DARK WOODS
Take a trip back in time with dark wood floors and free-standing furniture, such as this one-of-a kind butcher’s block island, which adds charm and personality as the perfect addition to a castle kitchen. @devolkitchens
ON-TREND TONES
Dark terracotta, red wine red or mocha chocolate brown painted over panelled wood, or two-toned, will add depth and fill the space with grandeur. @neptunehomeofficial
ORNATE WALLPAPER
Ornate wallpaper or a tapestry make your kitchen or dining room castle-esque. The heavy patterning and texture brings a warmth and richness to any room. Consider incorporating curtains or a textured rug to add to the allure. www.littlegreene.ie
A GRAND HOOD
This Victorian kitchen with high ceiling boasts a custom canopy hood and vintage mirror splashback that looks suitably grand. @oconnorsofdrumleck
SPECTACULAR SPLASHBACK
Speaking of splashbacks, they’re becoming a feature all their own, incorporating shelves and areas to display homeware. This scalloped splashback reminiscent of a crown or headboard that migrates to the tall, arched windows is the perfect shape for castle living. @theislaporter
ANTIQUE LIGHTING
Forego unforgiving overhead spot lighting or LEDs, and instead stick to pendant lights, antique chandeliers and candelabras for a homely vibe. @devolkitchens
DINING SPACE TO HOLD COURT
A dining area should have presence. A banquet table with high-backed chairs or long benches grounds the room, while flower arrangements add a splash of colour. www.newcastledesign.ie
WARMING DRAWER
Any contemporary castle needs a warming drawer to keep your plates and food hot. The Siemens IQ500 Warming drawer (60 x 14cm) is a narrow, compact easy open drawer that doesn’t take up room, fitting beside a standard-sized oven. This is your castle, you call the shots! www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com
