junkroom
Household overflow area
A junkroom is a room used to store miscellaneous items that have no designated place elsewhere—old furniture, boxes of keepsakes, broken appliances awaiting repair.
Most houses have one: The junkroom was so full we couldn't open the door.
Unlike an attic or basement, a junkroom is typically a repurposed bedroom or spare room.
