You gotta start by making sure the whole area inside and projecting into the garden is on the same level.
It will create the imporession of a much larger area instantly.
I think a wooden deck, possibly with a hard wood as opposed to soft wood would do the trick, remembe rit will bleach to a light grey quickly.
Far better acousticall as well between the two walls.
Do almost whatever you want to the roof/ ceiling, but keeping it as is an merely painting it white will help.
The walls ar ethe real issue...adding smooth render and painting it white would create quite a stark, minimalist feeling and throw light around the area well, including into the family room.
If you want to add colour then why not consider using good garden furniture with highly coloured cushions etc. These could be changed according to the season.
Simialarly if your deck is large enough you could have differnt types of plant in mobile planters and cycle thor them according to season.
If you add 'stuff' like bars and bar b-qs make sure they are sufficient well built in to feel they are really part of the overall design as opposed to 'add ons'. Nothin looks worse than a whole load of ideas thrown together masquerading a interior design.
Go for a signle clear idea and everyhting else hangs off of that.
