I always like seeing blocks like bricks, sponges, diorite, granite, magma, gravel, netherrack, endstone, just blocks that are rarely used for building, being used. I think they can look great when mixed with the right blocks, and I want to know if anybody else thinks the same way.
A good example is using granite in nether themed builds, I think it blends really well with the blocks.
Bricks, are used quite often for big house projects, and fit well in certain palates. More useful are brick stairs and slabs, mostly for window decoration and parts of highly slanted roofs.
Every block can look good if your placement is clever enough.

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.
I make my castles out of iron blocks, with lapis blocks for the roof.

"Most plans are critically flawed by their own logic. A failure at any step will ruin everything after it. That's just basic cause and effect. It's easy for a good plan to fall apart. Therefore, a plan that has no attachment to logic cannot be stopped. The success or failure of any given step will have no impact on the macro level."

I'm building my entire city* mainly out of polished diorite, andesite and granite purely because there's no use for them. The floors are still wood though.
*Not actually a city, just a few buildings to make the place look appealing to people because they've been complaining that a canal shouldn't just be some guy's homestead but have more of a design to it

I don't know if this is unpopular, but I usually use diorite for the floors of my houses, if that counts.

I use Sponges
I keep trying to find a good way to use red nether bricks, but they are so unnatural looking. Hard to build with.
