Black fixtures are a special order/exotic kind of item. If you are bold enough, use a wallpaper with some black in it, then pick up other colors in the paper with towels and mats. Plants always help, no matter how small, even a tiny one on a shelf. I'm a decorator, so I tend to go bold. For example, I used a black background wallpaper with huge tropical leaves in one bathroom, because the adjoining room was done in a tropical theme. You can follow some of black into your kitchen (black appliances would really be great), black table/chairs, some black in your window coverings, small appliances, towels etc. Good Luck!

I would go with a rich golden tan, such as Benjamin Moore's desert tan (which actually has some gold in it depending on the light). Try their color visualizer:
My sister has a half bath off her main floor hall. She has the black toilet and sink. She wallpapered the whole room in a very expensive, embossed silver paper. It has a slight blue tinge to it and is shiny. It looks stunning! And the room is small, so the expensive paper didn't cost much, as she only needed 1 roll. Cost less than a hundred bucks for the whole room.

I have a black tub and sink and will be putting in terracotta tiles. Could you help with a wall color? We have bead board on the bottom half of the wall.
