You could accent the bench with outdoor pillows that have the red from the door in it and introduce other colors through it, especially if you do a black bench. Or you could introduce wood to warm it up and make a diy pallet bench or something. Same with the rug, maybe a patterned rug that has the red from the door in it?
I would add some large, metal elements (something like below) on the sides of the way in to the entry (on yellow brick), painted black. It would draw make the space more expansive, rather than feeling like to you are going into a dark cave.
With dark concrete, and dark furniture I would use color that coordinates or contrasts with the red of your door. You might consider a solar light on the table To make it look welcoming. Plants also make it look welcoming. Do you like something hung on the door?
I would keep it simple to show off that great door and stoop color. Use the table and chairs, but no additional furniture. An area rug in matching colors would be nice, but stop there. Sometimes, too much is too much!
I would find an outdoor carpet incorporating red, black and white or cream colors. I would paint the furniture white to lighten up the area; add a couple of green plants, and voila!!!
how about a bench in the red and black and accent it with some flowers with the same colors
I would use a colorful door mat,potted flowers,and paint color of the furniture so it makes a statement.
Consider painting the interior porch brick a solid color and maybe adding columns on the exterior corners making it a loggia; an architectural feature which is a covered exterior gallery or corridor usually on an upper level, or sometimes ground level. The outer wall is open to the elements, usually supported by a series of columns or arches.
