Painting the back black is the best background IMO.Any driftwood would look nice in your tank,find a piece you like and fits and your good to go.Putting Java ferns on it(driftwood) looks nice too.

The sword and the crypt in the middle should not be there IMO. These plants grow more than one feet tall and you would loose an open space in front of the tank for the fish to swim. You could place a nice piece of driftwood where these two plants are. A black or dark blue background would really make a difference in your tank. Any doubts feel free to bother me.:)

I agree with the other, it is a very nice tank and that a black background would look really nice.

I agree^
Also, pinch the tops off all your stem plants and they'll eventually sprout offshoots making them more bushy. Thereafter, trim them from the bottom as needed or continue topping them off to create more eventual plant mass.

Your tank is very pretty, but I would move the wisteria away from the filter intake. As the plant grows and spreads it might clog your filter intake, and that will present lots of problems. Some more anubias would be nice too. Nice job!
