Could we have a few more pictures? facing the other direction and into little hall, etc.. what does your light look like? Is it the picture or could this space use more light?

I think the bench, while nice, is a bit large in scale for the space.

Will people be sitting here and taking off shoes? If so remove the pillows and offer a place to put shoes nearby. An entry way without a table is just a passing through space to where you can set your things down. A table with a bench or stools might be more functional for you depending on the type of set up you have.

It is always nice to have a last minute check mirror over the table and a place to put keys, bags, etc...

First thing, if you want to keep the bench remove the pillows. Also is it important to keep it where it is? Also getting a bench that is more practical would be better. One that can house shoes under it would really be ideal. Second we think having a nice entry console table on the wall right when you enter would be great, but it would be on the opposite wall-the wall on the left. Then adding a nice entry rug would be great as well. You could hang a mirror over the console and art over the bench and the hallway should look a lot better. Below we have a few images of our designs that might aid you with your dilemma:
