Architectural Designs

(10 points best answer!) Interior design help?

Okay, please forgive me if this is a bit long. Just....bear with me. :) (By the way, this is not for my house. It's for a project I'm working on.) First off, the kitchen. What I had in mind was stainless steel appliances; built-in stoves (is that what they're called? You'll have to help me with names for things here), double range, double door fridge (one side fridge, one side freezer). In the middle is a island with four bar stools; two on each side. All the counter tops are black granite and the cupboards have black wood borders but are glass. For color, I was thinking a vibrant red for a nice contrast with the black wood/counter tops. Second, the dinning room. Okay...here's where I'm drawing a blank. The kitchen is a little bit closed off from the dinning room. For the table I'm thinking avant cherry wood. But as far as paint goes, I'm stuck. What color would look good in there? Third, the entrance way. Basically when you come through the front door, it's very open. The living room is to the left (they're basically attached) and the dining room is to the right. There are other rooms that are closed off with doors directly in front, but further back towards the back of the house. Should it just be the same color as the living room? If not, what color should it be? Fourth, the living room. I was previously thinking red, but the kitchen is already red. The couches are brown leather and there are two antique brown leather chairs. (Link: http://www.miniaturesandmore.com/shop/media/LeatherSteffey.jpg) There is a fireplace with an undecided color of bricks. What color should the living room be? And what decor could I put up? Rawr. That's all I have for right now. Also, there can't be any navy blues, red wine mahogany, or stupid vibrant colors (like lime green). This house is supposed to look classy and luxious, but modern and homey. Thanks a million! Any suggestions, advice, or corrections are greatly appreciated! Sorry the link for the chair doesn't work :S

2. For the entrance way, choose a neutral color that looks good with- and binds together the color of the living room and the dining room. If you want the dining room to look part of, but not identical to the red and black kitchen, go with a neutral color like beige or greige, and use red on accents like vases and in pictures on the wall. A neutral room looks great with dark wood furniture. Since your living room interior is brown, go with a lighter color wall, like some shade of cream. Choose a third color that will go with the cream and browns in this room, a vibrant color that you like. Tips: For a classy look, keep the walls light with creams, tans, beige and greige. You can then make each room distinct by having a different accent color, like coral red, teal, olive green or a fresh mimosa yellow.
