If anyone has any great ideas

Idk if these are great but...
1. Pressure wash and thoroughly clean what's there so; a) you know what it was meant to look like, and b) when the contrast goes down it all looks new.
2. Picking a total of 3 types like you've done seems best for making look like a contrast and not ramshackle. Maybe use a black tile to create an outline around each one.
3. If you can use the contrasts to draw your eye or direct you to part of the garden I think it would look more purposeful.
4. My gut says you want the same size pavers, even if you change the colour, orientation or layout. Otherwise it might look like an add-on.
5. Re-grout/point the whole lot with the same grout to make sure it looks cohesive.

Thanks, definitely good advice! Pressure washing will definitely be happening over the next week or so. I was thinking of using a separator paver to make the different areas more distinct. I think then we'll have the garden table and bbq area on the lighter coloured bit and the darker coloured area in front of the house would have planters etc on it. A path will probably extend from the top left corner to a new gate in the fence to allow bikes to brought in straight to the shed.
