Post and everyday clutter were slowly taking over our kitchen until I set up this simple family command centre

Command centre with chalk board with hexagon cork board.

Our kitchen is barely finished, and yet somehow, almost overnight, we've slipped straight back into old habits. Letters, school forms, random bits of paper, and important things we *mustn't* forget about have started migrating to the corner of the island. One letter becomes a stack pretty quickly, and suddenly, the heart of our brand-new kitchen looks constantly cluttered.

Enter the family command centre. A small but mighty setup that's already stopping post from piling up and helping us feel far more organised day to day. I opted for a wall-based system (namely, this notice board set, £29.99 from Amazon), to pin things up as opposed collect them on another surface.
