More sticks would help to allow him to climb up and down easier and avoid screen climbing. My little guy likes to sleep near the bottom of the cage, so I try to have sticks going everywhere for him to easily move around.
For plants, I can’t really tell, but if that’s an Ivy plant on the floor, I think it is one of the bad plants: https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/ivy-plant.176314/

Absolutely agree with what Amberbluefrog said above. Also, hammocks are not good for chameleons, and you should ditch it. And your basking spot looks very close o your heat bulb. It poses a burn risk. I would elevate my light off the screen and make sure basking any hotter than 80 if you're getting a young chameleon.
I do not see a thermometer or humidity guag inside the enclosure. You'll want at least 1 at basking, but probably 2 or 3 throughout the enclosure.

Picture #1 is English ivy and should be removed.
The other 2 are devil's ivy (pothos) and are safe.

Yes, an umbrella plant is super helpful. I got mine at Home Depot for $17-20 which I know can be pricy, but it fills out the bottom half of my enclosure nicely and the little guy sleeps in it every night now.

It’s a good start, but you really need to add many more branches and plants. Dragon ledges make hanging things so much easier, but you could create a scaffold type support attached to the frame or some use garden trellis. I use branches from outside that I’ve washed with Dawn dish soap and rinsed well. Just avoid pine and other trees with sap. As others have said, get a centerpiece plant to fill things out. Dracaena or schefflera do really nice for this, or even a mass cane. For smaller plants, I raised them up by putting on top of overturned plant pots. This is my panther’s set up. I have a hibiscus for his centerpiece, but keep in mind that I use a strong plant light.This is my set up for my panther chameleon i have more leafs coming in the mail but i’m getting the little guy tomorrow!
