According to colour psychologists, orange is associated with reassurance and warmth – perfect for a small person’s bedroom. Even better, it’s unisex. If you are sticking with one colour, use lots of different shades and keep the walls simple. Donna Wilson knitted creatures, a retro bedside table, a 70s-style animal sticker from Urbane Living and a plastic Heico rabbit lamp from Petit Home complete the cosy look.Photograph: Photoshot/Red Cover/Trine ThorsenGinge knitted lambswool cat, £36, by Donna Wilson.Photograph: PRBarnslig Rand rug in red, £10.20, from Ikea.Photograph: PR

The small chair is from Ikea – now discontinued, but the stripey Färgglad chair is similar. The black and white fabric is also from Ikea, Britten Hus, and the plastic Bambi lamp on the floor is from Caravan.
