just looking around
It’s appropriate to say “I’m just looking around” in response to “Can I help you?” in just about any store, except hardware stores. You should always be looking for something in a hardware store unless you want funny looks. If you don’t have something in mind, I suggest “picture hooks.”

But don’t you go to hardware stores for inspiration?

Of course I do but if I will definitely get weird looks if the follow conversation happens: “Can I help you?” “No no my dear sir! I am here merely for inspiration.”
