How To Get Photoshoot-Worthy Throw Pillows.

What makes those throw pillows look so luxurious in professional interior design photographs? It’s the fills!

Throw pillow fills are either poly-filled or feather-, down- or some combination of feather & down-filled. Polyester filled pillows will not “karate chop” or be fluffed just so like a feather/down pillow will. Instead, they’ll just kind of… sit there.

Feather/down fills are typically more expensive, so its definitely better to have poly-filled pillows than no pillows at all, but what you can do is buy pillows with removable covers and buy feather/down inserts later on. The cool thing about that is that you can switch out the pillow covers as much as you’d like without spending money on the inserts every time.
