How can I make this studio apartment feel like a home?

Hello all, thanks for taking an interest in my post.

I live in an industrial-styled studio apartment with 16ft ceilings, an exposed sprinkler system, very bright track lighting, and two white concrete pillars with grey concrete toward the ceiling.

I have about 9 months left on my lease and am not sure if I will renew. That said, the goal is to make this place feel more like a home for those 9 months without spending thousands of dollars.

Except the laptop, 2 monitors, and kitchen appliances, I consider everything pictured to be disposable if necessary.

All that's essential are a place to sleep, a place to dine (ideally with 5 guests), and a place for the laptop with 2 monitors. I'm considering a dining table where the black table is on the wall near the entry. Also considering amber-colored Edison bulbs somewhere and two very tall plants in the window corners.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I admire you who can visualize and make sense of these sorts of puzzles!

Nick
