In this post, we will take a look at the elements of tiki design which can be construed as cultural appropriation. We feel it is important to do this because we are very passionate about the countries we import from and the people who live there.
The origins of Tiki culture are rooted in Polynesian art and mythology with influences from surrounding Pacific islands. What we as Americans know as Tiki is a blend of several elements of these island cultures which is mixed with Americanized versions of tropical imagery.
Tiki culture has become synonymous with vibrant tropical imagery, amazing and colorful tropical cocktails, and a laid-back lifestyle. It evokes images of island paradises and Polynesian artforms. It is an exciting yet relaxing state of mind, a kind of exotic escapism.
If you want to feel like you are on a secluded, paradise island even when you are at home, decorating your bedroom tropical style is a good way to start. This design style brings a pleasant feeling of serenity and escape, inspired by the nature in remote tropical destinations.
Turning a corner of a room or perhaps the whole room itself into a tropical escape is so exciting and rewarding. You can shop wherever you want in person and online, depending on your goals and your budget. But it shouldn’t be needlessly expensive!
A patio, or a balcony, represents the connection between our home and nature, which is why it can easily be turned into a relaxing place for outdoor living. If you are yearning of spending time in beautiful, breathtaking areas like South Pacific, Hawaii, or the Caribbean, you can bring a piece of that stunning paradise to your home by adding elements of tropical décor style to your deck or terrace.
As mentioned in our earlier post about awesome Caribbean getaways for families (Part 1), wintertime can be very hit or miss for some parents. Lots of people love the snow, the winter sports, and other activities. But some do reach a limit and need a change of scenery, especially when children are involved.
