What room is this one?

TIA
Vinay
English translation:walk-in cupboard / closet /wardrobe
Explanation:
cupboard for UK / closet for US

I understand it as a cupboard that is also a room, hence a walk-in cupboard. Could also be a store room.

Wardrobe would be specifically if it were off a bedroom and used for the storage of clothes.
