What's one thing I can get/do to make my first "adult" apartment a bit nicer? (hexbear.net)

Move in is the next few weeks. I've lived on my "own" (roommate I never interacted with) for a couple months my last semester of college, but that was a temporary setup whereas I'm hopefully moving out for good this time.

Bear in mind that the place has window/wall A/C and electric heating.

Things I'm already considering:

  • Drain guard
  • Bidet
  • Cold brew coffee maker
  • Rice cooker
  • Space heater? I'd like to keep the temp largely down during the winter to save money while warming up the part of the place I'm in
  • Key for washer/dryer

Things I already have:

  • Most furniture
  • Air fryer
  • Seltzer water thingy
  • Meal prep containers

General advice is also welcome!

Some art on the walls is a nice touch.

I have one (1) framed poster I'll be bringing. Will look to see what else strikes my fancy

Beat me to it. Nothing makes a domicile a home faster than art and photographs on the walls. Pictures of family on the mantle or on the bar, some Pier 1 cheap-ass prints, maybe a decorative plant, boom. Home.
