My Writing Space- Where?

My writing space usually ends up being a multitude of places around the house. The kitchen table, my chair, my desk, and in my bed being a few. I don't often find myself writing at the table or my chair because anywhere beyond my bedroom is a high traffic area. I live with a great many people and concentration on writing is close to impossible at times. Not only are there a great many distractions but if I'm in there or not I tend to be continually interrupted. If I am writing or not, it won't matter. I'm considered to be "not doing anything important" or "only writing". I'm sure you understand that pang of frustration.
In my bedroom is the safest place, nobody will mess with my things. Won't rip my papers or run off with items. Yet, that's not entirely true either. We rent and don't have proper key locking doorknobs on our bedrooms therefore people could bust in when they want. Not ideal. I've caught people in my room when I'm not often. Live for the chance to be alone. Much prefer solitude despite loving my family immensely.
Bedroom isn't often a good place to write because I'm not that less likely to be called upon during writing sessions either. Usually for tasks that I've already completed earlier or for tasks that people could accomplish themselves.
Try not to get too upset about it. Annoying but I have to try to think positively. A victim of circumstance.
Back to describing these spaces.
In my room my bed is comfortable somewhat but I would prefer to avoid it because I get distracted by the comfort. I sometimes end up taking a nap. As for the desk, it's a nice place to write except my back hurts. The comfort level is zero and no matter how often I organize, the spaces get cluttered again easily. Really doesn't help that I don't have a proper sized bedroom. It's a bit small for an adult.
What is your writing space like?
Where do you write most?
Do you struggle to find a location?
I'm curious to know.
