I would definitely widen the border to the width of the gate.
If you like modern styles look at architectural plants like phormiums and grasses like miscanthus and stipa tenuissima. There's a gorgeous striped miscanthus called gold bar.
You could have hostas in the shadier parts and alliums and lavender go well with a modern theme.
You could also look at plants you can clip into columns or balls like yews and euonymus. You could also have bamboo if you plant it in a buried trough so it can't spread through your garden.
If you want some climbers my favourite at the moment is clematis avalanche.
That’s great thank you! Will check all of that out :-) everyone is in favour of widening the border so I’ll go with the majority, appreciate the inspiration!
And curve it ... as has been suggested ... it'll look great

I will! Should I curve it to meet the curve of the wall?
