Master Reno help?

Our master bedroom since moving in 1.5 YEARS ago, remains, well not such of a masterpiece.  The walls the same dusty, scuffed browns they were the day we moved in.  No art work adorns the walls.  No nothing.  

 Our bathroom, the same story, only in show home not-so-white.  

 With some fabulous accessories!

While Jeff takes on basement walls, wires & lights, I'm hoping to make the Master feel a little more Masterful.  Starting with the bathroom.  I have a few accent walls painted so far, but a lot left to do!  And I've come to a cross roads & need some input.  We are replacing {err, um, spray painting depending on budget} all the light fixtures as we go room to room.  All our brassy gold is becoming oil rubbed bronze.  Which was also my intentions in here.  Until...

Our shower door trim is silver & I panted this same black/grey color in there & the silver that once looked so blah & boring, looks renewed.  I had intended on painting that little bit of wall where the light fixtures hang grey & put up oil rubbed bronze lights.  However, I'm thinking maybe I should paint it dark instead & do this room up with Nickle finishes for lights?  

What do you think??
