Let’s be honest, no matter how smart your phone is, there’s something satisfying about a big, beautiful calendar staring back at you with everything in one place. Whether you’re managing a family, juggling appointments, or just love seeing your month at a glance, keeping a calendar in the right spot can make all the difference.
Here are four of the best spots in your home to place a calendar so you never miss a beat.
1. At Your Desk – Stay Focused While You Work
Whether you work from home or just like to have a designated space for bills and emails, keeping a calendar at your desk is a must. It keeps deadlines front and center, helps you map out your week, and gives you a clear sense of what’s coming next — all without clicking through tabs.
✅ Best option: A desk pad calendar or a standing flip calendar
✅ Why it works: Glanceable and perfect for jotting notes throughout the day
2. The Kitchen – The Command Center of the Home
You know what they say — the kitchen is the heart of the home. That makes it the perfect place for a family calendar! Meal plans, soccer practice, birthday parties… everything ends up here. Put it on the fridge or a wall nearby so everyone’s in the loop.
✅ Best option: A magnetic calendar or a large wall calendar
✅ Why it works: Everyone in the household sees it every day
3. The Entryway or Mudroom – A Last-Minute Reminder Zone
Heading out the door? A calendar here can be your last checkpoint. Think reminders like "Trash day is tomorrow" or "Doctor’s appointment at 3!" It’s also a great place to keep track of seasonal tasks like car maintenance or school holidays.
✅ Best option: A dry erase wall calendar or hanging monthly calendar
✅ Why it works: You see it when you're coming and going
4. The Bedroom – Start and End Your Day with Intention
Keep a calendar on your nightstand or dresser to check what’s ahead in the morning — or reflect on your day at night. This is a great spot for personal planning, goal tracking, or jotting gratitude notes.
✅ Best option: A small monthly calendar or planner
✅ Why it works: Quiet space = personal planning time
✨ Final Tip: Let Your Calendar Work for You
No matter where you keep it, the right calendar helps you stay organized, reduce stress, and see your life clearly. That’s why all of our See It Bigger calendars feature large fonts and ample writing space — because planning should never be a struggle.
