These bullet journal monthly themes will surely add color and fun to your journal!
One great thing about bullet journals is that you can layout and design any spread however you want. But sometimes, uniformity is not that bad.
This is why most bullet journals come up with monthly themes.
Why create bullet journal monthly themes?
A bullet journal monthly theme allows you to incorporate the same elements, colors, designs, or font to your spreads for the month. This means you use it for the monthly cover page, the monthly spread, the weekly spread, your trackers, and anything you usually write in your BuJo.
It brings an element of consistency to your pages. Plus, you no longer have to feel pressured on how you design your pages – just go with a theme, and you are done for the whole month!
Another thing you’ll love about using a monthly theme is that it clearly divides your months. You can quickly tell what month you are viewing based on the design when you turn to a random page.
How to choose a bullet journal monthly theme
When choosing a theme, you can incorporate the seasons or holidays involved such as doing a hearts theme for February and an ice cream theme during summer.
However, your monthly theme does not always have to relate to the season or the holidays of the month.
You can totally go random based on what you feel, like doing a gold and black color theme or a coffee theme. After all, it’s your bullet journal! You can decide on any theme that you want!
