Staging
Important Tips To Prepare Your Property For Photography
Well done real estate photography is one of the most powerful ways to attract buyers and increase a property’s market appeal. When potential buyers browse listings online, images are often the first—and sometimes only—impression they get before deciding to schedule a showing. A well-staged home highlights the property’s architecture, creates emotional connection, and conveys a sense of warmth and livability that an empty or cluttered space simply cannot. Whether you’re preparing a modest condo or a luxury estate, the goal is always the same: present the space as open, inviting, and move-in ready. Remember: Nothing ruins a photo story like a pile of dirty laundry, an unmade bed, or an overflowing trash can.
Declutter and Depersonalize
Every home tells a story, but when photographing a property, that story should be about the space—not the current residents. Personal items and clutter distract viewers and make rooms appear smaller than they are. Removing them allows buyers to mentally move in and imagine their own lives within those walls.
- Clear countertops, coffee tables, and nightstands of non-essentials.
- Remove family photos, refrigerator magnets, and personal paperwork.
- Store toys, pet accessories, and laundry baskets out of sight.
- Simplify bookcases and shelves with neutral, balanced arrangements.
- Leave only a few tasteful décor items such as a vase, candle, or small plant for visual interest.
Less is often more! Clean, minimal surfaces allow natural light to reflect and give the camera a sense of depth.
Depopulate the Home
For the best result, it’s ideal for homeowners (and animals!) to be away during the photo shoot. The photographer and listing agent should be the only people on-site whenever possible. Constantly moving people out of the frame or reshooting scenes because someone walked through can slow the process and compromise image quality. While it’s sometimes unavoidable for residents to be present, an empty home allows for a smoother session and produces the highest-quality photos in the most efficient manner.
Deep Clean and Repair
Even the most professional lens can’t hide grime, fingerprints, or wear-and-tear. A thorough cleaning ensures photos feel fresh and polished, projecting confidence that the home has been well maintained.
- Wash windows inside and out to maximize light transmission.
- Dust ceiling fans, lampshades, blinds, and baseboards.
- Steam clean carpets and mop hard floors so they gleam.
- Patch small wall holes, and replace burnt-out bulbs.
- Straighten blinds or drapes for symmetry and to diffuse light naturally.
A spotless home conveys value even before anyone steps through the door.
Optimize Lighting
Photography relies on light above all else. Staging for optimal illumination transforms a space from dull and flat to warm and welcoming. Whenever possible, schedule your shoot in the late morning or early afternoon when natural light is most flattering.
- Open all drapes, blinds, and shutters to bring in daylight.
- Turn on every interior light, even in hallways and accent areas.
- Replace bulbs with daylight-balanced options (around 5000K daylight) for consistent tone.
- Avoid mixed lighting (such as warm incandescent and cool LED in the same room).
Balanced, even lighting ensures photographs capture both detail and mood.
Arrange Furniture Strategically
The way furniture is arranged influences how spacious a room feels in pictures. Even large rooms can appear cramped if pieces are too numerous or poorly placed. The goal is to establish flow and structure without blocking sightlines or windows.
- Angle seating toward architectural features such as fireplaces or picture windows.
- Remove bulky or excess furniture that disrupts walking paths.
- Center rugs proportionally under key furniture groupings.
- Leave open spaces near doorways and corners for balance.
A symmetrical, intentional layout helps draw the viewer’s eye through the frame.
Incorporate Natural Elements
Nature brings calm energy and dimension to interiors. Subtle organic touches help soften the environment and make a property feel lived-in without personal clutter.
- Use a small plant or vase of fresh flowers in prominent spaces.
- Keep outdoor areas tidy with trimmed landscaping and swept walkways.
- Enhance patio and pool images with clean seating and vibrant greenery.
These hints of life provide inviting warmth when viewed on screen.
Prepare for the Photographer’s Arrival
When the photographer arrives, having the property completely ready saves time and ensures the best outcome. Every detail should align with your marketing goals: clean, bright, and photo-ready from every angle.
- Turn off ceiling fans to avoid motion blur.
- Hide cords, remote controls, and trash bins.
- Adjust blinds so light is even but not harsh.
- Double-check that all light bulbs match in tone and intensity. Daylight setting best.
- Clear vehicles from the driveway to improve curb shots.
- Close all toilet seats.
Small details often separate average listing photos from exceptional ones that capture multiple offers.
Exterior and Curb Appeal
The exterior is what entices buyers to click through your listing. Treat it with as much attention as the interior, especially since first impressions happen before the viewer even “enters” the home virtually.
- Mow lawns and edge walkways for crisp borders.
- Remove hoses, garden tools, and recycling bins.
- Clean gutters, pressure-wash siding, and polish front door hardware.
- Add a doormat or potted plant to create a welcoming entrance.
A well-maintained exterior communicates care and value that resonates throughout the listing.
Final Touches Before the Shoot
On photo day, take a few moments to walk through the home with fresh eyes. Imagine yourself viewing it online for the first time. Adjust as needed for balance and comfort.
- Straighten chairs, align frames, and fluff cushions before the first shot.
- Step outside and look back at the front yard—make sure it feels inviting from that first-glance perspective.
By combining these finishing touches with an experienced photographer’s techniques, you can produce images that represent the true essence of the property. Each file becomes more than a picture—it becomes an invitation, sparking curiosity and inspiring potential buyers to see the home in person.
A thoughtfully staged home paired with professional real estate photography makes an undeniable impression. It communicates pride of ownership, sets realistic expectations for showings, and can even accelerate the sale timetable. When every element—light, composition, cleanliness, and emotion—works together, the home stops being just a structure and becomes someone’s dream waiting to happen.
Empty House?
