How to prepare a flat for a 360° photo session

9 May 2026 · 5 min read

A 360° tour sells the property — but only when the photos are polished. A 360° camera sees everything: every magnet on the fridge, every towel, every mirror reflecting the operator.

Pre-shoot prep is 30 minutes of work that saves a 1000+ PLN project.

Room preparation

1. Full tidy

Hide bins, blind cords, cables, clothes on chairs. Remember mirrors — the camera and operator show in them too.

2. Open internal doors

Closed doors block walk-through transitions. Open ones give a sense of space.

3. Hide personal items

Family photos, medicines, leaflets, calendars. The buyer should see their future home — not the previous owner's life.

Light and time of day

4. Shoot in daylight

Best 10:00–14:00 (until 16:00 in summer). Cloudy days give more even light than sunny ones.

5. Turn on every bulb

Floor lamps, sconces, LED strips. Adds coziness and reveals finishing details.

6. Curtains half-open

Let light in but keep curtains as part of the interior.

Framing and aesthetics

7. Beds made, sheets straight

Wrinkled bedding is a classic mistake.

8. Bathroom like a catalogue

Toilet seat down, brushes hidden, fresh white towels.

9. Kitchen: clean counter

Pans, boards, bottles — to the cupboard. Leave a stylish espresso machine or a bowl of fruit.

360° camera pitfalls

10. Operator and tripod in frame

The 360° camera shoots all around — there's no "behind the camera". Don't approach during the shot.

11. Mirrors, glass, shiny surfaces

Mirrors reflect the entire ceiling, including the camera.

12. TVs and screens — off

A black screen looks better than a static graphic.
