Morphology
The meaning 'a room used for storing items' is directly and transparently composed from 'storage' (a place/system for holding items) and 'room' (an indoor area), so the combined sense is immediately derivable. This noun-noun compound follows a common and cross-linguistically familiar pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
The name storage room comes from the simple idea of a storage space inside a room where people keep extra things. Picture a small spare room full of boxes and old furniture; that's why it means 'a room used for storing items, especially those not in regular use'.
