Ivan MacKenzie.

Most times, a 3-way circuit is considered "wired properly" as long as both switches will turn the light on and off independently. But aesthetically speaking you wire it so that they're both up or both down when the lights are off.

If the lights are on when the switch positions are the same, simply swap the runners (the ones not on the black screw) at ONE switch, not both.
