What about some large wrought iron pieces added to the wall? You could put large pots below with some climbing plants, or just leave them plain for decor. You could even paint them a color from the rug for a little more color in that space. Just be sure they are not too small. I'd do three identical ones probably.

Will you be adding any seating there? A bench maybe? Or will it be just a wall. You can think about decorating with paint...a fun color... a mural... a few stripes...

But the plants that are there, esp on the bottom are too small in scale. If you want those plants, add to a bigger pot and add some tall stuff.

To extend olychick's idea, you could add plants to an iron gate.

The potted plants on the ground are too short for this spot, and seem to get lost.

I like the bench idea. A bench with a colorful cushion, flanked by two tall, colorful planters, with some palms would be great.

Decorating outside is no different from decorating inside. The same principles apply. The first is don't line up all your objects, in this case pots, like soldiers standing at attention. You need movement and balance in your arrangement, and you don't want it to be boring.

Second rule is stay away from the mass-produced crap. If there are 100 of them on the shelf at Hobby Lobby, leave them right there. Instead look at larger plants, colorful interesting pots...and if a bench would be useful there, look for an interesting one.

If you haven't already saved some outdoor photos you like, I suggest you peruse the ones on Houzz for some inspiration.

Look, just by adjusting your hanging baskets a bit, I've created more interest.

I really like the bench idea. I'm going to look into that and a larger pot/plant. Thanks everyone for the ideas!

A bench would be great. Then, add outdoor throw pillows (only when not raining directly on them) to punch up color. Local artists may also produce metalworks from repurposed things. There's someone around my area who makes a sun design, choose your color, from the bottom of propane tanks.

I'm really loving this bench and two of these pots with pretty palms in them.

There you go, G Drusc. That Lutyens bench is a classic and a couple of bright blue pots will really spice it up. I'd get two different sized pots to avoid symmetry. Aim for balance, not symmetry. It's more interesting.

The ponytail palm we have does quite well in a container.

katinparadise the tree to the right is actually a lemon tree! I like the ponytail palm. I have lots of palms and all sorts of fruit trees and flowers in pots around my pool area/yard so I may just rearrange some of them. Or I will get two new palm trees. I can never have enough plants :)

These are some of the other pots I bought recently for around the pool area.

And this one for the succulents I have on the table.

I added this wall fountain to my back yard in 2015

Groveraxle I like the idea of adjusting the baskets but I’m having a hard time finding chains of various lengths. Do you know where I could find replacements? Or is that something I would need to make?

You can buy chain by the foot at Lowe's--or at least you can here. Some hardware stores sell chain by the foot also.

I'm not grover, but you can just get a couple different lengths of chains at a hardware store and hook one end on the hook on your house, the other to the existing hook on your plants. I'd get black if that's what the existing chain is.

Or maybe better, look in a plant nursery or HD garden section for hooks of different lengths that will be easy to use. I got some of mine at my bird feeder supply store.

groveraxleI purchased two pony tail palms and two of these planters (still waiting for them to arrive). I like this metal wall decor from Ballard Designs, but I wanted to get an opinion before I purchase. I also like the idea of a vertical or living wall, but I am unsure where I would begin.

I also changed my mind on the bench I posted. I feel like it looks a little too "Asian" and doesn't match the rest of my tropical yard.

The pots are pretty. If you want to put something on the wall, 3 is better than two. Odd numbers are more aesthetically pleasing than even. (I have 3 suns and two painted geckos on my wall.

G Drusc, my advice on those mass-produced scroll-y wall decorations from Ballard Designs will always be no, just no, terribly unimaginative, not even pleasant to look at, don't do it.

Have you abandoned the hanging baskets, or just waiting to find the chain?

groveraxle I AM terribly unimaginative lol

No I haven't abandoned the baskets I just haven't had the time to get to them yet. I am also having a hard time finding a bench I like that fits in that space. That area also gets a lot of run off rain which could be an issue. But I will keep looking...

What do you think of this one? Too much color?

Not sure what style you'd prefer in a bench but Wayfair has a gazillion in all different styles. These are all reasonably priced and might work:

Eta: this one may be too, too, but its back would look nice against your wall:

Olychick what color would you suggest? I really have no clue what would work well.

I am more into benches like the first one you posted. I'm not typically into the wrought iron benches...

Any sunny color would look great. That green, blue, red, yellow, even orange if you like it! Look at the green set against red flowers:

Olychick The rest of my backyard is filled with navy, teal and some white so I wasn't sure.

My yard is still a major work in progress but here are some of the items I have.

I have several of these in various sizes.

I really like that green bench but I don't feel like it would go well with what I already have going on.

when I plan a garden I consider fragrance and sound as well as color. I think you would enjoy the sound of a fountain and the scent of stephanotis or jasmine as well as citrus blossoms. Aside from the colors of the citrus fruits, orchids, ginger, bromeliads, and birds of paradise will add color and texture to your garden. A low maintenance option is a vertical garden of succulents and air plaints including orchids. Consider ambient lighting to add to your nighttime enjoyment.

Plants and seating always work because they have utility. Perhaps a wicker settee or some Acapulco chairs would feel more tropical to you? Talavera wall planters would look great. Consider something to add some height: a yucca or dracaena.

The turquoise color of the chairs groveraxle posted would be great with all your other elements (as would those fabulous chairs)!
