Are you talking about making the concrete look better (using a special wash or something)? Or do you want to add some plants or accessories to make it look better?

Plant wise, you might want to think of putting some ornamental grasses at random places along the side (so they overhang the path a bit). There are some beautiful colors. Or something like a moss or, my favorite, Mondo Grass

Another idea is lighting. Some nice low-voltage lighting might be nice.

I don't like symmetry, so I would put the plants/lights at irregular intervals along the straight path.

Adding to the prior answer, you may try an acid wash stain on the concrete to change the color. It can give the concrete a more natural looking patina and compliment your home's exterior.
