A character reaches a doorway, but the story pauses for a full inventory of the room. Sometimes that pause suits the piece. If it drains momentum, try revealing the setting through the action already underway.
Choose a route through the space
Give the character a simple task: carry a tray to a table or search for a seat. Describe the details that affect the route. A narrow gap, a loose rug or an occupied chair becomes part of the scene because it changes what happens.
This is an invented writing exercise. You can create the room freely, but keep its arrangement consistent once the action begins.
Add orientation before decoration
The reader may need to know where the door and table are before learning the exact colour of every cushion. Decide which spatial relationships prevent confusion, then choose decorative details that contribute to the mood or viewpoint.
Read the passage without its adjectives. If you can no longer follow the movement, the problem may be orientation rather than a shortage of description.
Allow a pause when someone would notice
A character who stops at a window may naturally attend to the view. A character struggling with a heavy tray may not. Let attention follow the situation instead of giving every narrator the same room-by-room tour.
For a smaller exercise, try describing one object through two concerns. Selective attention can introduce a place and a person together, without requiring a separate paragraph to explain each.
