January Bullet Journal Cover Page Ideas

Hello and welcome to January bullet journal cover page ideas!

(actually, it’ll be the entire year of ideas, but let’s keep it a secret for now! 😉 )

Now, I don’t know about you, but I love seeing other people’s bullet journals – I’ll assume we’re the same.

As you already know, you can easily spend countless hours browsing the web and feasting your eyes on all those creative and amazing spreads.

It’s no wonder – with so many beautiful and inspiring ideas, you simply can’t help yourself, right?!

And when it comes to variety, ingenuity, and style, the bullet journal monthly cover pages are on the very top of creative spreads (if not the most creative spreads) you can have in your bullet journal.

That’s why I’m declaring this year to be the year of monthly bullet journal cover page ideas.

(last year was the year of journaling prompts, and doodle challenges were the theme the year before – check them out if they’re something you’re interested in)

Just imagine the enormous amount of cover pages you’ll be able to browse around after the year is over – and they’re all in one place! Hey, even I’m excited about this! 😀

Now, since each month will have quite a number of cover page spreads, I’ll do my best to organize them in a way that’ll make it easy for you to jump to the section that interests you the most. 

(but I bet you’ll scroll through all of them nevertheless! 😉 )

Also, I’ve intentionally picked a variety of bullet journal cover pages so you can have many different designs and ideas to get inspiration from.

Because, to be honest, it’s great to see all those beautiful artistic cover spreads, but you feel like crap if you don’t have the time or the skills (or the nerves) to create something like that by yourself. 

Therefore, as you will see, there are attractive and creative bujo cover pages that you can use as an inspiration for your own spreads, which don’t require you to have the skills of world-famous painters to actually make them.

That’s all I wanted to say at this moment. (it turned out longer than I thought!)

So without further ado, let’s start the year as it should – with January bullet journal cover page ideas.

Bullet journal cover page ideas – January motifs

Since January is the first month of the year and for most of us is winter (sorry, southern hemisphere), it’s no wonder the vast majority of bullet journal cover pages follow along those lines.

Here are some examples.

Abstract January cover page ideas

These kinds of pages are perfect for bullet journal beginners since you don’t have to be a skilled artist – plus they don’t take too much time to create them.

This is truly a winning recipe for all of those who are just starting out or are at the moment short on time.

Minimalist January bullet journal cover page ideas

Ok, I admit, there are even more minimalist bujo cover spreads out there, but these have enough blank space to be considered as such – or appear simple enough. If you disagree, simply categorize them according to your own judgment. 😉 

Anyway, this group is another example of cover spreads you can make if you’re a bullet journal beginner. (and they’ll make you look like a pro!)

January bullet journal cover page ideas with a focus on lettering

If you’re not a fan of elaborative drawings, this is the right place for you.

All of these cover pages focus mainly on lettering, with more or less additional details on top of it. Therefore, if you’re better at writing than you are at drawing, this is something you might want to make in your own bullet journal.
