Can you post a photo?
Try Shutters on each side of the window to enhance its presence; a welcoming seating area (love seat or chairs in front of the brick); and/or to anchor the house to the yard a topiary or large plant near the post plus smaller plants in front the full width of the house and extending in a curve toward the driveway. Whatever pleases you!
Not to sound rude but is there a budget you need to work with?
Have you considered painting the brick? The sprinkle brick color is very dated. If it were mine, I would paint the brick a darker green, the trims and upper a light green. (or vice versa). Put a nice tree in middle of yard and a garden along entire front wall with varied height plantings.
I think that works well. Orange and green are complimentary colors. Orange = yellow +red, Green=yellow+blue. Yellow door or accents would be excellent.
If you're talking landscaping you need to purposely draw your eye to the area. Create an enlarged oval or circular area specifically for rock landscaping or sod, one large boulder placed offset of center, a bird bath, 5-7 planted ornamental grasses facing the street side. Placing an arbor with seating opposite the boulder will also create a focal point. Visit your local garden centers for suggestions. Best of luck.
