How to photograph your apartment for Booking — 10 tips

A guest decides in 3 seconds — click or scroll past.

1. Golden hour

Shoot morning (7-9 AM) or evening (5-7 PM). Never at noon.

2. Wide-angle lens

Use 0.5x on iPhone. Room looks 40% bigger.

3. Open all curtains

Natural light + indoor lights = warmth.

4. The bed is the star

White linens, decorative pillows. The bed sells the apartment.

5. Remove personal items

No toothbrushes, no shoes by the door. Clean, empty space.

6. Add life

Fresh flowers, fruit in a bowl, a cup of coffee.

7. Shoot from the corner

Diagonally — capture two walls and the floor.

8. Bathroom — clean and dry

White towels, new soap, a plant on the shelf.

9. The view

Shoot from inside looking out — a window with a view sells better.

10. Order matters

First photo: view. Second: bed. Third: bathroom. Booking favors 20+ photos.
