he added saying they look better slightly &#8216;askew&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Preston said a &#8216;super easy&#8217; way to start layering rugs is to use either a sisal or jute rug as the base.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, the designer said to get rid of &#8216;boob lights&#8217;, a dome-shaped ceiling sconce [wall-mounted light] many consider to now be outdated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Preston gave a series of more modern options saying those wanting to replace the outdated light should go for &#8216;flush mount or semi flush mount lighting&#8217;.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If you&#8217;re a renter, take down the boob, put up your light and replace it before you leave,&#8217;
