Keeping heavy,bulky objects low is good for your centre of gravity and your sense of space. When eliminating things or setting up items that need conversion keep the most used function in mind. I use a table a lot so wouldn't get rid of it but some people can make do with a small flat surface that folds out of the way. Another good thing is to containerize as much as you can to keep the actual number of objects you need to handle low and increase your flexibity.
