overfurnished

Excessively filled room

Overfurnished describes a space with too much furniture, creating a cramped or cluttered effect.

The word implies excess rather than abundance—a room so filled with sofas, tables, and chairs that movement becomes difficult or the eye has nowhere to rest: The Victorian parlor was dark and overfurnished.
