Preparing an Airbnb home for photography is essential to attract potential guests, highlight the best features of the home, create a positive first impression, and set realistic expectations for guests. Tidying up and decluttering the space, arranging furniture and decor, and ensuring cleanliness can make a world of difference in the photos. By doing so, you can make your home stand out and help it look more inviting and comfortable. Photos are often the first impression guests have of your home, and it's crucial to make a positive one!

Staging & Decor

I recommend that the areas you stage are the parts of the home that people get most excited about and where they envision spending their time. This might be in the outdoor area, or living room (where the relaxing happens!) Set the scene for them. An idea could be to bring wine glasses & a set up charcuterie board. Fresh flowers and a few extra blankets in the living room can also help with creating a mood. Your favourite parts of the home will most likely be your guest’s highlights as well. A nice bouquet of fresh flowers adds warmth and a pop of colour to the photos. With this being said, it is important to remember when adding decor & textiles to not add too many essential items that will not be provided during their stay. If you include luxury shampoo or soaps in the photos for example, guests may expect this.
