148. Let's Talk Designing for Energy & Well-Being: Holistic Interiors with Gala Magrina
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Gala Magrina — holistic interior designer; host of Going Beyond Spaces with Gala; creator of the Beyond Spaces methodology and a six-week online course for designers.
Gala traces her path from visual merchandising at Diesel to a holistic design practice rooted in meditation, modern feng shui, WELL, and Vastu. We unpack yin vs. yang rooms, the five elements in everyday selections, why science is finally catching up to ancient building wisdom, and how wellness real estate and client expectations have reshaped our work since 2020. Gala also shares a transparent, less-is-more billing philosophy that prioritizes healthy materials, reuse, and right-sizing over endless purchasing.
