Help Selecting Plants

Hello; I know very little about plants and gardening and I was looking for help selecting plants for my backyard.

I am located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and my house faces West. In the morning there is sunlight in the backyard and then in the afternoon the sunlight is in the front yard.

I attached a rough drawing of my backyard. I want to plant in the area in front of the deck and in the corner of the yard, as shown by the coloured area. The deck is about 2 feet high.

I am looking for plants that are low maintenance and take up a lot of space. Bright colours (i.e. blue, violet, yellow, orange) would be nice, if possible. For the corner of the yard I was thinking a tree (but nothing that expands too much that it goes into the neighbor's yard) or bushes or something like that. Sorry if I am being vague but I don't know much about gardening.

Any help would be appreciated.
