By the time we're through with you, your kitchen pictures will be beyond compare and your interior stylist skills will be unrivalled. Let's get to it…

2. Lighting really is everything so make sure main lights are on, skylights are looking dazzling and start snapping

3. It should go without saying but before you photograph any room, be sure it's clean. You'll be surprised what the camera can pick up

4. You want a good mix of neutral and personal style so people can easily imagine living in your home. Bedrooms look good in pictures when kept neutral and calm

5. You want your pictures to have some personality so don't strip out all your belongings and accessories. In fact, leaving things such as towels in a bathroom shot will make it seem more homely

6. Figure out which rooms work best at different times of the day. For a cosy master bedroom shot, early evening, with the lights down low, usually works well

7. Don't shy away from showing off the best features of your home. If you have an amazing conservatory, shoot it in the midday sun and add some bright cushions to really zing it up

8. Make a feature of any hidden storage that your home has to offer as this will often be a real selling point. A candid 'in use' shot will work best!

9. When it comes to the most important rooms in the house, make sure you take the time to actually style them. This includes adding fresh fruit and flowers

10. If your home is eclectic, don't try to overshadow that as it's a unique selling point. Make the most of it with funky camera angles and off-centre shots of communal spaces

11. Always get a good exterior shot! Some people forget this and only offer up gorgeous interior snaps

12. If you enjoy generous proportions in your home, try to stand in corners to take your snaps as this will lengthen the perceived space. Point towards a window for the same effect

13. Be careful when taking pictures near mirrored or reflective surfaces. Nothing ruins a pro shot like an image of you holding the camera!

14. Don't take seasonal pictures as you will limit the potential interested parties. Your home needs to look year-round beautiful, not just Christmas cosy!

15. When all else fails, hire a professional photographer and/or stylist to come get the perfect pictures for you. If they can get more people interested in your property, they will be an investment
