Explanation:
Creo que "prescribir" lo están usando en el sentido de "recomendar", puesto que los artículos de decoración no se recetan. Normalmente un decorador de interiores asesora al comprador :)

Explanation:

neutral  philgoddard: I think this is closer to what the Spanish says, but "more accurate" implies that they're giving inaccurate advice.
