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.

Check out second-hand shops and catering specialists for free- standing pieces, but make sure they complement each other and that they will work in your space . It's easy to put up plate racks, hanging rails and shelves with rows of books underneath, and look out for versatile items such as a butcher's block on wheels, corner cupboards and chests with lots of small draws. Don't forget that office furniture can often be adapted for kitchen storage, and add comfy chairs, plants, paintings and attractive lighting for a friendly, lived-in look.

Good books include: The Art of Kitchen Design, by Johnny Grey (Cassell, pounds 18.99); The Kitchen Book, by Sir Terence Conran (Conran Octopus, pounds 17.99).
