Apple should let you choose a different wallpaper for each page on your homescreen. I'm guessing like most people I sort apps by page in a sort of theme(wallpaper should fit with theme).
Page 1 Only the most used, live time & weather, calender, maps...clean look
Page 2 All my favorite websites
Page 3 Apps I use
Page 4 Games / Entertainment orientated
Page 5 Apps I rarely use / settings
Page 6 Apps I dont use but cant delete(apple apps)
