What's the best way to hide a back flow valve in a bathroom?

Thank you. I will come with a better plan in few days. One question: Do you think is a good idea to move the backflow downstream after the two lines are joined? In this way I can have this valve in the furnace room. Previously the valve was sticking out of the floor for 1/2" under the vanity.
