STAK Holiday Declutter Guide

The holiday season often leaves behind more than just good memories. It leaves boxes of decorations, a home rearranged for guests, and a guest room that looks like a temporary storage locker. The clutter can overshadow the joy.

This year, experience the season differently. At STAK, we provide the premium, flexible space that lets you celebrate without the clutter. Here’s how to use your STAK perks to create a more spacious, peaceful holiday—both in your home and in your mind.

 

STAK Your Workspace to Declutter Your Home

The most powerful declutter tool might be your STAK membership. Before the holidays descend, move your work out of the house and into your dedicated STAK office or flex desk. This simple shift accomplishes two things instantly: it frees up an entire room or defined area in your home, and it creates a mental separation between daily tasks and seasonal magic.

That newly liberated space becomes your holiday command center—a dedicated spot for wrapping gifts, staging decorations, or simply providing a quiet retreat from the festivities. It’s the ultimate application of our core principle: the right space for the right purpose. Your home is for living and celebrating. Let STAK be for work.

 

STAK Your Gathering to Reclaim Your Sanctuary

Hosting a holiday party is an act of generosity. The week of preparation and the day-of chaos, however, can feel like a tax on your peace. This is where a STAK event venue becomes your greatest holiday perk.

Instead of pushing your furniture against the walls and turning your living room into a public venue, host your team celebration, client appreciation event, or friends-and-family party in a space designed for it. Our venues, from the sophisticated 39th Floor Lounge to the dynamic full-floor event spaces, are turnkey. They come equipped, staffed, and ready for your celebration.

The benefit is profound: you enjoy the party as a guest, not a facilities manager. When the event ends, you close the door and go home to a clean, quiet, and undisturbed sanctuary. The memory is preserved; the mess and the massive cleanup are not. This is intelligent hosting.

 

STAK Your Guest Room (By Not Needing One)

One of the biggest holiday clutter challenges is the guest room. It often becomes a dumping ground for displaced items from other rooms and a cramped space for visitors.

Offer your guests an upgrade. STAK’s ecosystem includes luxury apartments at 1900 Broadway, available with member perks. Instead of converting your office into a makeshift bedroom, provide your guests with their own elegant, private space just moments away. Your home retains its order and function, and your guests enjoy a true five-star experience. It’s the most gracious way to declutter your hospitality.

 

STAK Your Post-Holiday Reset

The final, crucial step is the reset. In our spaces, every event is followed by a professional restoration to a state of perfect order. Adopt this discipline at home.

As you pack away the season, be strategic. Toss what’s broken. Donate what you no longer love. For the rest, ask a simple question inspired by our efficient use of space: “Does this item earn its keep in my home for the next eleven months?”

By using STAK spaces for work, events, and guest stays, you prevent clutter from ever entering your home in the first place. That is the ultimate perk. It’s a holistic approach to space—leveraging flexible, premium environments for specific needs so your primary residence can remain what it was meant to be: a personal sanctuary of calm and order, in every season.
