First, decide where to put your altar.
It may be recommended that it is not in your bedroom. But maybe in your living, dining room or kitchen. Ancestors may not want to see what you do in your private time.
Next, choose a surface of a table, buffet, shelf, counter, etc. that will be used solely for the purpose of honoring your ancestors.
This means nothing else will be set on top of it.
No phones, remotes, computers, TVs, appliances, etc.
A wall shelf, empty book shelf, or small accent table is great.
