Amazing. I think there's a few different ways to go with Tiki Style in a dwelling. I think Painting walls definitely goes with great with "Tiki Modern".... Mid Century Modern and Tiki mixed. I think the 2 themes work great together. It's a great way to create a tiki style space and not have to buy tons of tiki decor, just by using a MCM minimalist approach....one great wall hanging (esp a large Witco) on a wall painted the right color makes a strong tiki statement. The other and more obvious way is to go with the organized clutter look, lahala matting, bamboo, lots of collectibles, masks, mugs, tikis everywhere... that's a great one too...so,it depends on your taste. Funny, but your space seems to have achieved a little of both. Awesome !
