This reminds me of when I first started working remotely and I didn't have a separate office space - my desk was just wedged into the corner of our dining room. My ex-wife's mother came around to visit with my wife and kids one day about 2pm in the afternoon. They sat in the dining room while she drank a cup of tea with my wife. After about 10 minutes of them sitting there while I was quietly working away in the corner she turned around and said "James! You're being so rude to me!"

Make sure that everyone who enters your home knows that this is your workspace.
