease the wood. It happened in our last 1890 home. You could hear the grain in the wood snapping !!! Had to get several STRONG guys to pick it up...600 # ! I hope you will post back. Your room has so much potential. What size and brand is your grand ? c

My sister has a 7’ grand. Some how my DBIL figured out how he could get under it on his hands and knees and raise up each leg a little at a time while Sister then slipped a cloth pad of some sort under each leg. After each leg had a pad under it, they could scoot it around without a great deal of effort.

In their current house, the piano is upstairs in the bonus room. Movers put it up there without damaging the house or the piano. Nevertheless, my sister could not stand to watch.

When you own a grand piano, it pays to know some professional piano movers.
