If you are like me, you want your home to look like it was taken out of the Home & Garden magazine. Interior designers have all the tips and tricks to make your home look perfect and I am going to share what I have learned to get your pillows perfectly plush and choppable.
What are choppable pillows?
If you are looking online and see square pillows with that perfect "V" in the middle. That is because someone karate chopped the middle of the pillow...creating the famous choppable pillow.
How to get it?
It is actually really easy. The trick is to buy pillow inserts that are 4-6 inches bigger than the cover itself. The insert overstuffs the pillowcase allowing you to the big CHOP! AND...they keep their shape.
This is a small detail that can really elevate bedding or the throw pillows on your couch.
Extra Tips
- I do not recommend buying decorative pillows that are already stuffed...buy the inserts and covers separately. Not only will it save you money it allows for the most customization.
- Already have a pillow cover and the insert is too small? Head over to Michaels and get some stuffing (big bags are about $4) and get the stuffing! That's what I did for the middle square pillow
