broom cupboard
Small utility closet
A broom cupboard is a small storage closet for cleaning supplies—brooms, mops, buckets, and the like.
The term is primarily British; Americans typically say broom closet.
Because these spaces are notoriously cramped, broom cupboard often describes any tiny room or workspace: My office is basically a broom cupboard.
