Room-by-Room Preparation TIps

Simple Steps to Showcase Every Space

Living Areas

  • Declutter by removing personal items, including family photos, remote controls, tissue boxes, and other belongings.

  • Tidy up and hide cords, toys, and any portable items.

  • Sweep or vacuum floors and consider removing large rugs to showcase flooring.

  • Rearrange furniture, if necessary, to create a spacious and inviting look.

Kitchen & Dining Areas

  • Wipe down all surfaces, including countertops, appliances, and tables.

  • Remove magnets and personal notes from the fridge.

  • Hide soap dispensers, sponges, and dish racks.

  • Ensure benchtops are clear, and consider adding a stylish touch, such as a fruit bowl, a bottle of wine, or a set dining table.

Bedrooms

  • Make all beds neatly and hide children’s toys or clutter.

  • Remove personal items such as jewellery, photos, and chargers from bedside tables.

  • Sweep or vacuum floors, and double-check all bedside lamps are working.

  • Aim for a cosy and welcoming atmosphere.

Bathrooms

  • Clear all surfaces by hiding toiletries, toothbrushes, and soap dispensers.

  • Fold and hang towels neatly in their holders.

  • Remove floor mats, shower toiletries, and unnecessary items.

  • Wipe down mirrors, countertops, and tiles for a sparkling finish.

Outdoor Areas

  • Mow lawns and tidy up the garden, if necessary.

  • Remove hoses, garden tools, and children’s toys.

  • Arrange outdoor furniture neatly and fold umbrellas if applicable.

  • Hide rubbish bins by moving them to the garage or out of sight.

Final Touches

  • Ensure all interior lights are switched on, blinds are open, and ceiling fans are turned off.

  • Replace any burnt-out bulbs and remove vehicles from the driveway and street outside the house.

  • Give everything a final once-over to confirm it looks as presentable as possible.

Important Tips

Temporary Storage: If you need to quickly hide items for the shoot, the garage or laundry is a great option. If these spaces are visible in photos, tuck items into cupboards or storage bins instead.

  • Seasonal Décor: Remove any seasonal decorations or overly personal items to appeal to a wider audience.

  • Valuables: Ensure all valuable items are stored securely, as everything in the room will be captured in the photographs.

  • Photographer Walk-Through: Our photographer will provide minor adjustments or staging during the shoot, but all major preparations should be completed in advance.
