Before replacing furniture, identify whether the issue comes from visual penetration, movement collision, or lighting imbalance.

3-step execution

• Step 1: Track where interruptions happen around the entry line.

Common mistakes

Replacing large furniture too early, ignoring pathway width, and adding too many decorative objects that reduce usability.
