Mine is nearly two years old now. I feel for you about the sleep regression. I've lost count how many times we've had to evolve the routine to something acceptable, but fundamentally, they're all based on the same stuff.
A good sleep routine is important. Bath, reading and music are usually good ones to follow. We do a bottle before bed as well, though we're trying to wean him off of it.
I personally have a few extra things in my nursery I find helpful.
1. Amazon Echo. Great for streaming lullabies prior to sleep, white noise and I bet there's stories, but I haven't found anything good and my son prefers we read to him anyways (he loves books).
2. Security cam with cry detection and intercom mode. Sometimes, rather than go into the room, we will just announce our intentions to our son and say things like wait. Go to bed. We are on our way, be patient (and slowly meander over) etc. On days where he won't say down in the crib, I will leave the room and stand by the door. The moment that I hear shuffling in the room just before he stands up, I reopen the door immediately and say, "Hey! Lie down!" and after he lies down, I usually can leave since he seems to know I'm watching him and know what he's doing somehow.
3. Bed. Sometimes if my wife and I are absolutely exhausted, we will just stay in the room overnight in the bed. The goal usually is to sneak out after he starts falling asleep, but if we fall asleep in the room while nabbing a little shut eye and telling him to stop making noises and go to sleep, oh well, whatever. We started doing this with naps as well. We used to just use the glider chair, but a bed was way comfier. Also, if we need to touch and whatnot, we are doing so from outside his crib, not standing over it and adding strain to our back etc.
4. Smart lights/paired with Amazon Echo. This allows us to dim lights lower than normal as part of bed time routine and turn on lights without getting up or doing laps in the nursery in case we need to quickly flick on the lights to check something. This is more a luxury now, but when my son was a newborn, it was a god send.
