cutting down all the landscaping/bushes in the front and back of our house today question

DH doesnt want the front to be completely bare, but we also don't want to spend an arm and leg on getting a landscaper to come and plant for us, I'm pretty good at planting and have no issues doing it, but he doesn't want just flowers he wants things that will look ok year round bushes etc..what do you suggest getting???? Also should we put mulch down????

I have these bush things with green and yellow leaves (they come green and white too think). I can't remember the name, but if someone says it I will! They are there all year and look nice!
