1st, the kitchen is beautiful! 2nd, definitely add cabinetry on both sides of the fireplace. That will add storage & more style to the room. The extra storage can hide the toys! 3rd, add an accent chair opposite the sofa. 4th, add curtains. 5th, add wall decor. Another tip is to try something out for a week. If you don't like it then try something else for a week. You have a beautiful space! Enjoy.

a larger area rug.

I would spin the sectional so the largest side backs up to the kitchen area.

I'd put the piano where that mirror and table are...

fill the fireplace wall with enclosed storage, a built-in to unify the space with the fireplace.

Agree with Lyn above; piano should be where the mirror/table are. Do you have room for those in the foyer? You need the right sized rug. I would put a pair of matching storage credenzas on either side of the fireplace with TV above the one near the window and on an articulated arm or a swivel base so it can be toggled to face the sofa, which you should turn with the larger portion to the kitchen. Credenza should be 25% wider than your TV is. Do you have room for that on either side? Add art above the second credenza.

Don't tuck the piano in a corner - it will never get used there! I agree - where the mirror is would be a better spot.

I'm a big fan of Ikea's Kallax cubbies/drawers, especially for a more casual living space filled with kids toys and things. They last a long time, are hard to damage, and don't cost a lot. One would fit perfectly where the piano is now.

I believe that your upright piano should be placed on an inside wall for optimal performance. Matching storage cabinets flanking either side of the fireplace will be a nice way of balancing things out and storing toys, etc. I would take the tv off the mantle and put it on the left side where the piano is now located (for less glare) on an articulating arm. And center the sectional with the longest portion facing the fireplace. A console behind it with a lamp on it will bring layered light to the room. A larger rug and some more chairs for seating….done! Lovely home!

Thank you all for the input. I'm having some quotes for built-ins during the week. My concern, since we extended the kitchen cabinetry to span the whole wall, and we're adding cabinetry on the fireplace wall, will that seem like overload? Should I look at separate furniture cabinet pieces instead?

IMO 2 lower cabinets for storage mount the TV at the proper viewing height above one and a nice piece of art above the other the TV is way too high where it is I like Besta from Ikea for this type of use then the piano where you have the console table and make the kids put their stuff away at the end of the day

What do you guys recommend for above the fireplace if I have tv and art above the 2 storage cabinets?
