Sometimes color is better.

As someone who loves planners and enjoys expressing creativity through organizing, I’ve found that introducing color—especially rich shades like Bordeaux—really enhances the planning experience. While black and white layouts have a timeless elegance, adding a splash of color can help important dates or tasks stand out, making it easier to stay motivated and focused. Cloth & Paper’s collection of stickers and accessories in Bordeaux inspired me to experiment with colors beyond the typical monochrome. The merlot-red hues bring warmth and sophistication, making each page feel inviting and personalized. Using transparent stickers with bold colors adds layers and texture without overwhelming the clean look of the planner. In my week-to-week planning, I use color strategically—for example, marking priority tasks or appointments in Bordeaux stickers to make them instantly recognizable at a glance. This approach not only improves productivity but also makes daily planning a more enjoyable ritual. For those in the planner community or fans of Cloth & Paper, exploring colors like Bordeaux can refresh your planner style and keep your creative energy flowing. It’s a simple way to combine functionality with artistic expression, making your planner not just a tool but also a joy to use every day.
