I would paint the wall too! Nice ad bright!!

When you render the bricks I would consider leaving some of them exposed here and there - that reminds me of old Tuscan buildings! I would include some large terracotta pots with olive trees or lemon trees, also as others have suggested some brightly coloured geraniums in hanging baskets against the wall or in terra cotta pots. Here are a couple of shots of my back deck (which isn't looking its absolute best) but to give you an idea of the large pots and colour. You have a beautiful spot to work with good luck! Sue

I'm not a fan of Monument and Surfmist as a colour scheme, I find it too stark. That said, colour is a personal choice and it is your home so find something that you love and that gives you that 'wow, that's our home' moment every time you pull into your driveway. There is a free app called paint tester which you can upload a pic of your home into and 'paint' different sections different colours which you might find helpful.

Funnily enough I was talking with a neighbour and he has offered to help - I DO have a pendant light and a huge wall hanging - I’ll see if I have photos - gonna try and put them up in the least offensive way holes wise!! But really it was just that corner I wanted to style - maybe a pot plant? Sorry not the Xmas tree the wall hanging behind it!!! Haha
