If a living image is in a room, do the angels not enter the entire house? And likewise if it is in an apartment of a building? And does the non-entry of the angels necessitate

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says: It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) that he said:
Angels do not enter a house in which there is a picture. لا تدخل الملائكة بيتا فيه صورة
Sahih Muslim 2106e
And it is known to me that the images are those with souls, so if the image is in one of the rooms of the house, do the noble angels not enter the entire house? And likewise if it is in a building?
And does the non-entry of the angels necessitate the entry of the devils?
It appears that if it is in one room, the entry of the angels to the rest of the house is not prevented, and likewise, a fortiori, if it is in a building, it does not prevent the angels from entering the rest of the apartments.
As for whether the non-entry of the angels necessitates the entry of the devils?
It is not necessitated, but we do not know; Allah knows best. Yes.
