'It's Okay to Not Be Okay' Print, A4/A5 | Wilde Road

Size:
In stock
Sale price$19.00

A few honest words, framed and on the wall, can shift how a space feels. The 'It's okay to not be okay' print is part of the Wilde Road series by New Zealand artist Lisa Buscomb, a collection of original words and gentle daily reminders. It is a soft permission slip for the harder days, a quiet bit of self-compassion that suits a bedroom, a reading nook, or anywhere you pause and reset. Printed here in New Zealand on 280gsm textured matte stock, it has a calm, neutral finish that settles into a coastal, Scandi-leaning home and sits beautifully within a wider wall art display.

Each piece is supplied unframed and sealed in a clear sleeve with a backing board, so it arrives flat and ready to frame in your own style. It pairs naturally with the rest of our Wilde Road collection if you are building a small, meaningful corner of the home.

Not sure which size or how to arrange a few together? We are always happy to help. Email us a photo of your bare wall with a couple of measurements, and we can superimpose the prints to help you picture the final look before you commit.

Styling Tips

Hang 'It's okay to not be okay' above a bedside table or dresser for a soft, grounding focal point, or group it with two or three other Wilde Road prints for a layered gallery wall. In a smaller nook, lean the A5 against the wall on a shelf alongside a candle and a small ceramic for an easy, collected look. Stick to a consistent frame finish across a grouping to keep things feeling intentional rather than busy.

It also makes a thoughtful, low-fuss gift. The message suits a friend navigating a hard season or anyone in need of a little softness, which makes it a kind wellness gift paired with a candle or one of the Wilde Road books for a finished set that feels personal without being over the top.

It is supplied unframed in a protective sleeve with a backing board, designed for personal use, and forms part of a wider series of words and daily reminders that pair naturally with other Wilde Road prints and books.
