After you have decided to rent the home, it is time to prepare the house for cleaning. This basically involves cleaning the rooms so that the real size is perfectly visible in pictures. First and foremost, get your kitchen cleaned. Make it absolutely spic and span not only from the outside, but from the inside as well. This includes cleaning the counter top, cabinets and even the sink. Next comes the living room and the dining room. Dry clean all your sofa-sets and armchairs, clean the curtains and coffee tables so that they add to the beautiful home décor. Also, in case you have many small collectibles and figurines, clean them too. When it comes to the dining table, clean the chairs, lay a bright and colourful table linen and also pamper the table with some high-end crockery. In case of bedrooms, make the bed, clean the closet and lay the clothes in a proper and organised manner. When it comes to bathrooms, clean the sanitary ware along with the mirrors, fittings and most importantly the bathtub.

When planning to take pictures of your house, there is a list of little basic equipment you need to have.

You can use different lenses to focus on big and small things. These lenses will also help you capture the whole room in one single frame. Again, the tripod will help you take the best still photographs that can be of great help in advertising. These pictures can then be transferred to the computer or a laptop and then be further beautified with the use of photo editing software.

Light up everything

Good pictures can be taken only with proper lighting. So, ensure that each and every room of the house is perfectly lit. This can either be natural light or artificial light in the form of tubes or LED lamps. Take pictures of glass windows, and doors. The pictures should be such that it gives a clear view of the type of windows, their size and even the opening mechanism. You should clean all the small lamps and can even take closer shots in case of a special lamp or feature. For dining rooms and living rooms, try to capture the statement lights or chandeliers, which play a highly impressive feature while deciding a house. Try to perfectly capture its shape, size and glow from different angles and lengths.

When advertising the house, exteriors play a major role too. There are many people who choose the house as per the locality and neighbourhood. These include green surroundings, a quiet neighbourhood or even the front view of the house. Many people are particular about the façade or the parking space available in the house.

You may also like to capture the patio or porch area. In case you have a swimming pool, try to picture it as well. Apart from these, you should also capture the entrance doors and hallways. Try taking pictures both in daylight and dark. This gives a clear idea of effective lighting in the exteriors.
