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.)

My bathroom and loo are separate so I call the loo "the throne room" because it contains the porcelain throne.

The spider toilet.. For that's where they dwell....

Our porch is called the Airlock

The box room at my parents is the Yellow Room although it's not been painted yellow in years. My old bedroom was painted blue so was the Blue Room and it's now a study but it's often called the blue room. Is Lobby weird? The room by the front door was always the lobby but I've not heard it used in houses, it's more a hotel term I think...

Please explain! This sounds like something it could be important for me to know! 😄

We've got the monkey cupboard, it's the cupboard of doom in the kitchen which has a glass door ( a mistake in retrospect but we had a door left over when we extended ) so I bought some fabric with monkeys on it and hung it up.

My dh still looks confused when I call it the monkey cupboard though...so I'm not sure it's stuck.

The study, where no one has ever studied. It's mostly clean laundry waiting for something to happen to it.

A utility that is never called a utility - it's the cat's room.

The dog landing where the dog hangs out - it's got a good view for woofing.

The napping sofa - it reclines and has a view of the garden.

We’ve the Dog Drying Room, where muddy hounds are banished!

Little Italy, for our attic bedroom. Years and years. no reason for it though, certainly doesn't look like Italy. I think its because the kids in Angela's Ashes call their home that to make it sound magical.

Soon after we moved in we converted half of the double garage into a room. It was originally known as "the new room".

When we put a piano in it, it became "the music room". It's now usually known as "the cat room" because the piano has moved out and the cat is confined to it (and the kitchen and utility room) overnight. However we sometimes refer to it as "the old music room" or even "the old new room". It can't still be "the new room" because we now have a newer "new room")!

I have two.

The only room in the country where the fridge is warmer - the attached "something" room that's full of crap. It's the IGLOO.

The mostly unused room off the sitting room that should be used for something - called the MUSEUM.

My in-laws have a utility room that everyone calls 'Barbara' - as in 'Shall I go get the spare chairs out of Barbara?' 😂

When we first moved into our house the smallest bedroom was called 'the cat's room' and the front room upstairs had been carved out weirdly to add a second kitchen and was a really weird shape so it was known as 'the stupid room'. It's now our bedroom and en-suite and is no longer stupid.

😂Every home should have one.

When I was a child I lived in a rambling old place that had been a coaching inn. There was a huge room at the back known as the barn room - it had been a cock-fighting barn in the distant past.

We have a Futility because it's not quite useful enough to be a Utility.

Haha we have a tumble dryer cupboard too! Predictably it’s where the tumble dryer is kept so not particularly weird 😆.

We have "the boiling room". It's really the room with the boiler in, so it's Sunday name is the boiler room, but we've called it the boiling room for yonks. It's purpose is laundry room and pantry.

We have 'The Buddha Room' because we don't really know how else to refer to it and it's where we keep a buddha statue 😂

When I was 8 we had an extension done. The lean to at the back was extended and turned into a utility room and a bedroom was built over it and the garage.

As a lot of items such as cement mixer etc ended up in there, it became known as the pigsty. And stayed being called that over 25 years later when my mum and dad moved 😃

We had. Secret Hideout in my childhood house. A sort of large cupboard on the stairs.

We have a downstairs toilet that is in the oldest part of our house that we call the spooky toilet.

The spare room is the Land of Spare-Oom.

The back garden is called the front garden and the front garden is called the back garden, because of where the doors used to be before we renovated.

Theres a bit behind the bin shed called Shit Corner because we chuck all kinds of shit it in.

I have an outhouse at the back called The Baronial Hall, so called for its high roof, which is seriously falling down and will cost an arm and a leg (which I don't have) to mend, so it's also somewhat ironic.
To be clear, there is no grand fireplace with a pair of Wolfhounds snoozing in front of it in there. Just a liability of a building.

The cupboard under the stairs is the oubliette, because it’s where things go to be forgotten.

We have two sheds. Last year, DH cleared the covered area along the side of the back shed to make a little potting shed/storage place for plant pots and allotment bits and pieces. It very quickly went from being called 'the side of the back shed' to 'the backside', leading to exchanges along the lines of 'Where did you put the trowel?' 'Up my backside'; 'Can I leave these tulip bulbs up your backside until the spring?' etc.

There's a shit hole of a lean to porch round the back door, grandly named the utility room. It is used for that purpose though
