I get asked this all the time, so here’s a quick guide! The number of surface prints really depends on the size of your collection, but here’s how I like to break it down:

Small Collection (6-12 pieces): 2-3 unique prints. You’ll want one main "hero" print that steals the show, and 1-2 supporting prints that are more subtle or work as accents.

Medium Collection (15-30 pieces): 3-5 prints. Mix in 1-2 bold, statement prints and a few coordinating simpler ones, giving you variety without overwhelming the collection.

Large Collection (30+ pieces): 5-8 prints. This is where you can really play with different styles—mix in some bold, detailed prints with smaller, minimalist ones for more flexibility across products.At the end of the day, each print should have a purpose, whether it’s making a statement or creating harmony in your collection.
