Your garden is crying out for an arch separating the lawn from the far patio.
Central will look 'right' so you might have to amend your snaking path.
Grow a grape vine up the arch so maybe a shade giving pergola over the patio.If you don't go for raised beds, to form the low barrier between lawn and patio,
consider espaliered fruit trees as the divider.
See if you can find a heritage variety that was local to your area.Clear some of the Ivy from the rear wall and install an eye-catching piece of weather tolerant art, or a couple of pots growing seasonal flowers secured to the wall.

Just to add to mespilus' points:
- May sound obvious, but different heights of plants for depth.
- Warm and light colours at the front / darker and cooler at the back.
- mirror at the back somewhere - maybe two mirrors on adjacent walls in the corner(?)
- when you find a plant you like google image for common / suggested combos
- consider plant full size height and take into account when planting
- don't plant pots immediately, try them out in different spots for a few days to see what works.

So quick question. How do you create depth in a garden and also how do you layer plants so they look natural
