        "text": "To make an open-concept space feel cohesive without seeming cluttered, use a consistent flooring material across all connected zones. Define distinct functional areas—such as conversation zones, dining areas, and food prep stations—using area rugs, strategic furniture placement, and zoned lighting. Installing separate lighting layers, such as pendant lights over an island, a chandelier over the dining table, and recessed ceiling lighting throughout, allows you to adjust the ambiance for each activity while preserving the unified feel of the space.",
