'Lagerraum' (storage room) is a compound word made from 'Lager' (storage, from 'lagern', meaning to store something) and 'Raum' (room). So the meaning is very logical: a room for storing things.
Wir brauchen einen größeren Lagerraum für die Gartenmöbel.
We need a larger storage room for the garden furniture.
Common verbs used with 'Lagerraum' (storage room) are 'mieten' (to rent), 'haben' (to have), or 'aufräumen' (to tidy up). You can 'lagern' (store), 'aufbewahren' (keep), or 'unterstellen' (put/store) things there.
Für unser Umzugsgut haben wir einen Lagerraum gemietet.
We rented a storage room for our moving goods.
Pay attention to the preposition 'in' with the correct case. 'Im Lagerraum' (in the storage room, dative) describes a location, while 'in den Lagerraum' (into the storage room, accusative) describes movement.

Both words relate to storing goods or other objects. Lager can mean either the entire storage facility or the stock kept there; Lagerraum explicitly refers to the physical room or designated area. Use Lager more generally and Lagerraum when the room itself is the focus.
