How to get your home photo ready

Thinking about putting your home on the market and want to make sure it looks its best for photos? Here are some tips to get your home photo-ready 📸:

1       📦 Declutter: Clear out any unnecessary items from your home, including personal belongings, excess furniture, and cluttered surfaces.

2       🧼 Clean thoroughly: Make sure your home is spotless. Clean all surfaces, floors, windows, and mirrors. Pay extra attention to kitchens and bathrooms, as these areas tend to show dirt and grime easily.

3       🖼️ Depersonalise: Remove personal items such as family photos, personal artwork, and memorabilia. This allows potential buyers to envision themselves living in the space and makes it easier for them to imagine their own belongings in the home.

4       🛋️ Stage your home: Arrange furniture in a way that showcases the flow and functionality of each room. Use neutral colours and simple decor too.

5       ⛅️ Maximise natural light: Open curtains and blinds to let in as much natural light as possible. Bright, well-lit rooms are more attractive in photos.

6       🏡 Enhance curb appeal: The exterior of your home is the first thing potential buyers will see in the photos. Ensure that your front garden is well-maintained. Remove bins and cars from the front/driveway.

7       🖌️ Pay attention to the details: Check for any small repairs or touch-ups that need to be done, such as chipped paint, broken fixtures, or loose handles. These small details can make a big difference in the overall appearance of your home in photos.

Give these handy tips a go to make your home even more attractive to buyers and hopefully  increase your chances of a successful sale.
