study nook

Small workspace area

A study nook is a small, dedicated space for reading or working, typically set into an alcove, corner, or under a staircase.

The appeal lies in coziness and containment—a defined spot away from household activity: She converted the closet under the stairs into a study nook.

Real estate listings and home design favor the term for compact spaces that don't qualify as full offices.
