If you are working with the off-whites where do you start? I start with knowing which side of the color wheel we are working with first. Are we working primarily with the warm or cool hues on the color wheel? What are being used as the accent colors in the space? What are the wood or metal finishes? Flooring? We always have to take into consideration what the existing space is and/or the new choices we will be using as our new interior design concept. Why start there you say? Because it is like a detective doing "DNA Investigative Research". We are determining the hues from the color wheel where each element such as the permanent selections and the new decor color is derived from.

Designer Tip:
The most important thing to remember is that the off-whites have a starting point derived from the color wheel. This is why color selections have to be done carefully considering all the other elements necessary to achieve the end result you desire.
