nooks or crannies
Small concealed spots
Nooks or crannies are small, hidden, or out-of-the-way spaces—the corners, crevices, and recesses where things might be tucked away or overlooked.
The phrase usually appears as every nook and cranny, meaning everywhere, leaving nothing unexplored: We searched every nook and cranny of the house.
