How to Get Your Home Photo-Ready
Great photography is one of the most powerful tools when selling your home. In a competitive market, your property needs to shine from the very first image and a little preparation before our professional photographer arrives can make all the difference. Here are our top tips for helping your home look its very best on camera.
Start with Kerb Appeal - Your exterior sets the tone. Move cars off the driveway, hide bins, close garage doors and give windows a good clean.
A quick tidy of the front garden, mowing the lawn, trimming hedges, and removing old pots creates an instantly welcoming first impression.
Prepare Your Outdoor Spaces - Gardens often top buyers’ wishlists. Keep lawns neat, clean decking and patios, and set out seating areas so your outdoor space feels purposeful and inviting. Simple styling goes a long way.
Style the Bedrooms - Remove stickers from doors, clear away toys and personal clutter, and make the beds look crisp and inviting. Plump cushions, straighten throws, and tuck away anything that makes the room feel busy or tired.
Freshen Up Bathrooms - Bathrooms look best when they’re bright and minimal. Close toilet seats, polish mirrors, and clear away toiletries. A tidy, spotless bathroom photographs beautifully and suggests good maintenance.
Simplify the Kitchen - Clear worktops and keep only the essentials visible. This helps the space appear larger and more functional. Kitchens sell houses, so let this room feel open, inviting, and full of possibility.
Remove Electronic Distractions - Switch off TVs and screens and move chargers and gadgets out of shot. Clean, calm images keep the focus where it should be on your home.
Let Natural Light Lead - Open blinds and curtains fully to maximise brightness. Natural light instantly lifts a room and helps your photographer capture warm, authentic images.
Give Pets the Day Off - As adorable as they are, it’s best for pets (and their toys, bowls and beds) to be out of sight for photography. It helps buyers focus on the space not who lives there.
