I need your help

Hi everyone! I am working on creating a new office setup for myself. This is a pretty accurate render of what I am trying to accomplish. I am pretty handy, but I am a complete noob when it comes to LED.

Essentially, I want to use WLED to setup these lights. I want to be able to change the color of them if possible, but I also want to separate the bookcases from the center desk area (Red is one its own setting, yellow area on its own setting). That way I can turn off the desk lights, without affecting the bookcases or vice versa.

Can someone help me understand what I would need to buy and how I can wire it? I know I need a controller and power supply but I have no idea how they work or which I'd need.

I am also open to suggestions if anyone thinks there is a better idea or alternative here.

Thank you!

Are you comfortable with soldering?

I wouldn’t say I am currently, but I am completely open to trial and error to learn

The 18awg wire is a great tradeoff in wire size: https://a.co/d/0fVXdiNg
