Below we answer some of the most frequently asked questions about hiring lifestyle locations through specialist location agencies.
What exactly is a lifestyle location?
A lifestyle location is a real, lived-in space that offers distinctive interiors, architecture or styling suitable for filming and photography. These might include stylish family homes, modern apartments, architectural houses or design-led properties.
Unlike traditional studios, lifestyle locations provide natural character and authenticity. Details such as natural light, real furniture, personal objects and architectural features help create environments that feel believable on camera.
Lifestyle locations are often used for lifestyle photography, fashion shoots, product campaigns and scripted domestic scenes in film and television.
Why should I book through a location agency instead of going direct?

How do I find the right location for my project?
Most location agencies provide searchable online libraries where you can filter properties by style, size or architectural features.
When selecting a location, consider:
-
Natural light and window orientation
-
Layout (open-plan vs multiple rooms)
-
Interior design style
-
Accessibility for crew and equipment
-
Parking or loading access
Many lifestyle shoots favour properties with spacious layouts and flowing interiors such as Open-Plan Locations, which provide flexibility for cameras, lighting and crew movement. If you're looking for real homes used for productions, you can also browse our Residential Film Locations.
What’s included when hiring a lifestyle location?
What’s included will depend on the property, but generally productions are granted access to agreed areas of the home for the duration of the hire.
Some property owners allow furniture to be moved or styled for the shoot, while others prefer the location to remain unchanged. Your location agency will confirm these details in advance to ensure expectations are clear for both parties.
How much does it cost to hire a lifestyle location?
Location fees vary depending on several factors, including:
-
The size and uniqueness of the property
-
The duration of the shoot
-
The type of production (editorial, TV, commercial etc.)
-
Crew size and equipment requirements
Commercial campaigns typically attract higher fees than editorial shoots, while larger productions may require additional access time or specialist facilities.

Start by browsing the Lifestyle Houses collection or use the Search for Film Locations tool to filter properties by style, region or features.
