Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Pinterest is the platform we use when we want to fantasise about our dream lives, and easily one of the site's most useful features is being able to design your dream house.

There are hundreds of thousands of boards dedicated to the perfect yard, living room, garage, and more.

We asked Pinterest to send us the most popular pictures of rooms, from the attic to the basement, and the result is basically like Barbie’s Dream House — but for grown ups.

Keep scrolling to see what everyone on Pinterest wants their house to look like.

Welcome to the Pinterest house of your dreams! This navy house is where many Pinterest users envision themselves.

But let's go inside. The dream Pinterest living room has tall ceilings, grey walls, and an open floor plan. The window into the backyard and deck is also a lovely touch.

This was the other most popular living room on Pinterest, but it has the same details — tall ceilings, grey walls, and an open floor plan. This one even has a double staircase, which is pretty fancy.

The dream dining room is all about mismatched chairs, candles, and elegant touches like the mirrored tray on the cabinet or the brass chandelier.

This other popular dining room is a little less cluttered. The hanging lantern above the table is a genius idea that enhances the cottage-feel of the home.

Moving into the kitchen, Pinners all want a rustic wood floor and large center island. We love that this one is a different colour than the surrounding white cabinets to make it pop.

White cabinets seem to be a major draw in the Pinterest dream kitchen as well as granite slabs for the counter tops. Plus, who wouldn't mind doing dishes with a view like this?

While many of these rooms are traditional, the dream Pinterest TV room is a lot more modern with a sleek white couch and acrylic panels.

And separate from the TV room, there should be a hang out basement with lots of activities, like a pool table and bar.

Another popular basement fixture is the media room or home theater. While many home theaters are filled with La-Z-Boy chairs, Pinners seem to like that this room is more conducive for eating and drinking.

And if you trick out your basement, you've got to remodel your attic, too! What's more Pinterest-worthy than an airy greige room complete with a swing?

The ultimate master bedroom in the eyes of Pinners has a chandelier and even a chair by the window to curl up in.

Pinners seem divided on their favorite style of bathroom. This popular Pin is a traditional, all-white bathroom with his and hers sinks.

While this other bathroom has a more rustic-yet-elegant feel to it with DIY touches like the wooden ladder and framed mirror.

Pinterest closets are also huge draws on the website. This popular walk-in closet is perfect for the shoe hoarder.

If you want to be productive in your Pinterest house, you can step into your very own home office. The chandelier is a necessary touch.

Outside, you need a cool garage where you can keep your Pinterest-worthy cars. This one is more like a small studio apartment than a place to park.

While this popular Pinterest garage looks like a neat freak's ultimate fantasy.

And finally, no dream house would be complete without a killer back garden. Some Pinners wanted a covered area with pool table and hang out space.
