storeroom
Where goods wait
A storeroom is a room used for storing supplies, equipment, or goods not currently needed.
Businesses keep inventory in storerooms; homes have storerooms for seasonal items, bulk purchases, or overflow: The janitor's storeroom held cleaning supplies and spare light bulbs.
The word implies organized storage rather than mere clutter.
