Useful to read this link - I've copied the contacts they listed below, though most seem based around London, I think they would find locations across the UK..
This list starts with the agencies that specialise in posher homes, with agencies who reperesent a broader selection, including more ordinary homes, at the bottom. I gather that it is often possible to register with more than one agency.
Ive turned my bedroom into an 80s room. It has all the usual old video player and videos, old computers, old posters, super mario stuff like a clock, old tv, reciord player etc is this the sort of tyhing that maybe a film company would like to use in a film that was based in the 80s? for example the wedding singer

I used to work in this game and while there is easy money to be made it can also be very disruptive. Any location manager worth their salt will fully prepare you for this.
To answer aberdeenlads question, it's possible but unlikely. Generally the film crews art department will be the ones who "dress" the location. Unless your bedroom happens to be exactly what they're looking for exactly where they're looking for it then you're a very niche market! Still can't hurt trying.

When a film company uses your home they strip all the furniture out if they need the interior and put their own in (recifying it afterwards of course). So whatever your decor is, it does not matter.
Be aware of a couple of things..
You cannot give permission if your home is rented, only your landlord can.
If it is being used in a series, then there will be things that you will not be able to change between filming seasons.
You may have to move out for a length of time, the cost of that will be in the allowance (usually fixed) that the company pays, you will not get "extra" for inconvenience.

I own a field, only approached via a "restricted byway", but which was once the main highway - and is still maintained (if one could call it maintained!!!) by Council Highways Department - footpath which itself is registered as of historical interest. Field has ancient and genuine very wide stone walls which were built by peasants clearing the land of stones, sloping 1 acre with exceptional views.
Also, have acre of natural woodland, protected by English Heritage, containing streams, stone gulleys channelling water which gushes from bank, and rare indigenuous plants. Wild, overgrown.
And a property which in the main hasn't been touched since 1960's, with many original hand made features.
Beware,
a friend rented out there house for film shoot for a faily well known film
they held a 'rave' in the house
the furniture was covered with soap bubbles,
various characters smoked various substances in the house leaving a residual smell,
the house was not cleaned properly,
when challenged about this , they were told they should have written up a more binding contract.
puts me off big time.
