I have built them on reinforced ironing boars...bolted to hardwood planks and C clamped to table tops or countertops....built them in closets (insert jokes here please)
under staircases and when i only had a large benchvise in the shop/basement to use i would bolt the equipment to blocks of 4X4 or 6X6 hardwood and change them as needed...some of the guys have come up with pretty inventive ways to get around the space issue...A dedicated room is great to have but not need to have.

Some great ideas here, but be warned it's gonna grow. I started out on a microwave stand I could roll around because I'm in a small bachelor suite. Think 400 square feet. Well now my reloading has taken over the bedroom, I sleep in the living room, have a 6 foot bench and 4 6 foot by 3 foot shelving units plus some wall shelving to put everything on, not to mention the gun cabinets.
This has been my reload bench for the last month. I have a Lee Challenger on a piece of plywood that I clamp to the left side of my desk. I use it only for Loading and not resizing as I only have spring clamps at the moment, but a stronger clamp would allow me to resize as well.
that's just not using your space efficently- if i can fit 5 presses onto a microwave stand-the supplies and accesories are either in the cabinets below or tacked to the wall and still have room for a bed , desk, computer and tv in a10x12 room, etc- and i sleep in there too- the guns are in cabinets INSIDE the closets, (clothes don't need room to "breathe") and i have no fears about going to meet my maker sooner just because i sleep in the "powder " room
You obviously don't have enough guns, ammo, components and tools yet.
i keep enough stuff to do about 1k rounds for each caliber, my powder is in 8 lb kegs,and about 5-6 bricks of 22
i've got 1 338, about 6 308s, couple of 22 pistols, 4 22 rifles, 2 9mms, 2 45 acps, a 45colt/45 acp convertible, a 44 mag ,( both pistol and rifle) a 12 guage,- anything else i feel is unnecessary- and susie the safe queen
