If there is one thing bullet journalers love it’s picking, designing, and creating a theme every month for their spreads. Bullet journal themes give you a uniform look throughout the month and are super fun to design. If you need some bullet journal inspiration for your bullet journal setup you’ve come to the right place.
It’s not uncommon to go to pick a theme and have your mind go completely blank. This is why I have created a comprehensive list complete with examples to some super popular themes that you can use throughout the year.
Coming Up With Bullet Journal Themes
I want to discuss how to come up with different themes. First thing to take into account is your skill set. Are you capable of drawing Hogwarts? If not you may want to wait and practice that until you are capable of the project.
Once you figure out where your skill set is you can more easily pick a theme. Remember you will not always be at a lower skill set. With practice you will improve and be able to do more with your bullet journal.
You can try writing down all your favorite TV shows, books, and movies. After that add favorite flowers, nature scenes that inspire you, activities you love, and any hobbies you have. Before you know it you will have a list of your own themes to choose from.
Once you have your bullet journal themes grab a drawing pad notebook and start practicing doodles and drawing things that match that theme. By practicing your theme and drawing them out you can reference those sketches and drawings when you go to add them to your bullet journal later.
Before we get started here is a list of my recommended supplies.
Recommended ProductsFrom time to time the Scribbles that Matter Journal is sold out on Amazon. When this happens third party sellers will try to sell the journal for an insane amount of money. DO NOT BUY THAT! Scribbles that Matter should be back in stock soon. My second favorite journal is the Essentials Dot Matrix, though I warn you the pages on this one are thinner and bleeding and shadows show up on opposite sides. However, it's a decent cheap journal if you are in a pinch and just want to get started.

By now your brain is probably flowing with all sorts of bullet journal themes you can use. This is not an exhaustive list of themes by any means but it’s a great starting ground. Remember if you are unsure about your capabilities it’s ok to go with a minimalist theme while you practice in a separate notebook or drawing pad.
