Non-Halloween October Bullet Journal Themes
Just because this is a spooky month, it doesn't mean you have to be spooky in your journal as well! So, let's explore some other ideas.
And if you do want to get spooky, check out more resources at the end of the post with tons of Halloween inspirations for your Bullet Journal.
I am starting on this beautiful pastel computer desktop type of theme. I love how something so mundane as a desktop can look so pretty! And the best part is that you get to play around with the colors as much as you want.
Fall is probably the most common theme for these months but for a good reason! And this take on the theme is very different.
I like that the creator added a person here; you can show so much emotion that way! Plus, it's a great idea for drawing some Fall fashion.
Books are a perfect theme to do any month, but reading books on chill October nights with a cozy blanket and a hot cup of coffee has soemthing special to it.
Plus, books are very easy to doodle and customize with different patterns and colors, adding a lot of variety to your doodles.
This might not be what you'd expect from your usual Fall theme, but I think it's a creative way to step out of the box! Such a bright and cheerful theme to celebrate a very bright and colorful month.
This is such a fun theme, and there are so many ways you can approach it! I, for one, love this retro style with beautiful colors and a hint of botanical doodles.
It might not be the name of the theme Natasha used, but that's how I would define it. It has those retro vibes to it with music sheets and an old photo. And with different types of paper and other elements added on top, it makes me think of scrapbooking.
I believe these two things match very well, and this theme is absolutely unique!
I know the left side is saying Happy Halloween, but the cover page is all about lightbulbs, so that's how we shall call this theme.
It's super easy to draw, looks very aesthetic, and there are many varieties of shapes of lightbulbs to make it look different if you want to.
Flowers aren't just a Spring theme; you can use them in your Bullet Journal all year long! And there are so many different ways you can incorporate this theme into your pages.
I love that this one has so much kraft paper and almost feels like a mosaic of sorts.
With Fall in full swing in October, of course, a hot drink is a welcome treat. So why not bring your love for hot beverages to your Bullet Journal pages?
I like how Shelby just drew simple cups, and it represented the theme so perfectly.
No bad month to try out a space theme! And I absolutely love this fun and creative take on it with planets being balloons for this brave little astronaut.
If you're a Harry Potter fan, October could definitely be a month to bring your love for this franchise to your Bullet Journal pages.
I don't know why, but somehow, Fall and Christmas are the seasons that are associated the most for me with the wizarding world.
Do you like Studio Ghibli movies? I'm absolutely in love with them and the beautiful artwork in them (just look at my right tattoo sleeve, which is basically Studio Ghibli tattoos only!).
So, of course, I had to include this idea here, especially since it looks stunning and I love that the creator still added a little bit of the season to it.
It might not be a latte in that cup, but when you see a coffee cup with a pumpkin on it, isn't it what you're thinking about right away?
I love how simple and stylish this cover page looks!
I'm horrible at giving names to themes, but I feel like this mix of whales and clouds is perfectly described by words "sky whale". if you have a better way to name this beautiful theme leave them in the comments!
I know, generally, Fall is all about coffee, but a good hot cup of tea is just as nice in that chilly season. This monthly log is a perfect example of an aesthetic way to present the tea theme in your Bullet Journal.

Stationery Recommendations
Anything you already have in your supplies collection can be used to create a stunning Bullet Journal theme! But if you’re looking for some recommendations on what else you might want to get, I’ve got you covered.
Here are some of my favorite supplies:
- Sakura Pigma Micron – a good set of fineliners will bring your Bullet Journal to the next level, and these are amazing! The quality is high, and the ink is smooth and archival. Plus, they come in different nib sizes, allowing you a bigger variety in your lines.
- Tombow Fude Brush Pen – I always say these are the best pens to start with brush lettering and the ones you’ll probably end up using the most. They are just the right size for smaller headers, like ones for daily and weekly spreads. Plus, they are great for drawing as well.
- Crayola Super Tips – if you want to add color to your Bullet Journal, these are some of the best pens you can use. They come in an insane amount of colors and are very affordable. Plus, you can also use them for brush lettering!
