Help me think about how to decorate my piano room
-
@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.

Need a guideline - What's the footprint you're shooting for?

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)

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....

The trick is, dark brown w/ black frame...
I wish I could sit it in before buying, I don't think I've ever sat in a chair like that...

I think @Lisa is spot on about everything. She needs to consider a career in interior design!
Another vote for the round one. I'm guessing the height is similar to the red chair, which I think would look balanced.
If you go with a color for the chair, I would consider the rug and the red circles art when making my choice.
