Doh! Just saw your BR study pix! I wouldn't personally want to repeat the same area, but if you love it, you can. I'd want art. Even black & white art or photos. Something that speaks to you personally so your home doesn't look like a showplace - but like your Home! lol My only other thought is that you don't want it to look too safe - like you couldn't make any decsiions so you just did everything in either black or white. You want the design to look purposeful. Search Houzz for black & white living rooms & you'll find lots of inspiration (which you probably have doen already!). Just for fun, I've attached a couple of pix of an arc lamp we have in our apartment. The globe is glass & my DH hit his head on it & broke it once. That's why it's not really properly placed but is too close to the wall! lol Live & learn! That's the only way to make it in life!

Stop using solid soap and start using shower gel. Do you really need to share the soap with all users of the same shower? Add a corner shelf that won't catch your elbows as you move your arms in the shower. If you just must have a dish for solid soap, get a shower head on a rail. Most of them come with a soap dish that can be used or discarded. Problem with that is that it isn't removable for thorough cleaning. It still won't give you space for the shampoo bottle and other things you need.

Is the bathroom in a rental property or do you own? If you are looking for the modern look then the black accessories will definitely work with that look whilst the bamboo pieces will add warmth and texture, maybe a spa feel. I agree with the previous posts about storing away your toiletries, this will also help with a modern look. Matching towels in maybe grey can be used as part of the styling. Once you belongings are stashed then you can add some nice visual pieces to add some dimension and colour, like vases with greenery and candles.
