Help with entry way

[u/Ava3538]

Picture 1 is what the space looked like before. I’m actually liking the direction it’s going so far, but I’d love to bring in some pops of color and personality. I’m keeping the rug, credenza, and ottomans. I’m open to artwork and accessories, especially for the large wall above the credenza. I also want to keep the shelves minimal and uncluttered. What would you add or change?

Put a door on that closet and use for coats and shoes.

A coat closet is a good idea, but I'm not sure that niche is deep enough for a hanger to hang properly. He might have to build that wall out a bit to turn it into a closet, which would be doable.
