In principle, all of my individual solutions looked good on paper and "worked" even after implementation; however, the inconveniences associated with some of the options should have been considered in the design phase. For one simple example, I chose a sleeper sofa and matching coffee table that was easily movable at night; it also worked nicely as a desk area during the day time in a small studio apartment. Initially, the solution worked perfectly, with the coffee table fitting in a closet, standing up on its end. During the design phase, I never anticipated that the dual use of the coffee table as a desk area would eventually conflict with the necessity of moving it and standing it on its end to use unfold the pull-out bed from the sofa..

That would have eliminated the inconvenience of clearing off the "desk" to use the bed; likewise, it would have provided a more comfortable long-term work area. Admittedly, that would have detracted from the aesthetic quality of the living room configuration, but this was a perfect example of the need to better balance actual functional requirements with aesthetics and to identify solutions to minimize rather than to eliminate the aesthetic problem if doing so was not cost effective from a usefulness perspective.......
