Pre Shoot Peparation
Here are some tips on each area of the house.
If you need more styling ideas, I encourage you to take a look at my portfolio.
Kitchen:
- Keep the counter-top clear (that means no rice cooker, chopping board, pots and pans, kettle). However, if you have designer appliances (e.g. SMEG Kettles, toasters etc, or a fanciful coffee maker, you can display them).
- Oil stains and water stains. Please ensure that the back splash, cupboard doors and stove are clean.
- Dish rack, bright neon sponges / cloth / washing liquid should be hidden from sight.
Living Hall and Dining area:
- Make sure the TV console is neat and wires are tucked away. Routers, remote consoles, discs and game consoles should be hidden if possible.
- Standing fans, air purifiers and dehumidifiers should be stored away.
- Dining table should be kept empty unless the table is set properly
- We advice that personally identifiable items / photos should be stored away during the shoot. This is because the photos may end up on social media channels.
Bedrooms:
- Please keep all loose items / wires / chargers
- If there are existing bed side lights, decoration pieces, these may be retained for the shoot
- Bedding should be nicely fitted and in plain colours like white, black or grey
Study Room:
- Please ensure desk is neat and free of clutter
- Sensitive work / school materials should be kept properly
- Chargers, wires etc should be neatly tucked in or kept away
- Books should look nice and curated.
- Brightly coloured files / text and assessment books should be kept away
Toilets:
- Please ensure that water stains have been cleaned from bath screen, shower heads, mirrors and taps and floor is dry.
- Lose items like clothes, towels, make up, toiletries have been cleared away.
- Decorative dispensers / nice bottles (e.g. Aesop / Ashley and Co bottles etc) can be retained for the shoot.
Service Yard:
- Please ensure that the yard is kept clean and tidy.
- Laundry should kept away from view
Balconies:
- Please ensure that the space is clean and laundry is kept away from view.
