"Clutter" kinda has a negative connotation. How about "layered" and "dense" environments? That is the CLASSIC look of a Tiki Bar, something that resembles the collected jetsam and flotsam in an old sailor's bar, or the assembled weapons, shields and masks in an old ethnological museum display --environments that create an atmosphere of mystery, and of exotic lands and customs.

Then there is the look of Tiki Modern, the environment created by the sophisticated urbanite who appreciates modern and primitive art and displays only selected, prime pieces in their mid-century home decorated with designer furniture.

...and then there are the many different stages inbetween the two. :)
