When our extension was built (by previous owners) they couldn't extend to the boundary line so the side of the extension has a little space. It's ends with a nice big window allowing key light into a dark living room. It's the main view from the living room but is currently empty. Be did have a plant in a nice pot there, with an upright. But it really made the room dark. Any ideas for what we could do to use this space well and improve the view out of the window? The rest of the garden is finished and is a tropical theme if that helps.

Maybe an interesting garden sculpture with lighting for it at night

Good idea. It's just finding something that doesn't block the light into the room in the day time.

A fountain, bird bath or bird feeder.

What is on the wall/fence? Could you maybe put a couple of modern art style pictures out there? Even do it yourself blocks of color to add interest without blocking the light.

All Things Cedar 30" Planter Box & Trellis Privacy Screen · More Info

Skinny rectangular pot with a flowering vine to grow on the wire lattice. Honeysuckle, jasmine, clematis, etc. Hang something big, round and metal in the middle of the lattice. Of course, don't use the area for storage any more.

Or if you need the storage, put two nice outdoor screens with the vines at each end of the walkway so that the view from inside and from the other end of the walkway are improved. See above -- put wheels on to make convenient to get to items stored behind. Like this or make your own with metal screen from big box stove.
