In Japanese or Nordic style design, the lighting should choose warm lighting with a color temperature of around 3000K, which will give people a warm and comfortable feeling, but should not be too yellow. As for the lights, try to keep them simple and fresh, without any fancy designs. The design without main lights is a good choice, which can maximize the sense of openness of the space.
