wasted space
Room serving nothing
Wasted space is area that serves no useful purpose—room that could be put to better use but isn't: The layout leaves too much wasted space in the corners.
The phrase often appears in design, architecture, and storage contexts.
Figuratively, calling a person wasted space is a harsh dismissal of their value or contributions.
