6 Exciting Color Palettes to Use for Your Next Bullet Journal Spreads
If you’re anything like me, you’re the type of person who needs some decoration in their bullet journal or planner to entice them into actually using the dang thing.
The issue after that is the sheer amount of choice when it comes to decoration. What stickers should you use? Do you have washi tape that matches? What about markers and highlighters??
It can be tough to come up with a cohesive set of decoration for your bullet journal theme, especially when you’re short on time.
In this article, we’ll go through 6 color palettes using only a few sets of markers or highlighters and I’ll give you some options for decorative stickers that I know match those palettes to perfection. So let’s get some color palette choices going so we can get to what’s important: knocking those to-do’s off our list!
