Making The House Photoshoot Ready

Photoshoot Ready

All spotlights are on your house for a photo shoot that will make it an instant star. Like a celebrity, it will mesmerize people and possibly have a fan base from whom will emerge a possible owner soon. But is your house ready when the camera starts focusing on its beauty? Will natural beauty be captured? If your home is soon to be an object of a photo shoot for a marketing effort, then these are some things you should follow.

Brighten up the house.
Photos always look best when the light is excellent. The house should receive as much light as it can. With this, all interior lights should be turned on while allowing natural light from the outside to enter. Do this by opening doors, blinds, curtains, and drapes.
Refresh the house. Imbibe freshness on the house. Make it as clean as possible. If necessary, apply new paint on surfaces needing them. Check for some peelings or chippings on walls and repaint them at once.
Lose your identity in the house.
Unless you’re preparing your home for a feature that will tell your story, personalizing it with pictures and other things will do just fine. But if the photo shoot is to sell your house, remove things that will give it your identity. Photographs, calendars, boards, and other things that will show your identity and provide the impression of the date should be removed.
Eliminate unnecessary things inside and outside. Decluttering the house covers both interior and exterior portions. Reduce the number of furniture for showing. Shelves must be minimized of books and magazines. Countertops must be stripped of unused kitchen gadgets. Jars, bottles, and other empty containers in the yard must be eliminated too. There’s always the recycling shop to monetize them.
Accessorize, but not too much.
Reducing the displays will be defeated if you replace them with other objects. Accessorizing doesn’t mean that you have to equate what you’ve removed. Attractive vases are always good displays, especially if fresh flowers are on them. Give a scale view of the length and width of tables by putting smaller but beautiful objects on them too. Center tables can host a dish garden instead of too many ceramic displays.


A house is an excellent object for photo shoots. By following the tips above, you’re sure to have beautiful photos of your home that are also good for viewing by potential buyers.
