Style File: Holiday Decorations

WSVN -- Trees, lights, color. It all brightens the season and a little creativity can take your style from ho-ho-hum to ho-ho-hot.

The best place to start is with the biggest eye catcher -- your holiday tree.

Karen Cohen: "Everybody loves driving around looking inside houses and seeing people's Christmas trees glowing."

The one at the Four Seasons Hotel in Miami shines with a South Florida feel.

Karen Cohen: "Go with a lot of turquoises that you see in Miami Beach and the old 1940's Miami buildings."

It's decked out in bold colored ornaments.

Karen Cohen: "The ornaments being in all shapes and sizes really adds to the tree."

And for extra sparkle the lights are wrapped inside the tree -- and on the branches.

If space is limited -- this metal tree may be the right fit -- just add some creative ribbons and shapes to give it a holiday flare.

Karen Cohen: "You can take that out every year and it's a modern simple look."

And no christmas is complete without the spirit of giving. And giving gifts means wrapping them first.

At paper concept in coral gables -- they use papers from all over the world such as batiks from the Phillipines and embroidered sheets from Egypt.

Giselle Marzo Segura: "Some papers are impactful by the shimmer in it. Maybe some other papers are impactful by the way that the print is on the paper."

Make a paper ribbon and mix and match different colors to maximize the package.

Giselle Marzo Segura: "You should definitely think about who is that you are giving a gift to."

And if at all possible try to add a special touch by personalizing it.

Giselle Marzo Segura: "Spend most of your time in selecting something that's going to make an impression and have a good impact."

As an added bonus at the Four Seasons, they customize christmas trees for hotel guests and residents staying during the holidays.
