“This Interior Designer Says Your Home Is Controlling Your Life! Here’s How”

Send us Fan Mail

Your space is doing something to you, whether you’ve named it or not. We sit down with Gala Magrina, an award-winning holistic interior designer and the host of Going Beyond Spaces, to talk about the hidden ways a room can support your clarity or quietly drain your energy.

We get into the real mechanics of wellness interior design and design psychology: how ceiling height can nudge creativity or focus, why certain colors can overstimulate a home, and how sharp angles versus soft curves can change the way your body settles. Gala also shares what her client process looks like when the goal is more than a pretty Pinterest reveal, including the deeper intake questions that uncover what a client actually needs from their home over the next 5 to 10 years.

Then we zoom out to “luxury” and ask a tougher question: what if the most high-end choices are the ones that improve your health? We talk natural light, automated shades, circadian rhythm lighting, indoor air quality, low-VOC materials, and why adding scent through HVAC can backfire. We also touch on modern feng shui, the roots of Vastu, and simple at-home steps you can take right now, starting with decluttering in a way that actually sticks.
