Not to worry, I hear the next big thing is not Tiki/tropical at all but Safari. (I don't know who decides these things)Tropical, but less humid. I remember the desert boots and Safari jackets of the sixties. Ooooh, can't wait until they are back in style.
If you have any doubts just look at Domestication.com's website (budget class marketers of linens) In the past two years their summer catolog was almost all Hawaiian florals and tropical reef fish prints, now the majority of new summer designs are African animal images and patterns. Most of the basic materials will be the same; bamboo, ratan, grass cloth, with maybe a fake zebra skin and a few tribal masks thrown in, but no tikis. Watch and see.
