…a room that smelled of paint. Faint voices, apparently in an argument, came from behind the locked door.
“You know,” said one, “that sounds like us in there…”

Various aspects of the room seem purposely asymmetrical suggesting that 41 is the correct choice. [Independent Credit: Vewatkin / Mazecast | White Raven] [This solution is incomplete]
This is speculative, unconfirmable and meaningless, but–
Ball-and-claw furniture feet typically depict a dragon’s claw holding the ball. Could it be that here we have a human’s hand, and the room is gigantic, because this is a dragon’s den? That as human furniture has dragon claws, a dragon’s furniture has human hands?
Whoops, wrong room. Well, you know what I mean.
