If you're a content creator, you may already know the endless hours one puts into creating a styled space or setting. In today's post, I will share with you tips that I have learned along the way that will work for you & even if you're not a content creator.
I have chatted about how I like to get multiple uses out of a styled space—especially my tablescapes. So, let's go into more depth & I'll share several pictures where my tips come into play.
1. First, you will create your biggest piece; it might be a tablescape. So that's what we'll break apart in this post. When I create my tablescapes, I think solely about the entire tablescape. As I have gathered the most items for this style, I want it to be perfect in that nothing is left out. Once completed, I will take one big video of my tablescape in one view, always the main view. I will then take several smaller videos of it from different angles & distances. When taking pictures, I take so many of them & like I've said before, many go unseen. But that's okay. I have them if I ever need them.
2. Take pictures from different angles & distances. Make sure to capture the small details in your tablescape. For example, focus on the petals from the flower arrangement & have a soft background; it can be as simple as candles from the table & their dripping wax. Once you're done, you have captured your original content; of course, there's the editing you'll need to do to make it look great & put together, but for now, I'll focus on the steps of getting more out of your original videos & photos. You can create & edit separate different videos that you can share on your social media just by using the OG video & pictures. Edit your videos & pictures to create as many versions as possible. I create several to share in my feeds & on my stories. Never delete the original videos or photographs, as you can always refer back to them to make any editing adjustments. I like to use the apps Inshot & Canva to create my reels. I have learned many techniques by working with both apps.
3. Next, you can start breaking down your tablescape. If it was set for 4 or 6 guests, you could break it down to a more intimate setting by using only two seating. Just rearrange your centerpiece to accommodate the two seatings. You can take a short video & several pictures to create your posts. When I style a table for two, I use zoomed-in pictures as they are more intimate & capture the mood.

4. After you're completely done with the tablescape, it's time to focus on your centerpiece on its own. I take a few pictures, just the arrangement & table. I also like to take a video of it from an angle & at a distance. When you go & create your video, you can pull images from the original photos, like the zoomed-in one from the petals.
5. The last tip, move the centerpiece around your home & snap pictures of it! You can use these for content or on your Instagram stories to engage with followers & even potential followers. I've used them for my cover photo on my reels when I have a reels that won't go with the esthetic of my feed.
These tips help me when I am in a crunch for time or even if I want to create & save time.
