WOODEN FLOOR
Your wooden floor is a good backdrop option as well, if the colour of your floor and your colour palette matches then it’ll be a great background for your pictures. Don’t forget you can use apps to adjust the colour of your floor up to your preferences.
Votre plancher en bois est également une bonne option de fond, si la couleur de votre plancher et votre palette de couleurs correspondent, alors ce sera un excellent arrière-plan pour vos photos.

PAPER
This a trick I use for most of my flatlays, you don’t need to have a white table or white furniture to have a white background – you can use an A4 or A5 sized paper! It does the same trick and people won’t see a difference.
C’est un truc que j’utilise pour la plupart de mes flatlays, vous n’avez pas besoin d’avoir une table blanche ou un meuble blanc pour avoir un fond blanc – vous pouvez utiliser un papier de format A4 ou A5! Il fait la même chose et les gens ne verront aucune différence.

DUVET
If you want to create a dreamy and cosy shot, incorporate your duvet into the picture! It doesn’t matter what colour it is or whether it has patterns, using a duvet for your flatlays will instantly add a beautiful touch to your picture.
Si vous voulez créer une photo de “rêve et confortable”, incorporez votre couette à la photo! Peu importe la couleur ou les motifs, utiliser une couette pour vos flatlays ajoutera instantanément une belle touche à votre photo.

MARBLE COUNTERTOP
If you have a marble counter in your bathroom or kitchen, why not take advantage of it! Even if the lighting is bad, you can still manage to create a luxury vibe/feel to it by adding beauty and skincare products to your flatlays.
Si vous avez un comptoir en marbre dans votre salle de bain ou votre cuisine, pourquoi ne pas en profiter! Même si l’éclairage est mauvais, vous pouvez toujours créer une ambiance/sensation de luxe en ajoutant des produits de beauté et de soin de la peau à vos flatlays.

I am actually using a purple rug! But I love these ideas as I have been looking for new alternatives
Ahh that’s cool! Rugs are a great option as well but depending on the quality, they can be pretty expensive that’s the reason why I didn’t include them x
Yeah though I think a lot of people forget to realize it doesn’t need to be a huge rug. Really, all you need it to be is maybe wide like an end table or depends on how you take the pictures!
Yes that’s very true! I wish I could find a small rug that’s affordable haha x
Well, I like looking through amazaon 😂 *total internet shopper*
I’ve never checked Amazon, I’ll check there!
Great tips! I love books but I’m terrible at taking pictures. Thanks for the ideas!

Love this! Great ideas and I was getting bored with white marble. (I know, unimaginable!) So fun, I hope you don’t mind if I try to do type in Franglais, too. I’m obviously not a native speaker.
J’aime bien ça. J’ennuyais avec le marbre blanc. Mais, peux-tu m’aider avec la lumière jaune partout mes photos?
My pics still have too much yellow tone. Can you help with ideas for that?
Thank you! There are some apps you can use to edit the brightness and contrast levels of the pictures as well as curves & tones.
