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.

This season, take inspiration from around the globe and create a tropical or safari-inspired interior scheme in your home with exotic motifs, tropical prints and citrus shades.

To update your home with minimal effort, focus on smaller accessories, such as cushions. Choose exotic animal motifs for a Safari-inspired look. Global design brand, Andrew Martin has recently launched Expedition; a stylish collection of fabrics, inspired by travel, colour and pattern. Consisting of ikats, kilims and animal motifs, the collection is hand woven in Britain. Opt for the Kingdom cushion in Paradise, featuring giraffes and elephants in a vivid shade of pink to make a strong style statement.

For a tropical theme, opt for bright colours and bold prints. Inject a sense of fun into your home with Ananas Mango curtains from online curtain retailer, Curtains.com. Made from 100 per cent cotton and with a quirky pineapple print, these make it feel like summer all year around. Alternatively, invest in Sofa Workshop’s Petite Marguerite in Tulipan, a botanical print chair featuring boldly coloured flowering tulips and darting butterflies.

Consider colour scheme and choose statement pieces in zesty tones of yellow, orange and green. Inspired by the soft waves of the coastline but in vibrant yellow, the mini Carmina in Sahara has a tropical feel and delivers high impact.

To get a touch of the tropics in your bathroom, add towels in citrus shades. Updating your towels is a simple and cost-effective way to refresh your bathroom. Lexington original towels in soft orange are made from 100 per cent terry cotton and add a pop of colour to a neutral bathroom.
