Plenty of choices. Do you want taller, wider, or both? How big an area?
Some ideas that deer won't touch
Shrubs:
Boxwoods (get big ones as they take FOREVER to grow)
PJM Rhododendron
Forsythia (this is the wildcard as it can get big without trimming)
All three above are great to accent with perenials as you have the green to contrast off of. Most importantly they are winter hardy but the box woods should be protected in the winter with some kidn of burlap fencing if they get hit with direct sun.
Perenials:
1. Heuchera (pronounced YOU-KA-RA) (many colorsw to chose from and tough as nails plant)
2. Common sage - next too "Palace purple heucheras" is great combo
If you snap a picture of the area I can throw some more ideas at you. Personally I don't like euonymus as they tend to look haggard from snow getting on them, etc.
