The photographer arrives with the lights and lenses. What they cannot bring is clear surfaces and open space. That part is down to you, and it rarely takes more than an afternoon.
Room by room
- Kitchen: clear the worktops except for one or two objects
- Living room: remove a chair if the room feels full
- Bedrooms: plain bedding, pillows plumped, nothing on the floor
- Bathrooms: fresh towels, toiletries out of sight
Outside
Mow the lawn two days before, move bins out of view and open the front door so the hall reads as welcoming from the street.
