ODD NUMBERS RULE:
groupings of 3, 5, 7, etc. work best. this way you can create a focal point and keep things interesting. You can always use even numbers too, just make sure you make it balanced.

TEXTURE:
don’t be afraid to use products in different materials. the variance in texture adds depth and elevates the whole look.

FLAIR:
for a touch of flair, try changing up the shapes. we love the idea of arches or something mixed in with some dimension to really make a statement and stand out.
