Is my bathroom plain?
I chose I high gloss black tile for the floor and up one wall.
All other walls are white.

Impala Black ( tile not granite but similar )

Any ideas to make it WOW?

Emily Hurley HI Rayess, Any chance you can attach some pics of your bathroom to get some ideas going for you specific to your space?

clarejames looks fabulous. Depends how bold/brave you want to be, but I've noticed lime green is a key colour at the moment. A friend of mine also had a black and white bathroom and used cerise pink towels which also looked amazing, with one or two accents.. perhaps with a roman blind in stripes with one of the colours picked out in it? flexible and cheaper way of keeping your bathroom up to date.

olldroo rayess - your bathroom will only be plain if you let it be. You have a great base here all you need are accessories to add the wow. As already suggested lime green and cerise are good choices also red, orange or bold shades of yellow. Even white towels with silver bling. The best thing with accessories is that you can have several sets and change them out to suit your moods at minimal expense. Add things slowly so you don't overdo it.

Dawn Hearn Interior Design I agree with olldroo, you have a great start. I like the idea of the black and white base and using accessories, like art and towels, to bring in the color. You can totally change the room with a few items. I think you could add some blue-greens to all the good color suggestions listed above.
