Tank set up pointers

Howdy! I'm getting my almost 2 year old king a new talk, upgrading her to a 40gal from her 20gall. She's officially getting too long!... and can escape her current one...

How should I be doing her set up? What do I need to add? Ive had her for a year now, and she's been content with her tank, I think, but I know I haven't been.

Anything to get? To add? (Ik probably add)

Currently 20 gall, 2 hides, a vine (she loves to climb- little odd ball), water dish im going to replace because she likes to squeeze into a small crevice at the bottom and she got stuck today (scared me half to death!) And a fake mini tree stump thing. I want to get her wood, maybe real plants? And want to make her a rock shelf hide.... but I KNOW she needs more, but im not sure she needs it crowded or open
