storage area

Place for stuff

A storage area is a space designated for keeping items not in active use.

The term applies across scales—from a closet or garage to a warehouse or rented unit.

In computing, storage area sometimes refers to allocated memory or disk space.

We cleared out the storage area in the basement.
