Completely normal to be thrown by this. Isn't the room/location considered part of the frame considered really important in some types of therapy and there is a huge emphasis on the importance of maintaining that frame (i.e keeping it consistent). I imagine for some people it wouldn't bother them at all but depends on your focus of the therapy. Also, moving room does give you just a teeny tiny little bit more entry into their life as another poster mentioned. It's enticing to see more too.
Found this really interesting as I had a very similar experience. ...

And it took me months to actually talk to him about my reaction to seeing him petting his fluffy white dog the one time. He seemed thrown off that it had that much of an effect on me, but it was the first time I'd seen him being affectionate to another creature (plus he said how the dog was "really needy," which affected me, because I feel like I'm needy, and he accepts the dog being needy, which...seemed like a much bigger thing when I waited a couple of months to bring it up).

A delivery drive came to drop something off right as I was entering the room so my T had to sign it and engage with the driver.....I had never seen or heard my T really engage with anyone else and affected me way more than I thought it should have at the time....
