To be fair about the clutter issues our tiki bar lives in between our living room and the family room. It's an island of bamboo in a sea of mid-century modern.
This shot is the tiki bar from the living room.
This is closer to the business end of the bar and it's how you are greeted as you enter our house.
(Our cherished copy of "Tiki Modern" lives here BTW)
Here are some old coconut heads hanging over what was a set of two planters but is now a lava-like red light box.
This is the boundary between bar and living room.
Here is the view from the family/dining room looking into the living room.
This is the business end of the bar. Notice that there is a nice glass float hanging there.
Back behind the bar I made some shelves to keep stuff.
There's also a big hanging cabinet over the bar to store liquor n'more which is home to some tiki drummers.
I have to say that I would go for jetsom & flotsam coating every surface if we had a tiki bar in it's own room.
This bar lives in the middle of our house and it needs to play nice with the clean lines of the rest of the house.
BUT the tiki influence does spill into the rest of the house with pictures accessories and the color pallet.
