Keep your home photoshoot ready with these handy tips for influencers

Collaborative Post | As an influencer, you need to ensure your home is ready to capture the perfect content whenever the opportunity arises. Whether it's scheduled content you need to create or you see an opportunity and need to seize it instantly, ensuring your home is photo shoot-ready at all times can be a massive undertaking.

These tips can be exactly what you need to be ready to film at any time of day or night, regardless of the subject or topic.

Declutter

Suppose you're aiming for a sleek, minimalist look and aesthetic. In that case, it's essential to undertake a thorough decluttering session to remove excess items from your home and reduce clutter, which can make your space look messy and cramped. Take it room by room and go through everything you own. If you haven't used it recently or have no further need for it, consider finding an alternative use for it, donating it, selling it, or disposing of it if it's no longer usable. ​

Automate

By automating certain aspects of your chores or home's upkeep, you can significantly reduce the time and effort involved, leaving you with more energy to focus on your content. 
​
For instance, a battery operated lawn mower can maintain a neat and tidy lawn while you concentrate on other areas of your garden or outdoor space. A self-cleaning oven can help keep cooking appliances spotless for your recipe or cooking tutorials. A robotic vacuum and mop can keep your floors pristine, allowing you to tidy up other areas. This convenience can be a game-changer for your filming schedule.

Hire help

Consider outsourcing certain tasks to professionals, such as a maid service, cleaning company, or meal preparation service, to reduce the amount of time spent on cleaning and prevent dishes from piling up. Additionally, consider services like food delivery, window cleaning, or gardening to streamline your household tasks. These services cannot only make your life easier but also ensure your home is always in top condition for filming. Knowing that you have this support can alleviate some of the stress and allow you to focus on creating your content. 

If you are busy or need additional help, having people come in and work alongside you can help you maintain standards and provide a perfect home that will serve as a backdrop for your images.

Cleaning schedules

Adhering to a strict cleaning schedule is crucial for maintaining a home that's always ready for filming. Regular chores can help keep your space looking camera-ready at all times. This is especially important when you want to go live, stream, or capture footage that you need to look great. A well-maintained home can be the perfect backdrop for your content, making your filming process smoother and more professional.

Hidden storage

Multi-purpose furniture with hidden storage can be the perfect way to conceal your belongings and create the illusion of a clutter-free home, one that is organised and ready for filming. Not only do you get great-looking props for your shoots or filming environments, but you also get places to store items you need out of view, or those you don't often use yet have prepared to film whenever you need to.
