5 Tips For A Picture Perfect Staircase...

You've got a brand new staircase and now you want to show it off, maybe show the 'gram your #StaircaseReno, here are 5 ways you can ensure your photos do justice!

Landscape NOT Portrait

Please take pictures in landscape mode to make sure that the image can be clearly seen. (Wider images are better than tall ones as cropping will occur when publishing photos on the website).

Ensure your images are at least 1920x1080px in size.

A bigger photo clearly shows all of the detail of the high-quality workmanship in its best light which is lost in a smaller picture. The same staircase can look small, dark and uninviting or light and airy with its quality features on full display just by adding light and size to give a more accurate representation of its dimensions. If there is no natural light, flicking the switch on can make all the difference too!

There’s nothing worse than a dark grainy image. Ensure that the light source is behind you or that the room is well-lit and the camera flash in auto mode.

Holding the camera steady will avoid any blurry images and enable any viewers to the site to see all the details clearly. You have a great looking staircase so you’ll want to show it off with a clear picture!

Take shots from different sides of your staircase and from a slight angle to show all its bespoke features clearly.

• Standard angles - A bottom up photo can help capture the incoming light as well as the reflective properties of the glass- these give a much better idea of the sense of space as well as the warmth and welcoming feel to a hallway that an oak and glass staircase can provide.

• Quirky angles - A top down photo can also work well- drawing the eye to the quality of the wood and joinery detail. In this photo, these are cleverly framed by the wall pictures which provide a warm welcoming feel.

• Side view - A side on photo can work well- this one displays the quality work that has gone into refurbishing this staircase (you would never know that it’s been refurbished rather than brand new!)
