without seeing the improvements you have already planned in place, its hard to make suggestions. sorry that isnt helpful at all.

Wow you have so much space for your bathroom! I'm unclear where you enter the bathroom and where the dressing room is. My initial feelings is confusion as to where everything is. Also, your shower looks oddly small for all the space you have. But you didn't ask for big changes, just cosmetic ones.

Let's consider the areas of your bath retreat. You need to find ways to tie the different areas together. I'd find a lovely area rug with some color in the center The vanity area should have a mirror that matches the tone of your wood, or a white one that echoes the color of your cabinet by the tub. You should have a smaller towel bar near the sink to hang damp hand towels. I'd add a big picture to the right to your vanity, above your chair. I'd also add a small table to the right of the chair to hold incidentals. The wall space between your vanity and window is screaming for a picture that could mirror or at least blend with the one you get above your chair. I'm guessing the new custom built cabinet will be similar in color to your vanity? I'd put a larger towel bar near your shower to hang either bathrobes and/or towels for after your shower. Will you be adding a glass door or shower curtain to your shower? If it's a curtain, I'd add a solid colored one that picks up a color in your area rug. I'd echo that color in bathmats by the vanity; shower; and tub (and towels). Near your tub, I'd replace that mirror with a picture. If you can, I'd consider asking your cabinet maker to make a wood cover for the area that the tub is connected to. It would help blend your tub room with the rest of your bathroom. I'd put some candles on that ledge. Do you use a hand mirror while in the tub? If so, I'd add a small table in the corner to the right of the tub for incidentals. I'd also add a wall hook for bathrobe and/or damp towels. For the wall to the right of your window (by your tub) needs a small cabinet or shelves that will blend and balance with the white(?) tall cabinets with towels in it. Something antique in style. Maybe a ladder in that corner for damp towels, or a fern on an antique iron table. I'd add a large floral arrangement, or greenery on your white cabinet to soften the edges in that room. Take your time, shop around and wait until you find just the right thing! Good luck.

Barbara Almandarz thank you for all your input! The shower does look small in the photo, I think due to the temp shower curtain and lack of trim. We will eventually install a glass door. The shower is on the right, the walkway to the dressing room in the middle and the bedroom entrance on the left. The door slides back and forth. You know I've been living with that mirror above the tub for 12yrs, it's time to take it down. :0) Thanks again for giving me so much to consider.

Ahhh thanks for the explanation.

I dig that bathroom, especially the tub!!! We recently built storage on an angled wall for a client by recessing it into the opposite room, which was an office, so it made for natural bookcases in the office. Hopefully this can help. Worked out great in that case.
