When to use into?
Into often has the meaning of transformation.
He turned into a monster.
He turned in to the gas station.
We also use into when we combine the prepositions in and to(but NOT when in is part of a phrasal verb).

In this case, we need the preposition “in” to show the space of the sitting room and “to” for movement. This is the situation when you can combine “in” and “to” to form into.
