From hand-carved tikis to vibrant wall hangings, we infuse our creations with passion and attention to detail, ensuring that each item becomes a statement piece that transports you to a tropical paradise.
At Stroud's Specifics, we believe in the power of home decor to inspire, elevate, and tell a story.

We are committed to providing exceptional customer service, ensuring that your shopping experience with us is nothing short of delightful.
A quick note about our definition of Tiki. You will find in our shop many examples that fit into a traditional definition of Tiki. Other items in our shop extend beyond the traditional into a larger world view of collecting artifacts to curate your space. We define Tiki as escapism, and to that end whatever your space requires fits into the conversation around what Tiki is. Traditional Tiki is not whatever you want it to be, but your own Tiki inspired space can be. Enjoy and Mahalo!"
