17 Swoon-Worthy Home Command Centers

Below: Home command centers will help you get and keep your family organized, but you have to put some thought into what you really need in your family command center before you set it up. These 17 swoon-worthy examples will give you tons of inspiration.

Four years ago I decided the giant bare wall in my kitchen needed a little TLC. I don’t remember if we had anything hanging on it, but I don’t think we did. It was just a big, blank, unused space.

Life was crazy with three young kids, so I decided to create a home command center to get organized. I did some research and put a lot of thought into what I needed and what I would actually use. Once I decided on the aspects I wanted to include, I rounded up old picture frames from around the house and from Goodwill, painted everything in a few different colors, grabbed a hammer, and hung everything up.

Since then, a few sections have been replaced, but it’s still there and going strong. The part I find the most helpful is the two month’s worth of calendars. My oldest likes the meal plan section because he always likes to know what we’re having for supper. The bottom section started out with chore and behavior charts, then changed to Notes for the Kids, but will soon change again to a cute wall organizer I found from Hobby Lobby. One of my constant battles is paper piles on the counter, so I’m hoping the bins will give us a more organized storage space.

If you’ve been thinking of creating a home command center for your family, I highly recommend giving careful thought to what your major sources of disorganization (and stress) are and how a command center can help with those areas.

Look through the command centers I’ve rounded up for you, jot down ideas you love, ignore the parts you know wouldn’t help you, then plan your own custom center. It might become your favorite spot in the house!
