Might I suggest you get some of the raffia table skirts they sell at Party City and elsewhere, and staple them to the ceiling against the wall. This gives an added "bamboo hut" thatch roof feeling and softens the line between the ceiling and walls. PLUS! It's a very quick, easy install. I did this in the paneled basement I was in before and it was nice. Especially in the low light of a tiki bar. And if you don't like the length, you can just trim it up some, make it a rough, uneven edge, etc. The skirts are 12 feet and a bargain compared to the skirts. 3 times the length of a skirt for only maybe twice the price.
