2021 has begun, meaning that you might need some inspiration for your January spreads for 2021! If you’ve been stumped on what theme to start off the new year with, then you’ve came to the right place!
Since there are a handful of themes here, you’re bound to find a spread for you to take inspiration from!
If you’re planning to start a bullet journal, things such as this cheap bullet journal, this Micron Pen Set, and some highlighters to give an extra pop of color! Bullet journaling doesn’t require an expensive notebook with a bunch of colorful pens, you really only need the journal and pens. Though the highlighters will definitely help with the colors XD
Without further ado, let’s get started on these 37 January spreads for 2021! :

Blue is one of my favorite colors and with in a combo of ten ombre blue butterflies, it’s absolutely gorgeous! With little blue dots that sprinkled around the fluttering butterflies, what a cute cover page to start off a new bullet journal and a new year!

If you’re a fan of watercolor, and has a bullet journal with pages thick enough to not bleed, this dark watercolor sky is perfect with some extra flickers of white paint as stars! The gray, navy, and black hue blended together is *French kiss*

Some pastel hot air balloons with faded clouds in the background, you could even change the color theme of the balloons to fit your favorite colors! I would probably chose blue, black, and gray XD

With a faded gold border and a wonderful detail of those little vintage flower cut corners that added a little spice to the look. The centerpiece of those plants definitely tied well with those flowers~

A simple minimalistic cover spread with a calendar in the middle with a border and two maroon plants around it. The shiny gold line down each leaf really popped out and accentuated the maroon color :3

Even though we all shouldn’t be traveling in January of 2021, ice skating would’ve been a fun activity in the Winter. Nonetheless, with a miniature city, a handful of trees, and skating people, this is what we all hope to see in 2022 of January!

A black cover spread with a copper colored title and the crescent moon in a wide circle with little daisies, plants, and stars! I need to get myself this shiny copper marker asap XD

With only one gold marker, or frankly any colored markers, you could recreate this beautiful cover spread for your own bullet journal! Using lines and geometric shapes, this feels fancy.

Another black cover spread and like the above, only requires one gold marker for you to try your hand out at it! With lined and colored in fan flowers, it looks similar to some boujee wall paper XD

A star wreath around the star of the show, the title of January in this cover spread! It’s both simple and cute at the same time, even I, a not so good artist, can draw this out on my notebook!

The moon phases are drawn out so wonderfully in this cover spread with all those little stars connecting each phase and inside of each?! So cute! That extra little bouquet in the middle too? Gorgeous!

Fireworks have always been used to mark and celebrate the beginning of a new year. And this orange firework themed cover spread shows exactly that! I mean, look at those fireworks XD

I used to fold little origamis all the time and these hanging paper cranes and planes as a theme in a bullet journal sounds great to me!

Haikyuu lovers anyone? I added this in there because I have a friend who’s currently obsessed with it. So I had to add this black and white haikyuu characters January cover spread in here!

Fireworks in the dark night on a New Year’s Eve have always been one of the prettiest sights I’ve ever seen. So why not have that in the cover page to start off 2021?

Little string lightbulbs in all different kinds of shapes with decorative stars and lights! I love the crossover look of it and the way how the title of January fits perfectly in there :3

Aurora borealis is no doubt one of the sights I want to see for myself one day, and this little circle of wonderfully blended colors will have to suffice for now XD

Inspired by @amandarachlee, strings full of all sorts of red lanterns in various shapes which are usually hung up to celebrate the start of a whole new Year!

An old rustic TV with all types of games in the screen itself including cards, darts, and etc. With a simple January title right below, and little stars right above, this is so creative!

Oranges are one of the lucky fruits that are usually gifted in boxes to people as a means of celebrating the new year. And with all of the orange slices/oranges right in the middle of the cover spread, you’re sure to get lucky in 2021! XD

A black cover spread with a small calendar and blue diamond shaped crystals line separating the title and other floating crystals. It’s definitely giving me some fantasy vibes!

Some pale plum blossoms on thin branches with a pale mint moon! I very much love this combo/contrast between the pink and the mint between the flowers and the moon and those plaid washi tapes didn’t go unnoticed from me!

A watercolor blue & gray circle with miniature white constellations and title on the inside and line art flower decors surrounding its border 🙂

I love those baby blue stamped January title and those constellations floating all around it? If you can’t tell from all of these January spreads, I tend to obsess over these star/moon related spreads XD Just like these 25 galaxy and space themed bujo spreads!

Inuyasha is a classic that though I still haven’t found time to watch it, without a doubt it’s on my anime watch list XD And just like Kaikyuu, with a page of characters at the right and a simple January title at the left~

All filled with yellow lined stars and constellations and a petit calendar written in the middle of the page. The extra navy page ripped to fit in the page really added an extra texture/layering to the spread!

Even though its the year of the ox this year around for 2021, last year was the year of the mouse! And I love all the details in this spread, the firecrackers, fireworks, red envelopes and etc <3
Source : @feather.eaux
