Hi Gina,
I think you should continue the Blue Holly on the other side for balance.
I think the Hydrangea would do better in a shadier spot. And, as mentioned, they are too large for a second layer. You don't want the plants in front of the evergreen shrubs to get as tall, or even almost as tall, as the background plants.
Perennials add lots of color and textures, and they are not that expensive.

question by: gina
I really like the suggestions. thanks! how close would i plant the tree to the house? Also, the area under the porch on the right, do you think i could move the hydrengea there? or do you think i should put some boxwoods or some evergreen behind it against the wall and perennials in front?
