I would suggest either a larger piece of art or wallpaper.

Or continue on creating a gallery wall, filling it floor to ceiling (well, nearly) for a strong statement. That's what I did in my powder room (thanks to ilikefriday's inspiration) and love it! I wouldn't necessarily hang my artwork that way anywhere else in the house, but in such a small, confined space it just seems to work well.

Is this the picture? [Contemporary Powder Room[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/contemporary-powder-room-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_713~s_2103) by Hallandale Interior Designers & Decorators 2id Interiors If you are inspired by this picture, I think going with anything dark just because the floor is dark will give you a completely different look. I would still go with the light colors with the existing dark floor.

In my last home I did my powder room with an English library sort of 'vibe'. The walls were a deep red(Balmoral Red/Ralph Lauren),and I used pictures, small mirrors, corbels, plates, etc. from ceiling to baseboard. All frames were very ornate and were either gold or black/ gold. If you have a standard builders grade mirror, get rid of it or add a heafty frame, which is what I did, or remove the mirror and use a decorative hanging mirror, not necessarily intended for a bathroom. I also hung a small narrow shelf directly in front of 'the loo' which held small vintage books, since I thought it would add to that English library look I was going for. When I put the home on the market to sell, instead of a negative, it was a hit! I did leave the little shelf since the new owner wanted to re-create the look.

Curtains would be a good idea. Even though you have blinds for privacy, curtains make the windows look finished. A little eyeliner besides the mascara. I would not do a colored curtain here. Curtains are just to darn expensive to have to switch out when your color palette changes. I would suggest white or off white, whichever you prefer in a silk or silk-like fabric, and get a marvelous trim for the edge. The edge trim can be in a white and black or whatever color you want to take from your rug or elsewhere in the room. I would not do a curtain trim in gold here because I see 4 windows, for 8 panels, that would be a lot of gold. You want tasteful gold embellishment in a space, not Liberace in Las Vegas. Here are some examples of trimmed curtains. Buy the plain curtain, and then buy the trim of your choice, and buy extra trim to embellish throw pillows, and buy coordinating different scale trim for other throw pillows. Another curtain option is a white curtain with a subtle pattern woven or printed on it.

The Asian cabinet is the star of the room. The table and chairs are less “formal” so I would suggest keeping a table cloth and fabric chair back covers on permanently to get the furniture feeling more in line with the fabulous cabinet. For window treatments, I would keep it simple and sheer. Again, the Asian cabinet is a knockout piece and everything else needs to complement it.

I think continuing with the gallery wall would be fantastic, but the pieces look a little wobbly at the moment. I think the problem might be that they are not straight. It might also be that you are trying to put vertical and horizontal pieces together in the same size frame as the horizontal pieces. I think you need some larger pieces in the mix. I use glue dots on the corners to keep the frames straight. The smaller the frame, the more noticeable it will be if they are not straight. If you keep what you currently have, I would rearrange so that the vertical pieces are not all in the same row.
