You don’t need a professional camera or studio lighting. With a few simple tips, your phone photos can help your furniture sell faster and attract better buyers.
Clear, honest photos build trust. Buyers are more likely to enquire — and commit — when they can clearly see what they’re getting.
Photograph near a window or open door during the day. Natural light shows colours accurately and avoids harsh shadows. Turn off your flash — it usually makes furniture look shiny or washed out.
You don’t need a showroom. Just clear clutter, straighten cushions, and remove distractions so buyers focus on the furniture — not the room.
Front, side, back, and close-ups all help buyers feel confident. More angles = fewer questions and faster decisions.
Step back and include surrounding furniture where possible. This helps buyers understand the size at a glance and reduces wasted messages.
If there’s a mark, scratch, or wear — photograph it clearly. Buyers appreciate honesty, and it builds trust before they even message you.
Our Snap to Sell tool uses your photos to generate a full listing — title, description, and suggested details — in seconds.
Clear photos make a real difference — and you’re already halfway there.
