From Mess to Marvelous: Do This ONE Thing Before Your Interiors Shoot

Want to know one of the EASIEST things you can do to make your space look great for your interiors shoot?

Clear the clutter! Your objective: Make the space look like no one lives there. This might seem counterintuitive to a photoshoot of a home, but the goal is two-fold:

We want to have someone look at an image and be able to imagine THEMSELVES in the space. 

Don’t take this personally but…we always want to highlight unique features / aspects of the home that tell the home’s story. Having personal items – or other things that might be distracting in the image – out on display can take away from the story that we want that image to tell.

Think: Less is more. 

And, this is where styling comes in. It’s easier for us to add things back in in order to enhance the story of a space vs. spending time taking things out that detract from it. Two of my favorite stylists to work with are Kendra Surface & Ashley Hotham Cox.
