i need ideas for a hawaiian theme room?
Answers:
Bamboo is great for tropical decorating, I think. You can get bamboo shades, bamboo floor mats, etc. I work in a greenhouse where we sell twig screens that would also work as a wall covering, or even a headboard for your bed. The bamboo window shades could also be modified for a headboard. If you're "crafty" at all, a bamboo lampshade or a lacy basket covering for a ceiling light could be cool.
A web search would put you in contact with fabric stores which specialize in tropical print fabrics...I have a thing for retro Hawaiian prints like you would see in old Five-O reruns. You could go with sedate colors, like the retro patterns, or with really bright patterns. Depending on how much tolerance you have for visual chaos, a print for pillow shams or a bedspread might be enough of that sort of thing.
Another idea could be a surfer-girl theme. We're doing something like this for my 12 year old's room this summer. Cool blue, teal and chocolate brown. There are some really nice string curtains in these colors at Bed, Bath & Beyond, I think. I'm thinking these colors will hold up well for her over the next several years.

Tikis are a good start, but think luau in a big way. Consider using reed mats as a wall covering. Suspend salvaged fishing net from the ceiling with random commercial floats in the netting. Include lush houseplants, especially palm-looking dracena and orchids. Hang a ukulele, masks, or a shield on the wall like the kind you find at Pier One Imports or Cost Plus. Put on a Don Ho record.
Consider rattan furniture designed for the indoors and lighting with a torch-like quality. Use tropical print upholstery, drapes, and linens. Incorporate the clear, vibrant colors of the tropics. Use bamboo and woods.
