I go back and forth on this one. On one hand, it does not really add anything and for a long time I did not really use it. There isn't much point without an appearance system (or a more crucial one). ...
I like using "clutter" to add personality to a place and make it look lived in but I do not feel the need to put it everywhere. I've seen builds with kitchen counters with so much stuff that in reality would be a nightmare to clean. You just need a couple of pieces for some extra colour in my opinion
