I Manifested My Dream Home…Using Color Therapy!
Here’s how I did it and four key Law of Attraction principles that you can supercharge with color.

Ever since I can remember, I have wanted to live in a typical chocolate box cottage, with roses around the door and a separate studio where I could paint and draw til my heart’s content.
Just under three weeks ago I moved out of my flat in London and into this dream home.
In this post I’m sharing what I did to manifest not one, but two amazing properties and how the Universe stepped in to show me what my soul really wanted.
We’ll explore four key manifesting principles and how to amplify them with color therapy:
• Get clear and (very) specific!
• Write it down!
• Get into alignment!
• Keep calm and trust The Universe!
I’m sure you’re eager to find out how you can start using color therapy to manifest your dream home (or anything else!) so grab a cuppa and settle in - there’s a lot to cover!
Get clear and (very) specific!
The Universe LOVES specificity. Think about it - if you went to a restaurant and just asked for ‘food’, how would the server know what to bring you?
Manifesting works the same way - you can’t just ask for your ‘dream home’. How does the Universe know what that is? You need to be specific about what you want.
As I said, I’d been dreaming of owning a pretty country cottage since I was knee high to a grasshopper and I knew all the details of what this looked like: a timber-framed thatch with roses around the door, set back from the road with a a gravel drive and a five-bar gate. A south-facing wrap-around garden overlooking fields and a separate outbuilding to use as an art studio. Inside I wanted a big inglenook with a log burner, a butler sink, a separate utility room, and those little curly handles on all the windows.

The key with this part is to not limit yourself. If you want a swimming pool in the shape of a dolphin with gold tiles, or a mile-long driveway lined with olive trees, then put it out there!
It may seem utterly unachievable but remember - the ‘how’ is not up to you! So dream as big as you want to, just make sure you’re being true to yourself.
My ideal home is modest in comparison to the above examples but that is what I love - simple luxury.
Mentally visualising it in vivid technicolor really helps to embed your vision into your subconscious. Every time you do this practice, turn up the saturation some more - picture it like a scene from The Wizard of Oz. Remember when Dorothy first arrives and is agog at how everything is so bright and vibrant? That’s how you want your image to make you feel!
Write it down!
People who write down their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them than people who don’t.
Once you are clear on what you want and know the specifics, get it all down on paper! Scripting has become my preferred tool for manifesting and I use color therapy to amplify its power.
The act of writing down your intentions (yes, actual writing, not typing!) in a detailed and specific way not only helps you to clarify and focus on what you truly want but also ingrains it into your unconscious mind. You can go really deep with scripting and pinpoint what you want with laser-like precision.
As red is the best color for manifesting a new home, I took to my red journal to script out my requirements: by encasing the words with the energy of the associated color you are intensifying them. Writing with a red pen can further enhance the process.

Using color in this way also forges a stronger emotional connection. Writing out your desires in detail, and in the corresponding color, can help evoke strong feelings connected with achieving those goals. Emotions play a key role in the manifestation process, so feeling good while scripting can amplify the power of your intentions.
Get into alignment!
Being in energetic alignment with your desires is another essential part of the manifestation process. In order to attract what you want you must first be on the same wavelength, vibrating at the same frequency.
One way to do this is by clearing any blockages from your chakra system and ensuring that each energy centre is well balanced. The root chakra (muladhara), located at the base of the spine, is associated with the earth element. It governs anything that pertains to safety, security and groundedness - thus it is the energy centre to work with when manifesting a new home.
Its representative color is red so I consciously began to bring more red into my environment to ensure I had a strong emotional foundation. This meant wearing more red clothing, eating more red foods (a berry smoothie is a good daily habit!) and dotting red crystals and other items around my space so that I could visually and energetically connect on a daily basis.
Knowing what I wanted and how I wanted to feel in my new home, I was able to infuse my meditations and visualisations with red energy, imagining being surrounded by a red bubble of light.
By feeling safe and secure in your current home you are able to carry that energy forward into your next one.
Keep calm and trust The Universe!
Ok, this is probably the trickiest part of manifesting.
Letting go and trusting that your manifestations will come at some point is hard because naturally as humans we like to have control over our lives. This is where we have to get out of our heads and into the heart, which means working with the energy of green.
In late 2023, I fell in love with a property that was nothing like what I had originally written down and in a part of the country I didn’t really know. Financially it was a no-brainer and logic convinced me that this was the right move.
However, what is meant for you will always be easy and if it’s not - well that’s a major red light! After 3 months of to-ing and fro-ing between vendors, solicitors and agents, I reluctantly pulled out of the purchase because of ongoing issues with planning.
Despite the disappointment, the very real possibility of losing my buyer (who had been patiently waiting for months!) and remaining in London, I stayed calm, let go and accepted whatever was to happen. Deep in my heart I knew something even better was coming - and four days later it did!
I had extended my search area and increased my maximum budget to improve my chances of finding something and upon resuming my search, there it was: my picture perfect dream home, with everything I had scripted and more!
I knew instantly it was The One. Green light.
Even though the asking price was more than I wanted to spend I booked a viewing. Miraculously overnight it dropped by a whopping £35k, meaning it was now way more affordable. Green light.
I put in an offer the same day I viewed it and, after a little negotiation, I had it accepted. All within a week of losing the other one. Massive green light.
During the conveyancing process - a notoriously stressful time - color therapy helped me stay calm and centred. I spent a lot of time in nature to harness the energy of green. This allowed me to connect to and open my heart chakra, stay balanced and focussed on the abundance of joy that was coming.
Maintaining my grounding practices and also taking aligned and right action by working with yet more red, meant that everything went as smoothly and as quickly as possible.
It may have taken two years (and three different estate agents!) from when I first marketed my property but everything happens exactly when it is supposed to and the way it is supposed to*. Trust the process.
Using color consciously can help you stay emotionally and energetically balanced, release blocks and raise your vibration - and it makes manifesting a breeze! If you’d like to go deeper, I invite you to discover your Soul Colour so you can manifest like a pro every day.
Take your life from ‘meh’ to magical.

*The irony is that the home I ended up buying actually came on to the market around the same time as I accepted an offer on mine. If I had stuck to my original wishlist and listened to my heart not my head, I probably could’ve moved a lot sooner. But The Universe likes to test you - by showing me something else that I thought I wanted in the moment, I discovered what my soul really wanted all along.
