Struggling with photorealism with this render, can anyone help?

SketchUp's Real-Time Rendering Moment: Lumion View, AI Render, and the End of the Export Workflow

SketchUp 2025–2026 has added native PBR materials, AI image generation, and real-time rendering plugins like Lumion View, letting archviz artists produce photorealistic images without leaving the viewport. This collapses the traditional design-to-render pipeline.

Struggling with photorealism with this render, can anyone help?

I tried all sorts of things to make this look realistic but this still looks like render, it still has that render-y feel to it which I don't like. I tried changing materials, played around with lighting, changed hdris and changed whole models but still nothing helps. I think the pillow makes it really unrealistic and maybe some materials but I think you guys can point it out better than me. Thanks!
