question for home potters

For those of you who have a home studio, how do you maintain the mess? I have a walk in closet that I'm trying to convert into a small studio but my biggest concern is the clay and the mess that generates from everything.

I've seen people talk about using a bucket system which I'm planning to do, does anyone else use this system? Is there a method you use that works well?

And then in terms of clean up, how do you ensure clay doesn't get all over the place? I have a tarp that I'll be putting down on the floor

I mainly handbuild but I do have a small Amazon wheel that I intend to use.
