Bullet Journal Key Ideas
To boost your creative juices, Iโve gathered here some amazing key designs.
There are many different designs you can use for your key, and I personally always find it difficult to decide which one to do.
Hopefully, these pages will give you some ideas.
Flowers always are a great choice, and this one is no exception. The tropical leaves make it look even more summer-like.
Beautiful key page, and I always love using kraft paper in my Bullet Journal.
My go-to source for kraft paper would be an Archer and Olive Notepad since it also has a dot grid, and itโs very easy to keep things straight. And you can get one withย 10% offย if you use my codeย MASHA10.
An amazing example of how a simple black and white page can look absolutely gorgeous.
This is probably my preferred style for the basic pages like the key spread. I like to keep it kind of neutral.
Another beautiful key with perfect handwriting. This time the color coding divides it by areas of life: work, social, and pet.
I know I said I preferred to go neutral with my yearly pages, but that year was different, and I went super colorful instead.
Another way you can create a key like this is by adding it to the page with washi tape so that way when you need some changes made; you can just unstick it and add a new one.
If youโre looking for something magical, this is a good inspiration. It also shows you that you can use any theme you want for your key spreads.
I love this one; it's simple but very powerful. It's also fun to use these stencils to add fun patterns to decorate the spread!
Love the watercolor in the background and the beautiful sunset colors.
Also, the contrast between the colors and the dark black looks great.
Flowers are incredible at decorating any page, and the key is no exception. I also really like that next to the key you have a grid guide; it's also such a useful page!
Simple adds to design like a hollow font, and a few drawings of leaves can make a page look so pretty.
I love this page, it's so neat, and the handwriting is amazing. But it also has this pop of color and decorations. It just looks perfect!
Iโm so in love with this effect of color splashes.
Iโm wondering how this was achieved while the keys and the letters stay white.
I love this spread; the colors are so bright and happy looking! The theme of it being computer folders is also a very fun idea.
Itโs a beautiful key page, and mandalas are always a classy and beautiful way to decorate your Bullet Journal.
Again a very beautiful contrast between the bright yellow and the thick black.
I love how much character the little details add, like the grey shadows and the thin outlines.
I love these messy splashes of watercolor; almost like it's raining on this page. There is a unique beauty in this style!
I absolutely adore this spread, the flowers look incredible, and there is still enough space for the detailed key and color coding as well.
