Amazing Command Center Ideas to keep your family organized.

I am a huge fan of “command centers”. They are a great way to keep a family organized, and each command center can be created to offer exactly what a family needs: maybe it’s a calendar to keep track of the kids’ school activities and sporting events, maybe you need a place to jot down menu ideas for the week, or perhaps you want a drop-zone for keys and mail. I have a simple command center in my office space, which includes a white board calendar and a wire organizer to keep paper clutter under control.

While this serves my needs, there are so many other options out there; whether you want to create a family command center in your mudroom, hallway, kitchen, or office. Take a look at these amazing command center ideas to keep your home organized.

Family Command Center Ideas

Farmhouse Style Command Center

This is such a cohesive command center with so many different elements. My favorite part is the use of wood throughout the display… and the clipboards at the bottom are perfect for switching out daily, weekly, and monthly printables to keep things organized.

This command center idea comes from Little Yellow Wheelbarrow. The command center is cohesive with the use of a wood-framed chalkboard, metal-style envelopes, and several clipboards.

Entry Command Center

This cute command center utilizes a small shuttered cabinet to anchor the space (and provide storage). My favorite feature is the wood-framed magnetic board that uses clothespins for magnets. Perfect for keeping track of tickets for a concert or reminders for the day.

This command center idea come from Sand Dollar Lane and features a wood framed chalkboard, metal-style envelopes, and incorporates the use of a small shuttered table to display an old window and various knick-knacks.

Modern Family Command Center

This command center really stands out with its dark background (which are actually Peel & Stick Chalkboard Panels). I love how the acrylic calendar blends in, but the leather pouch, shopping list and gold accents pop against the black.

This simple command center would be perfect in an office. I love the small card catalog style cubbies for storing small items such as paperclips.

This command center idea comes from The Small Things and features a chalkboard with small clips and a paper calendar. Below the command center is a small card catalog style display which could serve to hold various items.

Homework Station

This family command center could definitely double as a homework space with the use of the table and baskets. My favorite feature is the tiered wooden cubbies that allow for the storage of books and magazines… so much better than having them scattered on the kitchen table.

This command center was created by The House of Wood and features a large chalkboard calendar with clocks displaying the time in various time zones. It also has a three-tiered wooden bin to allow for books and magazines to be displayed.

DIY Chalkboard Command Center

I love that this command center is fully contained on a wood framed DIY magnetic chalkboard so it takes up less space and can be moved to a different location if needed. My favorite feature is the DIY Wood Magnets used to create a weekly calendar.

This simple command center has everything you need with wire baskets for paperwork, clipboards for menu-planning and to-do lists, and a cute monthly calendar.

This command center idea is from Lovely Etc and utilizes blue clipboards for menu planning, a chalkboard calendar, and wire baskets to hold mail and other papers.

Mudroom Command Center

This command center would work wonderfully in an entry or mudroom. I love the addition of small hooks for keys and purses.

This command center from The Crafting Chicks is a great drop-zone with hooks for keys and purses along with small wire baskets for mails and other items.

Hallway Command Center

This command center is so perfect as we head back to school. I love how the clipboards are used here; with some displaying chore charts and others for homework.

Houseful of Handmade creates a great command center featuring a monthly calendar, a weekly menu plan. and several clipboards for various paperwork; all on a chalkboard background.
