Help me think about how to decorate my piano room

I think a high top bistro table with two chairs would work very well.
Facebook Marketplace.

this pic shows a small table (in service elsewhere) that I bought at your recommendation (not this specific table but you rec’ed I find a table)
What can I say? I'm stuck in a rut.
I know you said you might do round, but if you did rectangular I think I'd turn it 90 degrees. Maximizes space for each of the people sitting in the chairs to put something on the table without one of them having to reach to the wall to get to their glass or plate.

That's an interesting idea, and I'm assuming that would be in lieu of the two chairs on the red circles wall. The armless red chair on the adjoining wall has a low profile, though, and I'm having trouble visualizing how the tall table and chairs would look on one wall with something quite low on the adjoining wall.
If I were to attend your recital, I’d want chairs with arms,
the parsons style you posted --especially the 2nd one with the nailhead back-- looks more living-room-y)
No nailhead and it's not black...lol...but might something like this work?

@Steve-Miller I like the look of high top chairs, but me and Mr SK don’t like them, probably bc we’re too short! So that’s a no-go for us.
I wonder if a 12” or so square table might be nice, instead of round maybe

Or this. I would pick a black frame and espresso top:

@wtg I’ll check the footprint on a chair like that.
I think it's a dining chair with arms so the footprint should be the same.
-
For the chair, something like 21"D x 18" W x 38" H. That's truly dining room chair size, it could be a little wider to accommodate the arms, but I don't want it to be much deeper. And it's tricky because depending on the angle of the back, the actual footprint could be larger. Like this chair, it's most certainly more than 19.7" deep, but the dimensions don't make that clear.
This chair's info does a better job:

I wish I could find these in black fabric (they have them in black leather, I don't want that)

I'm leaning toward one of these
I think I need to go to a furniture store tomorrow...

So, could I get away with blue chairs in the piano room, instead of black?
ETA there’s almost nothing blue in this room, except for whatever shows up in the circles print.
There’s green in the rug, but I haven’t seen any green chairs.
Maybe I should reconsider tan/beige/light colored?
So, here’s the new question:
What would be the best color for the chairs? From this list:
Black
Tan/beige/cream
Blue
Red
Dark gray (charcoal etc.)
Some other colorMaybe we could rank the options?
TIA!!

I would not go with light beige/cream - I think you want something that stands out a bit against your walls - plus they get dirty fast. I like the idea of black or dark gray. Red would work but the other chair is red and you don't want to look like you tried to match and failed so you'd need to be careful about the shade.
One of the shades of brown or green from the rug would work well I think or even the tan in the rug. A brown like this could work (and they also come in green!) : https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/latitude-run-dulcine-velvet-upholstered-armchair-set-of-2-w110770525.html?piid=1191181425
I like the geometric shape of those too - it picks up the straight lines in the rug and it echoes the feel of those 3d art pieces (the semicircles and lines) with the round cushions and back and the straight square legs.I would check out the AtHome store - they may have some chairs as well with an easy return policy for the win!

I think you're right. I've been playing around with C&Ping chairs onto a photo of my room, and the light colored ones are blah.
I love that chair you linked from Wayfair! I actually wonder if that blue would work, given how dark it is, and the black frame... lemme grab a photo....

@ShiroKuro i like that shape against the rectangles in your rug.
