SCRUBBING UP FOR THE SPOTLIGHT: 7 TIPS FOR BATHROOM PHOTOGRAPHY PREP
Want to make your bathroom shine like a superstar in real estate photos? Preparing the bathroom for a photography shoot is important but sometimes overlooked. You'll be amazed at how a little cleaning and prep can turn your bathroom into a showstopper, stealing the spotlight in those property photos and attracting buyers like never before. We're talking about boosting the wow factor and winning over potential buyers like a pro. So, here’s how to do it.
When presenting a bathroom for real estate photography, there are seven key things to focus on to ensure it looks its best.
1. Clean, Clean, Clean
Make sure the bathroom is spotlessly clean before the photo shoot. Clean the mirrors, wipe down surfaces, and remove any visible dirt or grime.
2. Declutter to Create Spaciousness
Be sure to remove personal items such as toothbrushes, toiletries, and bathrobes. Clear the countertops of unnecessary items to create a clean and spacious look. If you accidentally forget to remove something, don’t worry, we have a quick fix. We can take out the unwanted element with our Item Removal edit.
3. Use Fresh Towels and Mats for an Added Touch
Place fresh, neatly folded towels on towel racks or hang them attractively. Use coordinating bathmats to add a touch of color and texture to the space. They will make your bathroom features pop, creating that irresistible emotional connection.
4. Make the Showers and Tubs Sparkle
Clean the shower and bathtub thoroughly and remove any streaks from the glass. Remove any toiletries or cleaning products, and close the shower curtain or door. If the shower or tub has attractive features, such as a rain showerhead or a clawfoot tub, consider highlighting them in the composition.
5. Help it Shine with Lighting
Ensure that the bathroom is well-lit. Open any blinds or curtains to allow natural light to flood in, and turn the lights on to create a bright and inviting ambiance. If you don’t get the lighting exactly right, we can correct it with a simple Image Enhancement edit.
6. Take a Look at the Mirrors
Clean the mirrors to ensure they are free of smudges or streaks. Mirrors can help create an illusion of space and reflect light, making the bathroom appear larger and brighter.
7. Focus on the Details
Don’t forget to pay attention to small details that can make a difference. Ensure that toilet seats are down, toilet paper rolls are neatly placed, and faucets are polished, shiny and are turned to the center position for a consistent appearance. Straighten towels and rugs to create a tidy and organized look. Want a few extra tips on pre-shoot preparation? Find out the nine items that can be hurting your listing.
