A lighter picture since I couldn't delete the other one

depending on your style...there are many contemporary chunky shelves too.

Looks like you have room for a thin table on the wall on the right, looking at the photo, right. If not a table a chunky shelf with a couple small drawers would work. I'd like a seat where the coral ottoman is but thinner and in a pop color which you could also do the on front door.

I would try a small foyer table, add a buffet style lamp if you have an outlet in this area. Also a smaller rug at the door or even a runner would look nice.

I agree that you don't need a table there, actually the space is too tight. I'd replace the earth tone oval with a bright pattern runner.

Where the bench is, you could put a tall piece of artwork. It could really make a statement. A few, unique shelves (like mentioned above) would look great as well and could be an opportunity for dressing up with fun photos, sculptures, plants, etc.

A brighter rug, a couple of hooks for keys and replace the dark mat at the stairs with something a little lighter.

Thank you all for your compliments.
Will take your advice and put to work.

Here are a few examples, of our design projects, of entryways. Consider using a brighter rug, some artwork or wall decorations, and if you want a bench try a thinner one.

The rug looks too large and too thick. You have so much going on with all the doors you don't need anything else in your entry.

Does anyone ever sit on the small bench? Is it useful or just for looks?
