A cabinet is a private room in the houses and palaces of early modern Europe, a room serving as a study or retreat, usually for a man. The cabinet would be furnished with books and works of art, and sited adjacent to his bedchamber. In the Late Medieval period, such newly perceived requirements for privacy had been served by the solar of the English gentry house. The male equivalent of the boudoir for the female. Phrases such as "cabinet counsel", meaning advice given in private to the monarch, occur from the late 16th century. Since the reign of King George I, the Cabinet – derived from the room – has been the principal executive group of British government, and the term has been adopted in most English-speaking countries.

It depends on the particular room. You may be able to store more stuff in it unless it is full.
