Ugly bathroom tile in rental - need opinion

[Christian Carson]

I just bought a cheap 1100sf rental that will bring about $800-900/month in a blue collar neighborhood.

The full bath has yellow/white tile along the walls and the shower. It's in very good shape but it's ugly as sin. Pictures attached.

I plan to retile the bathroom floor and replace the vanity. Can I get your opinions as to what kind of color combinations will make this bathroom look less hideous? Remember it's a rental, so it doesn't need to be particularly amazing-looking, but if I can choose a complementary tile color, it would improve things greatly.

Yep keep the tiles. I would opt to change the floor to something that highlights the tile maybe. And perhaps a solid light grey ceramic tile floor? I was going to suggest replacing the vanity with a pedestal sink but not for a rental. I've had to replace two bowls on one due to something falling out of the medicine cabinet and breaking them. BTW, I think I see the edge of a hideous medicine cabinet in one of the pics? Definitely needs replacing.

This is exactly what I would suggest. I had a similar issues in a property where I hated the look of something but there was nothing wrong with it. I originally budgeted to replace it but decided for about 1/4 the money I could dress up the surroundings and improve the overall look more. I would add light ceramic tiles and get everything else in place and I think the bathroom will be in great shape for the rental price range you are in.
