I agree with the suggestions to change out the lighting and mirror above the sink and add some window treatments (something simple, like a roman shade in a thin texture/colorful fabric that would provide privacy without blocking too much light). I wouldn't paint the water heater above the bath, but I would raise the shower curtain rod closer to the ceiling and get a very long shower curtain so that the water heater is hidden (assuming that it isn't a fire hazard to have the water heater a bit more enclosed). That will also provide some drama/glamour.

It also looks like the ceiling is arched, which is a cool architectural detail that I would consider playing up by painting it a contrasting color.

I do think it's a shame that the before couldn't be salvaged, but understand why the peach and pink combo was problematic for the owners. If it had just been peach or pink, I think it should have been saved.

I was disappointed with the remodel, however. It reminds me of the dorm bathroom from when I was a student at a German university in the late 90s. I'm generally a fan of the clean, modern look, but the wall tile is ultra-institutional, and I'm not sure I like it in combination with the shower floor tile and the bathroom floor tile.
