        Navigating through busy schedules, work, and daily tasks can be an exhausting endeavour for any individual, but balancing these different duties within a family can cause clashing opinions, disorganisation, and overlapping events. Save yourself the stress and anxiety by putting together a family command centre to keep yourself organised and prepared for any circumstance. 

        Identify Your Design Style

        Every command centre will look different depending on your family’s needs, but in order to let it flow with the rest of your home, you want it to fit seamlessly into your interior design. Function meets style when putting together your family’s headquarters, so keep the aesthetic in mind when choosing the items needed for the space.

        For a Scandinavian home, for example, focus on keeping the colour palette as neutral as possible with light wood tones and bright white backgrounds. You can use a white desk with clean lines and a simple frame and complement it with a light brown corkboard, a simple white calendar, and a hanging plant to add some warmth.

        Pro Tip: A creative way to punch up pzazz to your space would be to incorporate a chair cover with a custom print to fit the theme while keeping your furniture in tip-top shape.

        The Essentials

        Once you have decided on the right design style, you can start putting together the items needed to make your family’s command centre as efficient as possible. What accessories do you need to keep yourself and your family organised, relaxed, and productive?

        A planner or calendar will allow you to keep track of your family’s scheduled events, and keeping it displayed will be a helpful reminder each time you pass by. Floating shelves are a great way to keep your files and miscellaneous items organised without adding any clutter to the space. A chalkboard can be a fun way to keep your family updated with memos, dinner plans, and even daily affirmations to keep them inspired all day.

        Where Will it Be?

        You will need to pick the perfect spot for your command centre, or else it will never be utilised. Find an area that serves as a nook small enough to promote productivity but not so small that it gets overlooked. 

        The size could depend on how many members of the home there are and how much storage you need. It would be more effective to have the centre in a high traffic zone, like near the front door, by the stairs, or in the dining room. While you’re there, leave a reminder for yourself to throw on your new dining set cover before bed.

        Make it Smart

        Sometimes the best way to stay on top of your daily tasks is to incorporate a smart device into your command centre to alert you of any upcoming events or important memos. There are various options on the market to achieve this hands-free technology – it all depends on your preference.

        You can also use a smart tablet mounted on your wall to easily access your calendar, reminders, weather, music, and much more. Having it all connected to one device reduces the amount of space needed to achieve the same result. 

        Off the Hook

        Having a set of hooks on the wall is a great way to keep your essential items like keys, umbrellas, and jackets organised. Nothing is worse than running late for an event and being unable to locate your car keys. 

        Hooks are a quick and easy way to both take advantage of the vertical space offered by the wall of your command centre and add some style without a lot of heavy lifting. They also reduce clutter and give you peace of mind knowing where the items are when you need them.

        Explore How to Store

        Proper storage is essential when building the best command centre. Loose paperwork and scattered tools can quickly clutter up the space and get lost in the mess. Utilising products like baskets, drawers, binders, and bins will allow you to easily access all of your necessary information without being overwhelmed by the amount of stuff piling up.

        You can reduce the pile up with simple organisational hacks. Get innovative with your organisation if it begins to overwhelm your family. Clear vinyl tarp curtains with slots make accessibility a breeze and allow you to sort documents and more. 

        Live Laugh Label

        Now that you have decluttered all of your stationery and office supplies, you will need to label all of your storage items in order to keep track of where everything is placed. This will also allow the rest of the family to easily understand the system of the command centre and find whatever they need to stay productive during the day.

        If you want to go the extra mile, you can even colour-code your labels to group the items within them into individual categories. Do what fits best with you and your family’s routine and process. 

        Keep It Clean

        If you want your command centre to function properly, you will need to keep the area free of any trash or mess. Take about 10 minutes a day to declutter the spot and keep it in tip-top shape for when it’s needed. Remove any crumpled receipts, old mail, food wrappers, cups, and anything that is messing with the productivity in the environment. 

        Family Meeting

        There’s a level of importance to being on the same page. Whether you pull off your firewood covers and share that time around the firepit in your outdoor living area or around the kitchen table, take time to enjoy your family’s pursuits and happiness together.
