INHO those pictures show things that are all clutter and look like clutter.

Whoever said 'display the objects, hide the stuff’ had it right. Too many objects become stuff, become clutter.
Trying to create and maintain a semblance of order and intent is basically the ongoing struggle against entropy.
I like to see lots of stuff. I'm very fussy about the colours and mixture of shapes though. I arrange things carefully as if I was making a painting. A rich visual experience is what I'm after. Sparse rooms with only a few objects and not very many paintings make me feel uncomfortable. Triste would be my word for that. Some people don't even have books, which puzzles me greatly. But I guess if you have a TV then there is no need for anything else as you can just live your life through that.
There are far more people looking at my pen collection *online* than physically.
So it makes a lot more sense (to me anyways, not speaking for anyone else) for me to invest my time building an online "display" of my collection.

For me the big thing is making my pens easily accessible. The whole point is for me to use them, so I need to be able to put a new pen in rotation without having to spend ages going into a cupboard, finding the box, taking the pen out, etc, etc.
I do love the photo in the article of the fish-shaped plates. The cat is looking at them wistfully! smart creature.
