26M: Help me make my house less boring

Hey everyone, I bought my house two years ago, and honestly, I’ve done the bare minimum to make it feel like home. It’s functional, but it’s definitely missing some personality, especially on the walls. I have no idea where to even start when it comes to decor, so I thought I’d turn to you all for some ideas.

A little about me: I live alone, so it’s just me here, but I have friends over all the time—movie nights, gaming, or just hanging out. I also work from home part of the week, so my space has to do double duty as a chill zone and an office. I’m into gaming, tech, and sports, but I’d love to add something that makes the space feel a little more put together, maybe even a bit impressive. Like, “this guy has his life together” vibes without going overboard, you know? Bonus points if it’s something classy enough to pass the parents’ approval but still gets a nod from my friends (and maybe the occasional date).

I’m sharing pics of my living room, kitchen, entry, and bedroom. Would love any suggestions for wall decor or just general ideas to make the place feel a bit more like home. Thanks!
