I think part of the issue is you have no foacl point . I think the 3 rd chair is not a good choice and maybe a nice lamp on the table between the othr chairs . A much larger piece of art on that chair wall or maybe a nice electric FP and remove the corner cabinet and place the sofa facing the FP could you post a pic of the piano wall too and a to scale floor plan would be great . Are you open to some new pieces ? Is anything else being done in this space ?

Thank you! All great ideas. So to be clear on what you suggest, sofa floating in the room facing the chair wall? Yes, we have lots of plans including new flooring throughout the house,  updating furniture or recovering existing pieces and I would love to turn the two walls on either side of the entryway into floor to ceiling bookshevelves and paint the entire wall a statement colour, like a deep green. All of the furniture is second hand to us but with young kids we are picking away at projects. The piano isn't something we *need* to keep but again, then I'm not sure what to do with that short wall...? My rough outline of the space attached.

Great room! Some thoughts to open it up a bit--don't fill every wall.

--Rehome corner cabinet; bookcase by entryway; modern chair

--Move piano to one of the walls by entryway

--Float sofa to face far wall.

--Put a long, low storage bookcase across the entire wall at the far end with a large art work and storage below for the children. (Or the configuration below kind of like you have it is a good layout as well. You could then put a chair at each end of a larger coffee table.)

--Place two upholstered chairs to face the sofa with a large coffee table reachable from the chairs.

Housegal, great ideas. One hitch, I can't rehome the piano to another wall bc it's too big. It's either got to go or has to stay.

I had a similar living room and piano, I know know how challenging it can be! End wall had couch with chairs on each side with side tables and lamps. Art above the couch. Big window had 2 chairs with a table in between.
I'd try your hutch in the corner by the entry and opposite the piano. Good luck!

Is this your primary living room? I agree you need to create a focal point, perhaps around the main use. If music is a focus I might move the corner cabinet to the dining room, and put the piano on that far wall in the center with a large dramatic painting of color over it. and the two circle chairs on either side. Then, I‘d create a conversation grouping, leave the sofa in front of the window and put the two club chairs across from it or one on each side. I‘d try the end tables next to the sofa. In the corner where the piano is now, I’d make a reading nook, or other electronic music area, or bar for entertaining. A tall bookcase or storage bar piece would add some height there. On the other wall near the entry I’d just do a group of 3 art pieces hung vertically or a big mirror or family photos .
