Thanks everyone for all the tips Oh and deck had to go poor materials and badly constructed. I think we are going to power clean and look at it for a bit longer. Part of me wants to do something a bit more colourful but we will see... Secret design studio had an interesting example of colourful paving

To me the path doesn’t look like the exposed aggregate that is installed in most current homes. It looks like small rocks have been place on the path, then rolled into ground to form a flatter service. I would remove and replace with the honed exposed aggregate, as currently installed by many home owners. It is concrete that is laid with the different colours in the concrete mix, then honed for a smooth service, which is kinder on the feet. Or if budget doesn’t allow, then brick pavers will look good as well.

Again , I'm different haha . I like the brick , but it is a bit much , so have something to distract and hide the wall a bit . A large colourful work of abstract art would be my go-to , or possibly a TV or two . It doesn't look like that room is orientated towards that wall , so presumably theres a TV elsewhere in the room , but why not add a couple of secondhand TVs , maybe a 42inch and a 32 , or even 3 -- 42 , 24 and 19 inch . Have 1 on the same channel as the ( presumably main ) other TV I'm assuming is already there , the other 1 or 2 on different channels . Seperate heights too , and obviously different sizes , so its sort of an art installation with moving pictures -- a couple of 2nd hand TV's probably well under $500 , even with wall brackets ; art whatever you spend ( $200 , $1000 , $135 million haha ) .

Go for it. You could always paint it black if you don’t like it. Have some fun
