Impossible standards suck. We’re so used to being beaten down with art and media that reinforce unrealistic beauty norms… it might be time to flip the world on its head and turn your home into a beautifully-decorated safe haven for body positivity instead. It doesn’t matter what your decor style is: Radical self-love goes with everything.

These prints are a great reminder that all bodies are great bodies—including people of all shapes, sizes, colors, gender identities and levels of hairiness, as well as people with disabilities. And the very best part is the purpose they add to your home base.
