Beginner Gardening: Help getting my front yard finished..., 0 by SeePax

I bought my house last year and I have been slowly working on it inside-out... I cleared out the front garden area and am having issues deciding what to add where. As you can see I started under the front bay window with 3 common boxwood shrubs with two munstead lavender plants... next to them is a scotch broom plant and two old gold junipers. At the end is a fairly young lilac shrub. The area is east facing with afternoon shade. I am stumped on what I should fill in the rest with and if any currently planted specimens could be placed differently. I am very novice when it comes to landscape designs and I would prefer not to have to pay someone to do a professional job right now.

My house is between three houses with immaculate and most likely professional landscaping so for now I prefer not to be an eyesore in the mix :)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am on Long Island Zone 7.

Thanks!
