That's pretty much exactly what I came here to say. People who've been on video chat have seen my kitchen/family room from time to time. It's not real cluttered so long as we keep ahead of the kids. But we have books and toys lining most walls in most of the rooms where they play any significant amount. Conservatively, my two boys have about 500 books.
Minimalist is not an option with kids.
