My sewing room doubles as a guest room, so when I need to get it ready for a guest I put my project in a large box, place it in an obvious place in my bedroom and the minute the company leaves I put everything out again. The idea came from a a professional organizer - the original idea was when have that phone call that someone is in the area and coming over for a visit and that was the suggestion. Don't put the box in a closet - but get it out of the company's sight.
A friend of mine had one of those large white cutting mats from Joann's - she kept it under her couch since she used it on her dining room table.
