You have a nice layout already and some fun artsy peices here and there, I just picture some shots of color and larger leafed plants to go with the greyish and pink tones you already have, like the image above. The pop of the lime greeens and soft yellows should make them pop and somthing like the tall yellowish phorium above toward the back of the fence line will draw your eye out toward it. Repaeting that color throughout the beds is nice too.
Masses of color or texture works better too rather than a mix of smaller bloomed things mixed around the yard (like my tapesty mess, don't copy that because it's not that soothing! LOL) These Rozanne geraniums spill over nicely (SF Botanical garden)
