cubbyhole
Tiny storage space
A cubbyhole is a small, snug compartment or space for storing things—originally a recess in a wall or furniture, now any cramped enclosure: She keeps her keys in a cubbyhole by the door.
The term extends to tiny rooms or offices: He works out of a cubbyhole in the basement.
Sometimes shortened to cubby.
