This is just from personal opinion(i.e. if it were my house).....:

I wouldn't purchase anything big else:
-Get a black flush ornate iron floor vent cover. (tripping hazard but on wall)

-Paint the mirror-surround black, to add an addition matching element/color.

-Add subtle black somewhere else. Maybe in a area rug in front of the shower.

-Paint the ceiling white(or better yet a warm off-white matching the wall paint) to lighten the area and extend headroom.

-Paint the walls a much lighter shade of whatever is there.
--Too much contrast with that white window frame. It sticks out like a sore thumb.
--Too much blah-same putty color throughout the space. The granite color is "warm" but the walls are "cool", and kind of pukey.
-The wall paint matches the same putty cabinets and granite, and doesn't give depth and contrast.

I painted a couple huge spaces many times until a decent color was found.
We didn't agree.
The box stores sell cheap 1/2 pint samplers for experimenting.
