Decorating a bedroom

We don't redo our rooms very often. In fact after 30 years of having the same wallpaper in our bedroom we are taking it down and painting. The colors of the room are going to be black, gray, silver, & white. We are painting the walls a dove gray and the bedspread is a black & gray striped type of pattern. Picture frames are black & chrome. And many of the pics on the wall are motorcycle related. What I was wondering is what can I do to feminize it a bit more? I really do like black, it is my favorite color but I don't want it to become drab. I think a very sheer white curtain would help. Sister in law thought a black curtain would look nice.
What do you think?

I would bring in another color, something a little brighter, like maybe a nice shade of red. You could get curtains with some red in them and then add other small accessories to bring the red into the rest of the room. Like maybe a red candle, a red throw pillow, maybe even a vase with some red flowers, real or fake. You could really do that with any color, just make sure it is a color that looks good with the colors you already have. Of course if you wanted to go with white, you could get the accessories in white as well. I just happen to like more color.

I have actually thought of red too or maybe a bright neon purple. Also thought of putting the color into throw pillows on the bed. (Great minds think alike) :) ! I don't know but can't wait to get it done. I want to use my new bedspread!
Thanks for your advice.

How about a contrasting color curtain? Not black or white, but red, yellow or something like that and a print.. not necessarily floral, but geometric or even lacy - black lace... has a conotation there!
