It breaks the legs and squareness look! And is still welcoming you at the keyboard. One table near the piano. One table near the couch. Cover them with a nice antique throw/taspestry. Put the picture going down the stairs. Put a taspetry/ fabric artpiece on the wall behind the piano. That will physically lengthen the height and be good for the acoustics. Can the couch also be angled? similar and opposite the new piano location? Right now it looks square to the door but also looks like it blocks off the feng shui entrance to the home. Yes on a bookcase or something to put music in. Yes on a floor lamp by the piano. Have fun with it. Break out of the box. If you don't like it, you can always move it again!

I noticed there isn't that much distance between the door and the piano, or is this due to the program your using? don't forget the chairs...

I am going with smaller chairs which I think will make it look more spacious and can be angled as recommended by Marty before.

(But I think your render has the topstick in the wrong hole. Other pianists have made the same mistake.) Last edited by Thrill Science; 04/03/13 10:41 AM. Robert Swirsky Thrill Science, Inc.

Not really expecting any audiences so that part is not a problem. MMM that door is rarely used and just partially opened but it does not get near the piano..guess my rendering is a bit off on that side. Originally Posted by Thrill Science I like the last option, with the piano angled and open toward the stairway rail. (But I think your render has the topstick in the wrong hole. Other pianists have made the same mistake.) Seems to me that the angled view is really becoming the favorite. I had my doubts until I did the rendering. Oh the model was taken from the internet..I have no skills for that PS:I just made a big mistake! I tested the Y185! Oh that bass... Last edited by shaolin95; 04/03/13 01:55 PM.
