Gala Magriñá is a conscious designer and holistic interiors expert. She has more than 15 years of interior design experience, but her true calling lies in empowering the masses to explore the emotional and energetic layers of their environments. Inspired by her own holistic wellness journey, she has developed a transformative approach that helps clients clear the emotional “clutter” many of us hold onto, creating space for personal growth and fulfillment. Here are her insights on how to put your best foot forward in 2025.
- Dig Deeper: Our homes are mirrors of our holistic selves—our past, our present, and our aspirations for the future. Before you begin de-cluttering, determine the type of person you are presently and envision the person you want to become.
- Start Re-freshed: Coming home with a refreshed perspective allows you to see your space more clearly and recognize what you truly missed—and what you didn’t. If you’re fortunate enough to recharge over the holidays, use that newfound clarity to thoughtfully edit your surroundings.
- Unpack: We like to use the Marie Kondo method to sort clutter. When you hold something, ask: “Does it spark joy?” If the answer is no, set it into your maybe pile. Anything that you love, we empower you to keep.
- Re-Examine: Revisit your “maybe” pile with intention. Do these items serve your daily life, keep you productive, or support your goals? As you sift through, think about the person you’re striving to become and hold onto what actively supports your growth.
- Let Go: De-cluttering can be an emotional process, and that’s a sign you’re doing it right. Acknowledge that the items you’re releasing have fulfilled their purpose, but they no longer need to stay with you. By letting go, you’re creating space for the next chapter of your best self. Reflect on this process with gratitude and clarity.
