Firstly, in terms of color selection, the main colors used are earthy tones (such as beige, light brown, etc.), supplemented by varying shades of blue to simulate the peaceful beauty of the ocean or sky, making people feel as if they are in a relaxed and comfortable vacation destination. The design without a main light and the distributed soft light source setting effectively avoid the glare problem that traditional lighting may bring, creating a more comfortable and pleasant lighting environment.In terms of interior decoration, a large number of broad-leaved plants are introduced as embellishments, which not only beautify the space but also purify the air, enhancing customers' perception of the theme of "returning to nature". In addition, handmade products, woven fabrics, and ceramic vessels with ethnic characteristics are widely used in various corners, which not only reflect the craftsmanship of craftsmen, but also convey a strong cultural heritage. It is worth mentioning that all hanging poles are made of natural color materials, which ensures consistency with the overall decoration style and facilitates flexible adjustment of product display methods.
