Ornaments, berry balls, and wicker ornaments can also be incorporated into the base of most hanging light fixtures. For table lamps, you can take holiday berry vine or greenery and wrap it around the base of the lamp. You could even add some small metallic ornaments to the greenery to create an even more unique Christmas decoration.

Decorate Shelves or Mantles with Unique Accessories

The days of Christmas decorating with perfectly matched symmetric accessories has come and gone.

Put a candle next to a tall vase at one end and a silver reindeer with a small wooden Christmas tree at the other. As long as the Christmas shelf or holiday mantle has balance and harmony, use unique accessories to decorate your living space.
