broom closets
Small utility spaces
Broom closets are small storage spaces, typically narrow and shallow, designed to hold cleaning supplies—brooms, mops, buckets, dustpans.
The term extends to any cramped utility space: The IT department was crammed into what used to be a broom closet.
The phrase suggests minimal, overlooked space rather than proper accommodation.
