At Alex & Matteo Estate Agents, we know that first impressions count. That’s why we’re here to help you prepare your property to achieve the best photographs possible when putting it up for sale or rent. By following these simple tips, you can showcase your property in the best possible light and attract potential buyers or renters.
The first step to preparing any room for photographs is to declutter, clean and depersonalise. Remove any personal items such as family photos, artwork, and clutter to make the space look clean and spacious. A clutter-free living room will not only look more attractive in photographs, but it will also help potential buyers or renters envision themselves in the space.
Arrange your furniture in a way that makes the living room look spacious and inviting. Consider the flow of the room and ensure that furniture is positioned in a way that allows for easy movement throughout the space. Avoid pushing furniture against the walls, as this can make the room look smaller.
Natural light is essential for creating bright and inviting photos. Open curtains and blinds to let in as much natural light as possible. If your property doesn’t get much natural light, consider investing in some artificial lighting to brighten up your space.
Staging your home can make a significant difference in the way your property is perceived. Arrange furniture in a way that creates a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Add some fresh flowers, throw pillows, or artwork to add some character and make your property look more appealing.
Small details such as scuffs on walls, chipped paint, or dirty windows can detract from the overall appeal of your property. Take the time to address these minor issues before taking photos to ensure that your property looks its best.
Highlight the best features of your property by taking photos that showcase them. For example, if you have a beautiful fireplace, take a photo of it as the focal point. Similarly, if you have a spacious kitchen, take a photo that shows off the counter space and appliances.
A well-maintained garden or balcony can greatly enhance the value of your property. Trim back any overgrown shrubs or trees and ensure that the lawn is neatly mowed. Consider adding some colourful flowers or potted plants to add some life to the space.
