Depending on how frequently you may want to use/take out the CDs you can design alphabetic sorters and put them in drawers kind of like at record stores or if you want to use them more often (or have them displayed in a cool way) you can get one of those rolling carts, especially if they are made of wood, they always make for an interesting display. If you go the rolling cart route, I suggest that you thrift one, there is all kinds of carved and/or painted rolling carts that you can find.

So it's easier to pull out once you dump alot of stuff in, if you're looking for basic storage. I recently got a floor to ceiling clothes rail though, because I wanted to put my not-clean-not-dirty-yet clothing on something other than The Chair (and actually sit in said chair to work lol), since drilling into the walls is not allowed.

under bed storage, coffee table with drawers, a dedicated stuff closet, shelves just for organizing (I like an ikea kallax with those little fold out storage bins). squeeze use out of every square inch of shelf, closet, and drawer space, get stuff out of sight and out of mind. only super hack I can provide is that you can stuff poufs with blankets, jackets, old tees, and pillows and get a nice ottoman too

Whether you need inspo, are curious about the discourse over the last few decades, want to get into a new hobby or whatever else, you can download open source magazine issues from decades past. They have magazines from as early as the early 1900s too! I have been obsessed with old video games lately so I have been looking at the old club nintendo magazines and it has been so fun. Like look at some of the covers these magazines used to have

There is something about seeing someone be unconscious about something that they really love. The sincerity of it, the way they forget to be quiet if its in public, the way they gesture with their hands more. Its great 10/10 would recommend being passionate about your interests!

This might be a strange solution but it may help: when you see something thats not a garment that you consider beautiful for whatever reason, photograph it and then use your wardrobe to try and capture that energy.
For example, I go on a lot of nature walks and something that happens a lot on my walks is that I'll see a lot of beautiful colours that I often don't see worn together, blends of textures like where the leaves of a tree meet the sky etc and so I try to capture that. Like that's how I realised that I love the colour combination of orange and grey.
To help I may then look through old magazines and cut out images to make scrapbook pages of inspiration, or if I have the influence of a particular era in mind to express the look I may look at stills of films from that decade (that's another way you can use pinterest that's not so algo heavy).
Then you just try stuff on and see how you feel, what you like about your attempts what you don't like etc. Ultimately imo the easiest way to avoid relying on algorithms for fashion inspiration is to take inspiration from things other than clothes and to practice translating the aesthetic principles into garments.
Do you like that one brutalist style building with hedges of wild flowers near the place you work? How do you express it in an outfit. Do you keep looking at the sheen of an apple before you bite into it? What fabrics might have a similar effect?
And then use the clothes that you have to try things and edit/style your looks until you get to things you like wearing.
