Paint it a light colour with suitable outdoor stone paint [there used to be one called Sandtex]. Put trellis panels up and large pots in front with climbers like honeysuckles, clematis, roses, or akebia quinata which I haven't grown but is said to be quite hardy, and has dark burgundy flowers which smell off chocolate. You could coordinate your wall, trellis and flower colours!

 

The 'in thing' according to the television makeovers is to paint it pale blue. But I think that draws your attention to it. If it was mine I would paint it green. That way it just disappears into the background.

I wouldn't use a trellis (something more to buy, to paint, and to rot) but would sink fixings into the wall and and attach reasonably heavy duty wire. You could then grow climbers up this or even espalier (ie trained) fruit trees.
