We are back with one more blog post to help your family make the big push for Back To School! We have posted about creating a Command Central in the past, but wanted to remind you that this is the time of year to “revamp” that area of your home where all of the grab-and-go work and school items live.
Things to think about while working on your family’s command central are:
- The spot you choose should be easily accessible to your whole family … in our house it is on the hallway wall leading to the back door.
- The grab-and-go items that you may want to include in this space are (but are not limited to): backpacks, coats, jackets, hats, gloves, scarves, school papers, a calendar, umbrellas, some sports equipment, etc…
- There is no “one size fits all” to building your command center, but think about using what you have … such as: a cork board, coat rack, calendar, chair, cubbies, hooks, and even clipboards!
- Labeling a space for each child will actually help them remember to use it. As they walk by, just seeing their name will help develop the habit of utilizing the space for their grab-and-go storage.
- Keep it simple. Don’t store every jacket, coat and hat your whole family owns in this space. Just bring out the seasonally appropriate pieces. Keep the rest in the coat closet.

And, of course, if you find you need to start from “ground zero” on your family’s organization and want professional help, just reach out to us here at Styled & Organized!

I started organizing from a very early age. As a teenager, I tried very hard to have a messy room but only ended up having messy piles that were neatly arranged. Later in life, my friends started asking me to help them organize their closets, homes, garages, etc. It's something I love to do!
Now, I have started a Professional Organizing business to do what I love to do everyday and at the same time help people take control of their lives and spaces.
