Depending on your ceiling height and the look you want you can use as many as you like and a combination of small and large. I would recommend having at least two, one above the other for an effective 'gallery wall' look.
I did find that thick frames don't sit that well and as my wall is by the front door, I did have an 'incident' when the wind was blowing the wrong way! So I'd recommend thin frames, or only use thick frames for small pictures.
I have a combination of prints, postcards, photos, Millie's hand and foot prints and an enamel tile. I've kept the colour palette of the pieces quite limited, black and white with shots of blue, yellow and red. I've tied all the pieces together by using black frames.
What I love about this wall is it was so easy to put together, without putting lots of 'mistake' holes in my walls. Plus, I can change this around if I get a bit bored and really easily change the look... for instance, having an eclectic mix of frames would give a more vintage look.
As for arranging your pieces, a triangular-ish shape works well. What I mean is have taller pieces towards the middle and work down towards the edges, but don't be afraid to mix it up a bit. Again, the beauty of using the shelves is you can experiment to your hearts content.
Oh... and I have battery fairy lights strewn across mine too!
