Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Newly launched Fashion4Home (fashion4home.com) is setting out to democratize interior design.

After several fashion designers including Dolce & Gabbana have repeatedly called on their social media followers for feedback and design input, Fashion4Home is opening its gates to the public on a grander scale.

The new platform - specializing in innovative but universally appealing furniture - is based on interactive features, letting the community vote on each product design: visitors to the site can share their favorite (or least favorite) items via Facebook or Twitter, telling others exactly what they love or hate about them, providing instant feedback to the designers and directly impacting on production.

Later on, shoppers receive a 10 percent discount on the furniture they voted on.

The concept, which has been integrated in similar ways into clothing e-commerce, is the logical development of the opinion of bloggers impacting on stock ranges.
