The Best Aesthetic Supplies for a More Enjoyable Writing Experience
Aesthetic writing supplies are more than practical tools; they can also serve as a source of inspiration, creativity, and self-expression. From fountain pens and calligraphy sets to decorative notebooks and colored pens, there are a wide range of options available to elevate your writing experience.
Writing is an act of creativity and I find I am more inspired to write if I love the pen I am writing with or if my notebooks have pretty covers. Something about the poetry of crisp letters on a blank page calls out to me, but I also love the charming touch fountain pens, stationary, and wax seals add to the writing experience.
Aesthetic Supplies Writing to Enhance your Writing Experience
Whether you are a seasoned or beginner writer, student, or just enjoy journaling, these aesthetic writing supplies can help you create a unique and visually pleasing written work, as well as make your writing space into a place you enjoy coming back to again and again.
1. Fountain Pens

Fountain pens are elegant and timeless writing instrument that can add a touch of sophistication to your writing. Look for a pen with a beautiful design, such as a vintage-style barrel or an elegant nib.
2. Calligraphy Set

If you are interested in calligraphy, a calligraphy set is a must-have. Calligraphy sets usually include a calligraphy pen, several nibs and ink cartridges or ink bottles. Look for a set that comes in an attractive case or box, so you can store it easily when not in use.
3. Decorative Notebooks

A beautiful notebook is a pleasure to write in and something that can be kept for years after it is filled. Look for a notebook with a unique cover design, such as floral patterns, geometric shapes, or abstract art. You can also find notebooks with pastel or embossed covers, gilded edges, or leather flaps.
4. Colored Pens
Left to right: Pastel Pens. Bold Aesthetic Pens. Box Highlighters. Retractable Pens.
I experimented with writing in different colors and, although I prefer blue or black, it is fun to grab a pack of colored pens and alternate colors as you write a poem. Look for a set of colored pens that come in a range of hues, from soft pastels to bold, bright shades. Gel pens and brush pens are popular choices for adding a pop of color to your writing, especially if you are journaling.
5. Washi Tape

Washi tape is a decorative tape that is used to add a pop of color or pattern to your notebooks or planner. Look for a set of washi tape rolls with different designs, such as polka dots, stripes, or florals.
6. Wax Seals
Left to right: Bee Wax Seal Stamp. Gold Wax Sealing Sticks.
If you want to add a touch of old-world charm to your writing, consider using a wax seal. Look for a wax seal kit that includes a seal stamp, wax sticks, and a melting spoon. You can use the seal to close letters, envelopes, or gift packages.
7. Embellishments
Left to right: Aesthetic Stickers. Vintage Stamp Stickers.
You can also add a touch of charm to your writing with embellishments like stickers, charms, or stamps. Look for embellishments that match your personal style or the theme of your writing project. Although I often doodle in the margins of my notebooks, you might choose botanical stickers for nature-inspired writing or vintage stamps for old-fashioned letters.
8. Pretty Stationary

A stationary set is a wonderful thing to have on hand as nothing is sweeter than sending a handwritten card or a note in a matching envelope!
9. Cute Accessory Cases

Carry cases make it easier to transport your favorite writing supplies to the park, to the beach, or just to your favorite coffee shop.
10. Aesthetic Planners

A planner is a fabulous way to stay on top of your monthly goals, track your social and other commitments, and keep tabs on what you would like to accomplish writing-wise in any given month.

I do have a fountain pen quill pen, I really should pull it out of storage and I can’t do anything without my planner. However, I try and stay away from pretty notebooks these days. I have scribbly writing and I tend to hoard said notebooks rather than “ruin” them with my writing.
