The Be Grateful Wall Paper collection takes you on a journey through different landscapes and cultures.
The pattern of "Karaba" revisits the desert areas of Kenya with warm colours and metallic details. Karaba is a town in Kenya that is home to the wonders of the Chalbi, a small desert of oases and dunes located in the northern part of the state, near the border with Ethiopia.
The Chalbi is a resource of vast proportions: it covers about 100,000 square kilometres, between the slopes of Mount Kulal and the Huri hills towards the Ethiopian side, not far from the semi-arid areas of Lake Turkana. 'Chalbi' is a word of the Gabbra nomadic people meaning 'salt lake' and its oases.
Its sudden 'salt lakes' are among the most amazing natural beauties to behold. All this, surrounded by dunes and extinct volcanoes, alternating rugged rocks with sandy bottoms, in an iridescent harmony that is not as lifeless as it might appear.
A great expanse of cracked land that has remained unchanged for millennia after the drying up of a huge landlocked sea, of which Turkana is today the only evidence, the largest permanent lake in a desert location and the world' s largest alkaline lake.

WALLPAPER LAYING
-Check that the paper rolls are not damaged and that the designs and colourings are correct. -Remove the plates of the electrical switches and sockets. -Remove the skirting board and coping (frame-covers) of doors and windows. -Draw, in the blind corner (behind the door), reference marks on the wall. Using a tape measure, draw a smaller width (3-5 cm) of the sheet on the wall, making several marks starting from the top downwards. Lower the plumb-line and make marks on the wall. Measure the height of the wall. Check for pattern repetition, then cut the lengths according to wall height, leaving an excess of 5-8 cm, at the top and bottom, for trimming. -Use roller to evenly apply WallPaper Paste, unthinned, to a portion of the surface equal in width to the sheet of WallPaper. -Use a brush to apply the adhesive to bond the WallPaper Paste, working from the centre towards the outside of the sheet. Make sure the adhesive is well distributed around the edges, but avoid it coming into contact with the side of the paper that has the pattern. In they accidentally come into contact, use a damp sponge to clean and remove the adhesive immediately, then dry with a white cotton cloth. -Lay the sheet onto the surface to cover, positioning it correctly according to the marks and drawing. Use a plastic wallpaper spatula to pass over the paper again to release any trapped air. Promptly remove any spills/excess of adhesive! Continue until the surface to cover is completed. -Drying time: about 24 hours depending on the type of substrate, its absorption rate, and environmental conditions.
