extra space

More area available

Extra space is room beyond what's needed or expected.

In writing and typography, it refers to additional whitespace between characters, words, or lines—often unintentional: The document had extra space between paragraphs.

In physical contexts, it's surplus room: We have extra space in the garage if you need to store anything.
