What can I do with this blank space next to the doorwall (pic)?

Right side? Left side? On the siding? Can you explain what you want to do a little better?

FInd a big outdoor walling hanging. Hobby Lobby has some nice metal ones! Often on sale or on clearance!

3 matching hanging baskets with another matching one sitting on the far right corner railing.

Hi Liz,

You could take attention away from it by hanging over-the-railing planters along the railing and filling them with colorful flowers. I hope that inspires you to figure out what will work. Wishing you the best.

You can create huge outdoor art using a wood frame sealed against the elements and covered with a shower curtain. Or, do the same thing and make a gallery wall. Add hanging plants for depth.

That area would make a great spot for a lovely little flower garden. I'm assuming you'd probably want something very low maintenance. Create a little path leading to the access, add in a bench and some landscape lights, and you've got a lovely outdoor space, place it would add some curb appeal from the lake side. There are lots of articles on my website to help get you going, when you have a few minutes start with this one. https://ginghamgardens.com/low-maintenance-flower-garden/

I think you just need some plants and flowers in front of the treillis.

I would go to Hobby Lobby or Kirklands and get a nice big outdoor sign or metal picture for the wall. Or you can put shelves in front of the wall for plants etc.

I would also paint the trellis on the bottom white and if you do not need access would put hooks and hang some plants.

I think your area just needs some color everything is bland. Color will make it more apealing.

Wooden long planter on the porch with a trellis for Morning Glories, a wooden American flag, a giant rustic star, a grouping of garden tools, hoe, shovel pitchfork, a a long plaque you screw into the wall with a cute stenciled saying and hanging baskets from underneath with hooks.
