Make your house look photogenic
5:58 PMIn this blog post i want to give you some simple steps that will help you to make your house more photogenic, and your pictures will look the best .
Most of the times you don't need to buy expenisve furniture or decorations to make your house look the best. Let me tell, you may have the most expensive pieces, but will still look ugly if you don't know how to make the best of them.
So either you whant yuor house to be ready for some party photos, either you need to keep it prepared in case of some instagram moments, here is what you need to do:
Nothing compares with a sparkly daylight taht gives the room that natural light needed, and a goregeus glow. So if your windows are covered by some dark or even light curtains, push them away. In one side or the other you dont need to get rid of them, you just need to let them stay away. One of the biggest issue of shooting indoor for a photograph, are light fixtures. When they are turned on, they causes a yellow cast. Photographers recomand instead shooting in a daylight.
Step 2. Always keep it clean
A verry good advice, and simple to keep your house well groomed, is to clean it. As i said you don't need fancy things arund the house, the simple way to make it beautiful is to clean it. So whipe down all the surfaces and pick up all the messy ends. If your surfaces are full of dust, no one will even notice that you just designed your house.
Step 3.Fresh elemets
If you have not seen the magic of flowers, than try to put them around your house. Just a fresh touch of naturals flowers will instantly burst color and life, and will transform a room from easy to overlook to paparazzi worthy.
Step 4. The rule of thirds
The rule of three is a principle used in various aspect of design. From graphic design, photography refered as the rule of Thirds. In interior design, the rule of thirds can be considered in progression and spatial composition. From the work triangles in the kitchen design, colour and fabric schemes, to the arangements of furniture or groupings of accessories and vignettes, ballanced with simetry using a focal point.
So the idea is to arange all the time the furniture pieces or decorations, to have a balance between them, and use always one point of focus.
Step 5. Depth
Maybe sometimes when you are arageing accesories in straight line is looking good, good for showasting products in a store, but is a rare thing you see in interior design. Manny times when you decide to arange the objects in a vignette, the objects are a bit off kilter.
So try to put the bowl maybe some few centimenters in front of the table lamp, than the candle few in the back of the bowl.The ideas is to play with the objects in depth of the perspective.
This way the decorative objects will give your place a beautiful arangement, not just like a showcase where everithing is lined up for customers.
Step 6. Use a color theme
One important rule if you want to make your house look photogenic, is to have atleast one color theme that runs through your space. If you are using a mainly neutral room, like this one that is in the color of cognac, than for the side tables go with some wood tones, and soft pastel coushion detail, this way,, if you will use a blue painting the color of it will be picked up more easly by the paisley embroidery. The ideea is to give the room a colour theme and the camera will eassly snap it.
Step 7. Fruits in the eyes
Fruits are like the fresh flowers. They cost almsot nohing, and they get to be a perfect finishing touch for any space. Fruits are adding colour, form and life. So as long as you keep them available they are in the spotlight. Either you place them in a basket, tray or bowl. You can get creative.
Step 8. Add red color
Even if your room is not on the red theme, or your are not the red color person, you dont have to underestimate the power of red hue. Color red is considerated psychologically one of the most eye-catching color. So if yo still want to make your place look eye cathing just add a pop of red .
Step 9. Add books
Is not scientific proved, but books are all the time a perfect decortaion, and it gives the space a finishing touch. So if your sidetable is serving you some blank spaces, than add some books, no matter how you arange them, they will still make it to look good.
Step 10. Organize your stationaryes
Now of course a table will all the time be full with pencils, papers, clips, remote. And is looking awfull when they are all over the table. The best thing you can do is to arange them on a tray on top of the table.This way you will stay organized.
