Sometimes the best life advice is also the laziest. Lower Your Standards captures a blissfully chilled koala nestled in a plush, leafy beanbag, tea in paw, houseplants all around, and a glowing neon sign offering some honest direction: “Step 1: Nap. Step 2: Lower your standards.” It’s cozy, candid, and crafted to bring a smile—especially when you’re doing absolutely nothing.

Printed on premium metal for vivid color and sharp detail, this artwork is perfect for offices, reading nooks, dorms, or any corner of the home that embraces anti-motivational wisdom. Equal parts calm and comedy, it’s a gentle reminder that sometimes, less is bliss.
