Besides it just looks cool, it: Gets rid of the white ceiling that makes the room much bright and makes the tiki bar lighting scheme "work". Covered ceiling = darker. Makes the room cohesive. You get the real emmersive effect we all crave. What about the floor? Well, now that the place is darker, and you have the light up high, the floor "goes away" more. Smells good! This much of the right stuff up there near warmer areas will give off the right smell. Makes for a more emmersive experience. Now all that stuff you wanna hang will look damn good! Covering the ceiling is a biggy. Changes everything. Good job. You are now seriously over the edge like the rest of us with these awesome, yet obsessive rooms. But you know, no one has every thought the tiki room odd, just great.
