Student house chaos, but make it art department.

For this We Buy Any Home interior, the room needed to feel cheap, colourful, lived-in and absolutely on the brink.

Balloons, streamers, wonky lamps, leak buckets, noticeboards, clashing cushions, a rogue boiler prop and enough party aftermath to make any landlord cry.

Always a good one when a director like gives us a brief this playful and lets the space get properly weird.

Nothing says glamorous exterior shoot quite like a punctured hosepipe rain rig.

For this We Buy Any Home setup, we dressed the house with painted window treatments, garden bits, props, topiary, potted plants and a very bright bench to push the world into something bold, colourful and slightly unreal.

Then we made it rain!

A very large gold frame that was, thankfully, not actually gold.

For this We Buy Any Home setup, we built an oversized ornate picture frame out of polystyrene foam, then scenic’d it to look like aged gold leaf mainly because mounting a real one inside a stately home felt like a fast route to a nervous breakdown.

Lightweight, green screen ready and just grand enough for an auntie portrait.
