17 Vibrant Summer Themes For Your Bullet Journal
Bullet Journal theme ideas can transform your journaling experience and add creativity to your pages, especially when summer rolls around!
Summer is that glorious time of year when the sun shines brighter, the days get longer, and creativity blossoms in full bloom. If you’re feeling the surge of inspiration that summer brings, why not let it spill onto your Bullet Journal pages?
From beach vibes to tropical florals, there are endless possibilities to capture the essence of Summer. Whether you’re a seasoned Bullet Journalist or a newbie, these vibrant Summer themes will infuse your journal with energy, color, and joy.
Summer is my favorite time of the year, and I always feel like it’s the time when things slow down a bit. I often find that it’s the best time to explore your creative side and double down on the creative aspect of your Bullet Journal.
In this blog post, I’ll share some other ideas you can try this season, but remember—anything can be a theme! It’s your journal, and it’s for you to decide what kind of theme you want to try.
If you want to do something Summer-themed, I have quite a few ideas for you. If you’re looking for something different, I also have ideas you might want to try.

Stationery Recommendations
Before we dive into all types of Summer themes to try in your Bullet Journal, let’s talk about supplies you need for creating an entire theme
It wouldn’t be me if I didn’t recommend something. So here are some of my top picks for Summer themed supplies:
- Fineliners. Always on my list since it’s the best pen for drawing and creating your Bullet Journal pages. I love Sakura Pigma Micron.
- Markers. If you want to add color, you’ll need those. For bright summer themes, I recommend Tombow Dual Brush Pens, and you can do some brush lettering with them as well.
- Ruler. Definitely useful for any page you decide to create. And as a bonus, you could use this stencil ruler to help you play around with different shapes.
- Adhesive. If you decide to get crafty and use kraft paper, you’ll need an adhesive to stick it to your pages. Tombow permanent adhesive is my top choice.
- Kraft paper. If you want to use kraft paper for your Summer pages, I’d recommend getting this notepad. Apart from everything else, it also has a dot grid. And you can get it 10% off with my code MASHA10.
With all the supplies at the ready, let’s dive in and find you a perfect Summer them idea!
Summer Themes For Your Bullet Journal
I gathered here 17 inspirations from different creators, so no matter what kind of idea you're looking for and what aesthetic you have, you'll surely find something that will inspire you.
So, let's dive in!
Start with this cozy theme. Just because Summer is not famous for its coziness doesn't mean we can't create something with that feeling in your Bullet Journal, and here is a wonderful example.
I love this creator. Their Bullet Journal always contains something original, beautiful, and detailed. Mixing the moon and flowers is such a lovely idea.
Now going back to a more traditional Summer heme- tropics. Because isn't that what Summer is all about, beautiful luscious green tropical forests and sandy beaches? If you want to go east with it, just doodling leaves can be a good solution.
Did you know that you don't have to come up with a theme idea? If you just use certain colors on your pages, it already creates a cohesive look and makes it a theme. For example, this spread is all about acid-yellow and green colors.
Ice cream is a perfect Summer theme, woldn't you agree? When does a cold school of ice cream taste better than on a hot summer day?
Flowers are a perfect theme for every month of the year, and these particular flowers have a fascinating and different kind of look.
If you're looking for a classic Summer theme, this one is the way to go. I basically thought of all the things I associate with Summer and decided to use these doodles to decorate the pages.
Galaxies are very fun to draw, and you can actually play with colors a lot as well. I like that this creator didn't just draw a galaxy but also added a galaxy effect to the lettering.
Summer is always the perfect time to enjoy fresh fruits, especially watermelons! So, it's a lovely theme idea, especially since watermelons are pretty easy to draw.
This cover page is absolutely stunning, and I think it's a lovely and pretty exciting theme idea. It really allows you to use some more scrapbook techniques to decorate your spreads.
June is my birthday month, so I like to choose something I enjoy as a theme for this month. And I really enjoy a good cup of tea. Thing of what you like and use that as your theme idea!
You can definitely go for something more aesthetic for your theme as well. Just add a few lines of color and use matching colors, and you'll have a good-looking theme like this one.
Under the Sea is a fun theme and perfect for Summer. I love how this theme can be interpreted in so many different ways! This creator went for a happy shark, and I'm so here for it!
Lemons are easy to draw; they have a beautiful bright yellow color, like the sun, and therefore they make a perfect theme for your summer months. It's bright, happy, and yet easy.
Roses always look amazing and elaborate, but they are actually easier to draw than you think. And they make a wonderful theme idea for any time of the year!
Makeup is one of my favorite themes! Doodling makeup items allows you to use any color and make it look however you want.
The final idea is to use washi tape to create a theme in your journal. You can use it to add some small accents, or maybe you can go crazy like I did and fill out all the empty spaces with washi tape patterns.
