Hey Aesthetic enthusiasts!

What are your top rules for making an iPhone setup look clean and stay functional using only stock iOS (no 3rd party apps)?

I'm trying to fine-tune my setup and looking for your best principles on:

Wallpapers: Balancing Lock/Home screen synergy with enough negative space so icons and widgets are actually legible.

Lock Screen: Combining the depth effect with minimal, high-utility widgets without cluttering it.

Home Screen: Organizing native icons, Focus modes, or native Shortcuts for a cohesive color palette.

Usability: Using Smart Stacks and App Library to keep pages clean and fast to navigate.
How do you strike the balance between aesthetics and utility?
