Castle building ideas for a survival world?

Finally gathered enough stone to build a proper castle in survival. I always end up with a big grey box though. How do you plan the layout and add depth so it actually looks like a castle?

build the walls first and the keep last. most survival castles end up as one big box because people start with the main building and run out of patience. put the outer wall up with towers at the corners, then fill the inside over time with a stable, a smithy, a well, a little chapel. deepslate for the base, stone brick above it, and spruce for anything wood. and give it a reason to exist, stick it on a cliff or at a river bend rather than flat ground
