Weirdest name for a room/area in your home

[Persipan]

Inspired by my having rooms in my house called "horse's room"* *and "the pretend bedroom". I am surely not the only one to be this weird...

(Horse's room is actually a sort of study/craft room, but a hobby horse is stored there in amongst a load of rolls of wrapping paper, so apparently it's his room. The pretend bedroom is a sightly hard-to-define space which could be a perfectly sensible dining room only we don't have a dining table in it. Got fed up of calling it 'that room... in there' and my 3yo decided that we should pretend it's a bedroom.)

(Yes my house is quite big, but also exceptionally shabby and peculiar. My shopping list was 'big, cheap and weird' and I achieved all points.)

The cupboard under the stairs is called the Granny Flat. Back in the 70s, when we boxed it in and fitted shelves, my MiL was full of admiration. My husband said “good cos you are going to live in it”. Then it was just called that forever, to the puzzlement of all visitors.

The Pit of Doom... aka preteen DDs bedroom who can make a mess by just thinking about it.

Well there's the Glory Hole under the stairs!

We have 'the cupboard under the stairs' that isn't.

My parents live in a bungalow with no stairs. Yet they have a 'cupboard under the stairs'. When they moved there (nearly 30 years ago) from a house with a cupboard under the stairs they put all the stuff that had been in that in large cupboard in their new kitchen.

Our rooms are quite normally named. But we do have some strangely named things. My favourite being hagrid. The name of the back door off utility which came with a beautiful giant and knobbly hand rolled cast iron key.

Ie. ‘Is hagrid open’, ‘Have you locked hagrid?’, or ‘where is hagrid’ if the key goes walkies.

We had a very small extension at the back of our house and I was asking DH what we should call it (meaning playroom, conservatory, family room?). He laughed at me for being pretentious and suggested we call it the Alan Turing Room. It has stuck!

We have a Map Room. So called because it has a map of the world poster on the wall. Ds named it when he was small.

It's the spare room in a bog standard 1960s semi with a futon bed, all the laundry, the ironing board, but it sounds very grand.

I'm not sure if this counts but about a decade ago we had a couple of friends stay with out for a few months after a house sale fell through while they were arranging their new place.

The room they stayed in is still called Amy and Pauls room!

The Tardis for the garage, everything has to fit in, so it must be. Comments like, 'Put that in the Tardis if you want to keep it!'

We have two spare rooms we rent out to lodgers which are named by their paint colours, Gentle Sky and Pink Slip.

My parents have a room that is still referred to by the designation on the builders’ plans when they were renovating the house in the 90s, G1.

The room under the stairs is called "Harry's" from HP.👍😂

The hole.

Which is a soundproofed room, where I keep DH.

We have the cupboard formerly known as the tumble dryer cupboard

We have the Cat Cupboard. Named that because when we adopted a scared cat he hid there for two days before emergjng

no cats are currently kept in it

We have a grandiosely-named Servants’ Hallway (when we renovated our Victorian house we reinstated a blocked back passage that led from the kitchen to what must have once been the dining room, and because he ground floor has a strange layout, we have four hallways ) and a Midden (11-year-old’s bedroom). My grandmother’s house had a cupboard known as the cats’ choir.

The Pit which is full of DH’s shit.
The Sofa Bit which is the comfy seating area of kitchen diner.

Ooh I have "The Library"
(Spare room with a bookcase)

Sunday room, which was originally a room i had designed in 2012, to sit and read in.

The Squirrel Shelves - where we keep dried food/cans/anything that can keep for a long time, as in a squirrel storing food for hibernation.

The Lego House - the kids' room

Garage is named Smokey's House, after a cat who died 12 years ago but used to hang out there a lot. Current cat also likes it, but it's still Smokey's House not hers.

The Parlour - our living room. Because the kids asked what a parlour is and I struggled to answer because I didn't really know, and then they decided we should have one.

"[Dog's name] bedroom" > Bedroom 1 where the dog has one side of the king sized bed every night, and DP and I rotate the other.

"The sleeping room" > Bedroom 2 where the person not sharing with the dog sleeps and actually gets a decent night sleep.

"The wet room" > Bedroom 3 which had about 150,000 leaks from various places when we moved in.

"The bit" > A former outhouse attached to the back of our house, now converted into a swanky office but which took months of discussion about what to convert it into.

We used to have a library

The upstairs hallway was really wide, so we lined it with bookcases.

Cinderella’s bedroom.
When we bought this flat, knowing that DC1 would live here first as student digs with friends and then we’d move in, DD asked “which is my bedroom?”. For weeks we told her she’d be sleeping in the store room/airer space which is 3x1.5 meters.
Cruel, I know, but now she has a double bedroom all to herself.

I have nothing to contribute but this thread is amazing

The 'cellar' which is above ground and just where the wine is stored (albeit in cellar-like quantities).
