Welcome to Little Red Industries

I'm Natasha Dickins, a content producer and DIY specialist.

Little Red Industries is where my career as a magazine editor, journalist and TV presenter combines a love of good design with home improvement, renovating and furniture making experience. 

While I create modern living solutions, I can also fix a wonky kitchen door and transform an old chair with instant style. And I show you how to DIY through my well-crafted stories. 

Step into my fully-kitted out workshop, roll up your sleeves and let’s make it together!

How to renovate

Rendering made easy 

Rendering has a reputation of being tricky, but having the right products helps achieve a professional finish.

COLOUR ME UP

When I couldn’t decide on a the best colour to tint a woodworking project, I made some Stain & Varnish samples as a guide.

From Merbau to Walnut, they look so good it’s still hard to choose!

ON THE COVER

When Bunnings Magazine asked if I could build a modular seat with matching planter boxes that could be positioned together in different configurations, it took some planning.

But they look so good that the project ended up on the cover! Click through for the full step-by-step instructions to DIY.

And take a look at how I adapted the prototype by adding a splash of colour.

Let’s collaborate on integrating your brand into genuine hands-on home improvement, renovating, building and decorating content. 

While I showcase products in-situ as good-value essentials for everyday DIYers and decorators, I also photograph the steps and write the instructions to prove how simple they are to use.

The result is well-produced, accessible assets for publishing across your marketing channels.
