That's where primitivism comes in, to break up that stiff monotony. I am looking forward to do "The Look of Tiki" with Martin McIntosh next, where I will be able to go all out with textures and patterns and colors, it will be a clutter fest! You need to get with Wayne Coombs and help him finish his "Book of Tacky"...
