Here is one example in a small traditional living room with piano design carefully incorporated by a decision to decorate the corner of the living room with a baby grand.
Baby grand piano placement in small room.
The pianist would sit with back to the fp looking out both windows.
A grand piano can also be placed at a 45 degree angle 1 3 or 1 5 of the way between a diagonal corner.
As in this case the architecture can lend itself to the piano placement.
The grand piano is.
In smaller rooms pianos sound best when there s a 1 1 second reverberation time meaning that it takes this long for sound to reflect from the walls ceilings and floors in the room.

Living room with two green accent walls and a grand piano in the corner that looks elegant.
The first idea on how to arrange furniture around a baby grand piano is the placement of the baby grand piano.
The fireplace or tv can be the main focal paint.
This placement enables the bass low frequency sound to bounce from the wall into the room and the treble to be projected clear out into the middle of the room for the best sound.
If your living room is big you can have two or three focal points.
Float the piano on an angle opposite it with the lid opening back in the window direction so the sound escapes into the room.
Move the clock to your foyer.
It becomes part of the piano room décor.
Likewise never place a baby grand piano near a radiator ceiling fans or any kind of extreme heat or cold.
From the front of the keyboard to the back a baby grand piano measures 5 feet or under a boudoir grand piano measures 5 to 7 feet while a concert grand is around 9 feet.
I have a schimmel k189 piano and the room for it isn t very big.
Most under 7 foot grand pianos can look quite short small but in fact the area that it takes up is huge.
If the living room features the longest wall you can set it in the corner space.
But then it might just be my piano.
It can be the only focal point in the room.
It should not be placed too close to a window where sunlight could have negative effects both on the finish and acoustics of a baby grand.
