Framing Small Spaces: The Essentials of Unit Photography

As property becomes increasingly unaffordable for many Australians, units have grown in popularity. Just look around — thousands of new developments are currently under construction across the country.

Showcasing the bright and sunny areas is a must!

If the bedroom has a balcony then show it!

So, what does it take to make a unit truly stand out? At Benchmark, we believe it’s about showcasing the best features: the views, the kitchen, the bathrooms, and any shared facilities the complex may offer. Highlighting these elements helps buyers imagine themselves living there.

The bathroom shares the same room with the laundry so make it look separate.

This laundry is opposite the bathroom basin.

We also believe in striking the right balance — enough visual interest to draw attention, while leaving just enough curiosity to encourage buyers to inspect the property in person. After all, that’s the ultimate goal for agents.

The unit sits above a supermarket and that is convenience so show it!

The kitchen is modern and a good size for a 1 bedroom unit so we definitely want to show this!

Private outdoor sitting areas are great to show!
