Great photos make buyers stop scrolling and message you immediately. Learn simple smartphone photography techniques, lighting tips, and staging setups that make your used furniture look professional and appealing to online buyers.
Clean the Area Around the Furniture
Remove clothes, clutter, and personal items from the background before snapping photos. A tidy, well lit room makes your furniture look premium and well cared for.
Shoot in Natural Morning or Afternoon Light
Turn off artificial yellow ceiling lights and open your window curtains. Natural diffused daylight captures the authentic color and texture of fabric and wood without harsh shadows.
Capture Five Essential Angles
Take a wide shot of the whole item, a close up of the fabric or wood grain, a side profile, the back, and any brand tags or receipt details.
Highlight Scale and Proportions
Place a decorative cushion or book on a coffee table to give viewers an intuitive sense of scale and size.
Post Your Photos
Upload your photos directly to Rehome Kenya in less than two minutes.
Practical Tips for the Kenyan Market
When shopping for pre owned goods in Kenya, factor in transport logistics, electrical surge protection, and physical inspection. Always test appliances, furniture joints, and device functionalities thoroughly before completing payment on M-Pesa.
Dealing with verified local sellers or working with Rehome agents provides an extra layer of security, ensuring you get authentic value without unexpected repair costs.
