    I think your best bet is playing around with the landscaping and switching up the colors/materials used outside. It looks like you're in a tropical area (I spy 🌴) — what if you leaned into more of a Japandi exterior style? That's all about muted colors, lots of greenery (you have a great yard for it!), eco-friendly materials, etc. I would whitewash the brick outside to brighten the entrance and make it more neutral. I'm certainly no landscaping expert, but could you look into shady trees or mossy plants for the front yard? Maybe replace the mulch with stone? I would go to a garden center near you and show them your inspiration to see what's possible in your climate. These photos below are inspiring. You'll notice the common threads of wood slats, clean lines, muted colors, and plants:
