Meet Cheryl Payne, the designer behind My Secret Dwelling.

For Cheryl, interior design is about more than how a space looks. It's also about the conversations that help her understand what matters to her clients and how they want to feel in their spaces.

Here's a little more about the thinking behind her work.

Follow along for more of the stories and ideas behind My Secret Dwelling.

Nature can show up in a room in ways that go beyond plants.

In this sunroom, natural light, leaf-shaped light fixtures, and carefully chosen colors and textures create a connection to the outdoors. Each detail has a purpose, and together they give the space its character.

Natural Intent is a reminder that the feeling of a room is shaped by the
choices within it.

Which detail catches your eye first?

What sets My Secret Dwelling apart?

Designing goes beyond the elements in the room. Design includes the experience to achieve the look and feel which are discussed throughout the design process. Our clients are seen, heard and considered.

We leaned into vibrant saturated pinks, teals, and yellows to create a space that radiates energy.

By pairing custom canvas backdrops with bright white walls, we achieved a perfect balance of bold and subtle. The result: A room filled with sunshine, affirmation and love-grounded by a plush, teal flower rug for style and comfort.

The secret is…

Your home should do more than look good.
It should feel like a deep breath.

A place that holds you when the world is loud.
Comfort. Safety. Welcome. Retreat.

That's the difference between decorating a space and designing one.

Decoration fills a room.
Design fills a need.

When you close your door at the end of the day, your home should meet you where you are - a place to be refreshed, renewed, and simply… still.

That's what we design for.
Not a showroom. Not a trend.

A dwelling that restores you.

What does "home" feel like to you? Let us know in the comments.

Meet Cheryl Payne, the founder and principal designer behind My Secret Dwelling.

Our company name is rooted in something deeper than design. It started with a scripture, a single word, and an unshakable feeling.

Dwells.

This is a place where you truly abide. A place that not only feels like home but is a reflection of you. This idea shapes everything we do.

At My Secret Dwelling, we don't only design spaces that look aesthetically pleasing. We design them to feel like yours - spaces that reflect your attitudes, honor your wishes, and embody your personality.

From full remodels to consultations, every project starts with listening. Your vision comes first. We just help you bring it to life.

Based in Wilmington, Delaware and serving clients across the Northeast and beyond, we can't wait to show you what we've been working on.
