In this January 2026 bullet journal setup, I’m kicking off the new year with a Chinese New Year–inspired theme that feels festive but still super cozy and minimal. I lean into warm reds, little gold accents, and elegant details that make the whole spread feel intentional without being too busy. Chinese New Year is all about new beginnings and inviting good luck, so it felt like the perfect energy for my first monthly setup of the year. I walk you through my layout choices and how I build layered designs using Kiss Cut PET tape from The Washi Tape Shop—this is one of my favorite ways to add depth fast, especially when I want something decorative but still clean. If you’re looking for calm bullet journal inspiration, easy layering ideas, and a theme that ties “new year, new goals” together in a meaningful way, this setup is meant to feel doable and cozy from start to finish. I also share the discount codes and links I use for my go-to stationery shops so you can recreate the vibe with your own supplies.
