I have seen collections that literally take over a room: hundreds of items stuffed into shelves, covering table tops and floors and crammed into cupboards.
The owners have the mentality that more is better but when there are dozens and hundreds of items, the mass of items are just that: a mass!
This is a marvelous example of how to showcase a collection: with restraint, with space and with drama.
With collections, less is MORE because each piece can be seen clearly and fully appreciated. If you have a huge collection, put most of it away and showcase a minimum. Every few months, pull out some of the other items and showcase them on a rotating basis.
