Sometimes designing a living room completely depends on the area of the room, the direction of the room, your preferences, age of members living in the house since some designs are difficult to maintain with toddlers.

Try this: put the three cushion sofa where the two cushion sofa is. Put it perpendicular to the window.
Next, put the single brown chair where the three cushion sofa is now.
Next, put the two cushion sofa where the brown chair is now. Place it perpendicular to the window, so it faces the other sofa.
You have now created a seating niche by the window, and a second niche of two single chairs between the piano and the fire place.
Finally, get a substantial coffee table that fits between the two sofas. Best of luck!

Can you show us more of the surrounding rooms? It would be helpful in determining walkways, perspective, etc.

There’s just a wall behind the couch and in the original photo I was standing in the kitchen if that makes sense!

I see it now - Thank you!

Will the piano fit on that wall behind the couch - even if you have to put it as far to the right as possible, covering a couple of cubbies?

If so, that would be the ideal. Then you could move the furniture to ‘face’ the fireplace and balance the room.

BTW, I love your new furniture!

Is to feasible to exchange the three cushion sofa for another two cushion one? Arranging the room would be so much easier that way.

I love your sofas! agree, if piano could possibly be moved to the wall behind the three seater as suggested above, it would give you more options and function for your living area :). And it wouldn’t compete visually with your lovely fireplace and windows.

Loveseats (2 cushion sofas) are the bane of good arrangements, and they rarely seat more than one person. Only lovers want to sit that close, and most will only occupy the two end seats on the 3-seat sofa; its a conversational space thing. I would exchange the loveseat for another chair. A 3-seater and two chairs are the most flexible for arranging and rearranging. I think salespeople get a bonus when they push these loveseats. The piano will be healthier on an interior wall, so I agree with Mary about moving it to the wall behind the 3-seater. Do you plan to have TV here?

Is it possible to move the piano toward kitchen enough so left side lines up with edge of rug? Does the recliner have to stay in the room? If so, than I would place couch centered on window with chairs across from it and try the love seat on piano wall but pulled in away from wall. A coffee table to ground the space. If recliner can be removed than place love seat opposite couch.
If piano can't be moved down than I agree to try the wall behind couch.

It sure looks like the piano would fit on that wall. It looks like it has to be at least 5 feet (upright pianos are all about 5 feet wide).

Thank you everyone! I can’t move the piano to be in line with the rug because there’s actually another window there, I’ll include a picture. I’ve also thought of moving it to the wall behind the couch but we have a baseboard heater there unfortunately. I will be keeping the recliner for now as I have three small children that I frequently rock in it. I wish I could swap the sofa out for another couch but it was part of a set from Costco so I guess I’m stuck as it is!

Are the cubbies built in? It looks as though they are separate from the wall. If that’s the case, why don’t you remove (and relocate) the cubbies from under the far window next to the fireplace and put the piano there? If there is five feet of width, that would be the next best option. Even if they are attached, you might consider removing them.

I know that ”Where are we going to put the piano and the Christmas tree?” is always a major consideration when we’ve gone house-hunting!

If your walls are well insulated it shouldn’t harm the instrument. You might have to have it tuned a little more frequently, but that’s not a bad thing.

It doesn’t look like there would be much direct sunlight in that location either (and you could lower the blind on the taller window in the afternoon if necessary), so no worries about the casing. As long as there isn’t a vent that would blow directly on it, the piano should be very happy there.

And believe me, the further away from everyone else in the house during “practice time” the better! ;)

Hello Anna,

Can we have measurements of the room and pictures from various angles? That would help. Also, what are the measurements of your couches and chairs?

@Mae Day Organizing and Interior Design The room is 20‘ x 15‘ 6” and the furniture is all 38” deep and 34”, 59.5” and 85.5“ inches wide. I’ll attach more photos (Don’t mind the old pillows and throws, just haven’t replaced bought anything new yet).

perfect Anna. I will put together a 3D rendition for you with the furniture. It will take me until tomorrow to do the virtual construction. I may need the measurement of the windows as well their width and distance apart. Thank you for the info so far it really helps.

MAE

Some folks just draw a rough sketch on a piece of paper and attach it for me.

Thank you! I also measure the piano to put beside the fireplace but it was 5” too wide..

Wow Anna. That was amazing fast. Okay then. I will get to work on it. It is late where I am so I will start on this tomorrow. See you then.

MAE

What is the measurement of the wall that co-joins the kitchen and built in bench?

Following

I would put the 3 seat couch in front of the fireplace and a chair on each side of the fireplace. It seems you have to much furniture for the room. Add a coffee table or big ottoman in front of the couch and end table on either side. Will the piano fit on the kitchen wall? Maybe move the loveseat to another room.

Wonderful, thanks! I believe it’s 8’

Hello Anna, MAE here. I am working on 3D build right now. Just wanted to be certain; the 20' wall is the wall that the fireplace is on?

I got it Anna The wall with all of the windows is the 20' wall.

Hi Anna - I would put large sofa in front of window wall and love seat across from it. Chairs could be either side of F/P.. Love your new furniture!. I'd use ottomans in front of couch and LS.

Hello Anna,

Here is the 3D build and furniture layout for your viewing pleasure. Hope it helps.

MAE

@Mae Day Organizing and Interior Design - Wow. That was so nice of you! You are incredibly talented; it looks fantastic!

How kind you are to take the time to show Anna how beautiful her furniture can look. It’s lovely now, but you were able to elevate it to another level.

And I LOVE the drapes and sofa table that you added. Nicely done.

Happy to help. Have a great day. MAE

Are you talking about the wall heater under the picture window? If so, a metal open leg couch table could still go there behind The three seater couch without removing the wall heater. Just in case he doesn't want to take it out. Perhaps he would be willing to put it on the other wall. Where the piano is now . That is if you like the way the rendition is laid out and you are willing to move the piano to the wall that it is on in the rendition.

Best wishes,

MAE
