Elizabeth, I'm a little thrown off by that tiny word "of" -- this makes the room active or animate; unless we're into fantasy or sci-fi, I don't think of rooms as being able to act; they have atmosphere, of course. The more usual word would be "in". However I have a second sentence in mind and will let the imagination go on from there.

Well using the word of does give the room somewhat animation. It is not necc. sci fi or anything though. You can in if you feel it suits you better though

I used "of" because you gave it. I think a serious writer needs to consider every word, including prepositionis.
