Staging Tips

• Schedule your photo shoot when the sun is on the front of the house
• Close windows and adjust window coverings so they are all the same
• Remove vehicles, garden hoses, toys, broom, shovels etc. from view
• Trim hedges and lawn, open umbrellas and set up your lawn furniture
• Emphasize the features of your home – feature one focal point in a room
• De-clutter – less is more – make your rooms look as spacious as possible
• Replace all burnt out light bulbs
• Avoid large decorative items that block the view to adjoining rooms & features
• Remove brightly coloured items such as children’s toys and furniture from main rooms
• De-personalize your home, remove portraits, personal collections and valuables
