Desperate to rent out your room in Singapore? Advertised on various portals but still receiving no responses? If you have yet to upload any photos onto your advertisement, we suggest you do so now! Even if you have taken a few shots, you can still try out these simple hacks to make your room look more desirable through mere pictures, and get rented out in a jiffy!
1) Bed sheet colour
Though the overall colour combinations in the room affect the aesthetic appeal, the picture would almost always include your bed, which also takes up a significant amount of picture space. Hence, do not underestimate the power of beautiful covers! You’d be amazed at how much more attractive you can make your bedroom look merely with a bed sheet or carpet of a different design.
2) Neat and Tidy Room
This means no hanging laundry, crumpled and unkempt bed sheets, tables with food or books and toys strewn all over! A neat and tidy house would instantly appear more desirable to potential tenants and ensure that they focus on the lovely features of your apartment rather than being distracted by its untidiness.
3) Good lighting
No one would click into an advertisement with a main image that barely shows the room features, or one which looks gloomy and hence distasteful. Other than using natural lighting by opening up the windows when taking pictures in the daytime, you can even turn on some lamps if you are taking the pictures at night, to give the room a cosier feel. You could even edit the brightness of photos easily on your smart-phones. Here are some good examples!
4) Angles
Try to show all parts of the room by taking your shots at various angles, and holding it at a suitable level, while also keeping the camera straight instead of tilting it. If possible, a fish eye effect would be a great bonus in making the room look more spacious, as well as showing more details in a single shot. Check out these fabulous angles in the following pictures!
5) Decoration
Flowers on the coffee table, paintings on the wall or even a teddy bear on the bed or couch may not seem like a big deal, but still make a difference in making your room look more striking, and hence stand out among the myriad of rooms available for rental. Even the simple effort of placing a laptop and neatly stacked books on a room table also helps to enhance the professional look of the room.
You certainly don’t need a DSLR to make your photos look good, since even our smart-phones can now produce pictures of excellent definition. Anyone can take great pictures with the right tricks and techniques, so start shooting and list your property for rent on Nestia today!
