Description: Send us Fan MailYour 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.If you enjoyed this conversation, subscribe, share it with a design-loving friend, and leave a review so more people can find iDesign Lab.
