How can I decorate an outdoor space with something other than plants?

There is an area on the front lawn that only has shade and never gets watered nor rain. This is due to an overhang on the house. It cannot be watered because it is too close to the house and will cause indoor flooding. Nothing can grow in that area. Any suggestions as to what I can add to that area? It is about 2 ft wide and 12 ft. long.

put down a gravel base then on top of gravel add row of lrg,deep flower pots with good deep saucers filled with Hostas or Begonias for lots of color; lots of info. all except what part of the world you live in climate? not zone...city is better
First I would look into the water intrusion issues. Even if you think no water gets in, it probably is and causing undetected damage, that if not addressed, could potentially be a hefty repair bill. Maybe even mold remediation.
You can turn that area into a rock garden with some garden art or a little bench and table. Or border off and spread mulch or granite to have it neat clean and tidy.
Thank you. I didn't know mulch came in colors. I should have explained there isn't a whole. It's flush to the foundation so watering isn't recommended. Good ideas. Think I will try the flower pots
