Change only Home Screen wallpaper on iPhone 16

iPhone 16. Just updated. I want to change only the Home Screen wallpaper.

I would start by creating a new Wallpaper from scratch and then customise the Home Screen Wallpaper, following the 14-step process shown below. I may choose the same photos that I used previously, but starting afresh allows me to configure the Wallpaper for Lock and Home Screen independently and make the necessary adjustments more carefully. This approach also helps me avoid carrying forward any existing customisations or settings that may not be ideal. In short, even if I use the same photos, starting from scratch gives me better control over the entire configuration process.
