If you live in a place with leaded paint painting over it or wallpapering over it will help your health to some degree. As a spoiler those waterproof peel and stick drawer liners from Dollar Tree make a reasonable wallpaper. If you rent beware of the stick, some of the peel and stick can really get stuck on if you leave it for a bit even though its supposedly a safe temp deal. For more decor improvements blinds/blackout curtains make a difference, especially if you have peeping tom neighbors or work on shifts. A lot of blackout curtains are nice to have in summer, they really do make the room feel cooler.
Good sheets/pillows and maybe a mattress topper, again more of a sales watch deal. Using a mattress topper I was able to get more life out of my 15yo mattress.
Tools are always good to have on hand.
