HELP! Add seating to this room?

I have a dining room that I want to use for a different purpose (other than dining). I am not sure how to stage furniture in this room. It is 10' x 13' and one door feeds from the entryway, the other to the kitchen. I have an upright piano, and am wondering if I should move it into this room and add furniture, like a few club chairs, or an L-shaped couch. We have previously used it as the music room, but am open to suggestions as to furniture, type and location as well as rug and purpose.

A great space for piano, two swivel chairs and an end table in between. The end table, if cabinet style, could hold materials from the skinny bookcase (to be removed). Change light fixture from dining style chandieleir to a more transitional ceiling light fixture.

I wouldn’t add the piano unless you are keeping it as a music room.
I think a sectional would be too large for the room.
A loveseat and 2 accent chairs feels appropriate.
What’s your style?

The house is traditional in style, which is fine. I like mixing traditional and modern, but this house doesn’t allow for much of a modern aesthetic. Here’s. Picture of our living rooms for context:

What kind of loveseat and chairs would fit this style and space?

With the 6-8 foot reduced viewing distances for a 77" 4K tv this space could be a theater. Fill it with a sectional and one or more large ottomans. Mount the tv on the wall or a minimal console/stand. Good family lounging and casual snacking area.

The use of the space should in large part dictate what the layout of furnishings, etc. should be.
