In the mid-1990s, people took a renewed interest in the Tiki culture and decorating style
. This interest grew to such proportions that books about the Tiki culture were even published, thus ensuring the Tiki culture's re-entry into the American mainstream. Tiki-themed parties and events are now very common across America, with Southern California leading the pack in terms of number. It doesn't really matter where the Tiki culture actually originated from, the fact is that it is interesting and the Tiki decorating style is definitely a lot of fun. Wherever there is an island-themed party, you are sure to find traces of the Tiki.
