🏠 Select the Room(s) to Plan Your Shoot
Living Room: Show Off Space & Light
  • Open curtains and blinds for natural light. Turn on all lamps.
  • Remove personal items, excess furniture, and remote controls.
  • Shoot from a corner or doorway to make the room feel spacious.
  • Highlight any unique features (fireplace, view, built-in shelves).
Kitchen: Bright, Clean, & Inviting
  • Clear all benches—leave only one or two stylish items (bowl of fruit, kettle).
  • Hide tea towels, rubbish bins, fridge magnets, and pet bowls.
  • Shoot towards windows or open plan areas for depth.
  • Polish taps and appliances to remove fingerprints.
Bedroom: Calm, Cosy, & Neutral
  • Make the bed with fresh, neutral linen—no wrinkles.
  • Clear bedside tables, hide cords and chargers.
  • Open curtains, let in natural light.
  • Avoid shooting directly at mirrors.
Bathroom: Spa-Fresh & Sparkling
  • Remove all toiletries, cleaning products, and laundry baskets.
  • Hang fresh white towels, put toilet lid down.
  • Shoot from doorway to show the whole space.
  • Shine mirrors and glass—no streaks!
Exterior: First Impressions Count
  • Move cars, bins, and hoses out of the shot.
  • Sweep paths, mow lawn, trim hedges, tidy garden beds.
  • Shoot on a sunny day if possible; dusk can look magical with lights on inside.
  • Straighten up outdoor furniture.
Garden/Deck: Outdoor Living Sells
  • Stage outdoor settings with clean cushions, maybe a jug of lemonade or coffee cups.
  • Remove toys, tools, and garden clutter.
  • Highlight privacy, sun, and any view.
  • Shoot from the corner to maximise sense of space.

⏰ Best Time of Day to Shoot Each Room
Living Room
10:00am
Morning light shows the space best. Avoid late afternoon shadows.
Kitchen
11:00am
Mid-morning or early afternoon, when the kitchen is brightest.
Bedroom
9:00am
Morning is best for bedrooms—soft light feels inviting and warm.
Exterior/Garden
6:00pm
Late afternoon or dusk for golden light—turn on inside lights for that “glow”.
