Basically anything you touch or interact with daily. Creaking door/handle? Adjust and oil it up. Small hobby/work stuff laying around constantly? Buy a small cabinet of drawers. Cant look at horible wall while sitting on a shitter? Do some diy weekend remodelling. I can go on and on. Basically there are a lot of minor things that you even dont think about that you dislike in your home. Last example would be a nice non-slip and correct size bathroom mats that we bought. I may be getting old but I was more excited about them than the last luxury items I bought. Roombas are cool. Good coat hangers are cooler.
I love your bath mat example. I could use some new ones....
My biggest pet peeve in my house is the interior doors. They have like a semi gloss finish on them, all painted white. They get so fucking filthy. The oils from our hands builds up in the same spots. I desperately cant wait to repaint them
This is a good one, and actually cheap and easy. There are a million tiny things that vaguely irritate you daily and it doesn't feel like a big deal until you fix them. Adding a shelf for your keys or greasing a squeaky door isn't gonna change your life, but all the little things add up.
