        "text": "When planning an open-concept living space, consider structural implications first, as removing load-bearing walls requires professional assessment and potentially new support beams. Think about how zones will be defined within the open area, using furniture arrangement, rugs, or subtle architectural elements. Acoustic considerations are also important, as sound can travel easily. Ensure adequate lighting for all areas and plan for sufficient storage. Finally, integrate a cohesive design aesthetic that flows seamlessly across the combined spaces.",
