Have you considered bonsai trees?
You could put in a corner bench and table set. The ones with the table in the middle with two chairs attached at the sides (they usually come painted or varnished)
Maybe some rectangular pots along the sides of the one wall where put in a wall climbing plants on a frame (gardenias is it?? - not sure on which plants are which to be honest).
If there is enough room in one of the corners you could even install a rockery...you can get one built up buy someone or even have a go yourself using a kind of plastic framework that they sell in the garden centres which sometimes have water features.
Or, little bird bath somewhere or a pretty bird house or something hanging off one of the walls/fences.
A few hanging baskets with the plants that have flowers which droop down over the edges.
Hope thats a few ideas for you.
Tiered decking and cask, potted, and hanging plants , with a drip irrigation system.
A bench against the wall

small table and chairs for eating etc
a barbecue
plant pots around the edge- full of blooms herbs maybe- get these form homebase, B & Q, or garden centre
lots of potted plants? rockery, different levels? small herb garden? using old sink?
