Buying Guide

Should table lamps match in a living room?

While the table lamps don’t need to be identical throughout your living room, there needs to be a common element that ties them together. This can be color or style, so if you choose to use only Lenox table lamps in your living room, you have the freedom to vary the color of the lampshades because they share a similar aesthetic.

To create a cohesive look that plays on a Lenox table lamp’s traditional aesthetic, use matching pieces. You can place a pair of matching table lamps on either end of a credenza or living room console for a grand statement. However, if you have a rustic farmhouse or boho living space, consider placing two different yet coordinated Lenox table lamps on side tables at either end of your sofa to create a dynamic interior.

The beauty of Lenox lamps is that they come in classic and contemporary varieties, so you can choose a style of lamp shade that complements the style of your home.

Can I leave a table lamp on overnight?

You can leave a Lenox table lamp on overnight if the light bulb remains cool to the touch during long-term use. Low-wattage LED bulbs are best for this purpose, but other styles, such as CFlLs, also have low heat emissions. Bring your hand close to the bulb to check for heat after several consecutive hours of use before assessing whether it is safe to use all night.

Keep in mind that the lampshade that comes with the lamp must be designed for safety and fire resistance. Replacing this lampshade with a cheap paper or fabric lampshade from an untrusted source can increase the fire risk. For even greater safety, consider using a glass lampshade.

What decor styles match Lenox table lamps?

The best decor style for a Lenox table lamp partly depends on the amount of detail on the lamp, but generally, they work best with a traditional decor style and light colors. This is because they are often ivory in color with detailing inspired by lace, crown molding, and other elements of French Country or English Country decor styles.

The flowing silhouette and floral iconography of Lenox table lamps add softness to contemporary rooms as well. However, this only works well for simple Lenox table lamps with minimal coloring or detailing. You will also need to ensure the lamp is closer to white than ivory; otherwise, it will look outdated and out of place in a modern home.
