Questions about this table

How much dungeon dressing is too much?

One to two details per room is usually the sweet spot for standard rooms. Set-piece rooms can handle three or four. If you notice players tuning out descriptions or trying to interact with every single object, scale back. The goal is atmosphere and occasional investigation hooks, not an exhaustive inventory of every room.

Should dungeon dressing ever be mechanically relevant?

Sometimes. Use a detail as a clue, cache, warning, or puzzle connection when the room needs one; let the rest remain atmosphere so every object does not become a required search.
