    change the ceiling light to a fabulous chandelier or pendant. add a tall vase,with florals to your counter, a linen panel to side of window to soften the harshness of the tile.something in icycool tones. candles.ifyou are not against painting the cabinets,earth tone.

    change of the tile to some light shade or use of highlighter should definitively work

    Maybe it's a lot of tile, and feels a bit masculine. Maybe some touches in the other direction will make it really fun...

    Like a chandelier over the tub- This ons is cool;

    and maybe replace the lights over the mirror with something chandelier-ish too just to drive the concept home:

    Then add some lavender or coral towels, and maybe a towel bar on the window wall to get a little fabric in there. The softness is what's missing, I think The view is GORGEOUS!

    Just noticed I agree with mjzurita about the chandelier! It feels a little like 2 different bathrooms, if it's possible to replace the countertop with something complementary to the bath surround tile, and then repeat that bath surround tile as the sink's backsplash I think you'll really love it.

    I rather like the darker section; there are some stunning photos of baths with darker tones on houzz. Yours looks rather stark -- and the cabinet doesn't seem to go with the rest of it. That mirror doesn't fit the space. It ends in mid-sweep across the wall. Changing that to 2 mirrors with framing would fit better Don't care for the light fixtures; they don't seem to go with the decor and are way too high. You may not be able to change the location, but there may be something you can do about the fixtures. Love the idea of a chandelier -- and it doesn't have to be crystal "foo-foo."

    Some lux accessories -- rich-looking rugs, towels -- and a different countertop (maybe more $$ than you want to contemplate) would soften and give a spa atmosphere.

    It appears there is a lot of tile in the room and it could use some softening. The addition of a valance on the window that looks like a roman shade in some a gorgeous shimmering silk looking fabric would add some softness to the room. The fabric can be treated for water issues or use a split bamboo shade just for texture.It is difficult without knowing your budget but a different and light fixtures would be great . I would do the mirrors taller and possibly two frames with sconces on the sides.

    Add some wall hung vases to your brown tile wall using 3M removable hangers and fill with whatever your heart desires. http://www.cb2.com/wall-decor/accessories/wall-mounted-teardrop-vase/f2906

    I agree its very masculine and needs some feminine touches to balance it out. a few potted plants, curtains or blinds to the window. I would try to bring the color from the tub over by the sink and vise versa, so it doesn't look like two seperate rooms

    I agree that frames on the mirrors will really help- perhaps in the gorgeous brown from the bath area tile.

    HI -- The vanity has to be darkened to match with the other wood and tiles. Adding a frame- big enough to fill in the space between the mirror and backsplash - around the mirror in the same dark tone and lower the vanity lights or I prefer you get something more modern and lineal closer to the top of the mirror frame. Certain elements of the bathroom design are off - like the length of the mirror and the granite counter top and sinks.The whole vanity area doesn't go with the rest of the bathroom. Add your color in the towels etc. What do you do about the privacy with such a big window and no blinds ?
