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!

Bidet definitely. I refuse to poop anywhere else now.

Peg boards are really handy for hanging pots and pans and save you a lot of cabinet space

Similarly installing small shelves in the kitchen area for spices frees up counter space.

Ricer cooker with a steam tray on top, just remember you'll need more water when cooking rice and steaming something at the same time. I love cooking tamales and steam baos from in mine
