Want to make your Notion layout more aesthetically pleasing? Well, there are several ways to approach this with block arrangement and images, but the most transformative is a change of icons. Notion's pizzaz is in its stylish integration of emojis. Sure, there are rival tools that provide relatively the same functions. They don't look nearly as nice though and aren't nearly as customizable. Here are 17 icon sets that I use for my pages. Remember, before using any of these icons for commercial use you must credit the author. I include author links below each.
Next, let's talk about how to apply the icons.
What you're going to do is download the icons you desire and place them in a folder → Select Add Icon above page header in Notion (an emoji will appear) → Click it and select Upload an Image → Select desired icon → Viola!
