We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all familiar with the types of magazine or Instagram photo that make other people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s houses look attractive and spacious. We look at ways to achieve picture-perfect photos.<\/p>\r\n

Which rooms to photograph<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re taking photos of your home to sell it or advertise it on Air BnB, there are certain rooms that are essential. You can take photos of the spaces you are proud of, such as a beautiful hallway, but you should always take photos of the living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and at least one bedroom.<\/p>\r\n

Clear the room<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Imagine you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve invited family round and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want a clumsy uncle or nosey mother-in-law poking through your stuff. Dishes and papers should be tucked out of sight, as should evidence of litter trays and pet food bowls.<\/p>\r\n

Make the room look even more spacious by taking day-to-day clutter out of the shot. Clearing tables, floors and kitchen work surfaces and even the TV remotes can make a room seem more spacious.<\/p>\r\n

Clean up<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Give the room a good clean and polish up the shiny surfaces. Clean floors, windows, mirrors, surfaces and even doors are essential. Dark surfaces and hard floors show up dust, so give them a good clean, too.<\/p>\r\n

Place furniture<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Your furniture arrangement probably looks great to the eye, but in a photo it can appear too close together and make a room look crowded. Move non-essential furniture out of the frame so you can arrange the set.<\/p>\r\n

Make your home look lived in<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Once you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve cleared away the clutter, dress the set by adding a single personal item to make a photo come alive:<\/p>\r\n
