A

Armory/Weaponry: A room to store all your weapons and armor.

Art museum: Build a museum to show of your paintings collection. Place some of your own art to like statues, statues of mobs or your own skin, pixel art, etc.

B

Bathroom: A room to wash yourself after a hard day of working.

Bedroom: A room to place your bed in. Sleeping in a bed resets your spawn point to the last bed you slept in. Put beds in all bases to easily transfer primary bases. Make sure your wals are 2 blocks wide or monsters will spawn in the bedroom. Building underground or in the sky will also prevent this.

Brewery: The room where you brew potions. This room needs a few brewing stands, some cauldrons and some chests with ingredients and potions.

Block museum: A museum containing every solid block in Minecraft.

Bunker: A room where you can flee in if there are many hostile mobs in your house or other players in multiplayer. Make sure you can only open and close the bunker from the inside. A bunker is made of a strong material like obsidian. Also there must be a crafing tabel, a furnace, a chest with the basic items (food, tools, weapens, crafting materials...) and a bed. It also has to have a high interior luminosity to avoid monsters spawning inside.

C

Cactus farm: A cactus farm isn't that usefull like other farms. However, cactus farms are easy to build and it's a good use for walls, mob traps or other defensive purposes.

Cat kennel: A small perk with all your Cats and some chests with food. Don't forget to make the wolves sit so they don't teleport to you when you're exploring.

Crafting room: The basic room for a Minecraft house. A crafting room contains (obviously) a crafting table, atleast 1 furnace and chests with the basic crafting materials. It's a good idea to make this room near you're mine, furnace room and storage rooms.

Chicken coop: A chicken coop provides a source of eggs. Off course you need chickens. Throwings eggs on the ground will have a 1/8 chance to spawn a chicken. After you have 2 chickens, it is easier to breed them with weath.

Cobblestone generator room: A cobblestone generator provides a safe and fast way to gather cobblestone. They typically involve mixing water and lava.

D

Doorbell: When players want to visit your house they can push on a button to let the note block play a sound, and you can make this more sophisticated making chimes or even a whole song that play upon entering. Pressure plates can work as well but annoying pigs can constantly walk over them.

E

Enchanting room: this room should have an Enchantment table and chests with your encanted tools and weapons.

Escape tunnel: If there are hostile mobs in your house you can easely escape with an escape tunnel. It's always better to have more then 1 entrances/exits in your house.

F

G

Garden: A garden to relax in with flowers, tree's, hedges and maybe a small pond.

Gravel-to-flint room: Once you have many stacks of gravel, it can be useful to convert most of your gravel into flints. This is just a big empty room, which you fill with gravel. Keep replacing and destroying the gravel until it drops as a flint. This room may include a chest with shovels, as well as ingredients and a crafting table for quick production of arrows and flint and steel.

Graveyard: Every time you die you make a new tombstone with a sign. The sign tells when and where you died and how.

H

Harbor: If you find yourself using boats in a general area often, making a dock or two is a good idea. They can help prevent your boats from drifting off into the ocean, or slamming into a wall when you exit, thus breaking the boat. Dispensers can also be placed here and filled with boats for convenience.

Herobrine altar: An underground altar made out of Nether materials to worship the Herobrine and sacrifice pigs.

Mushroom farm: A big room with flat floor. You can light your farm by torches or glowstone, placed on ceiling, to prevent mobs from appearing. Just make sure that there are no places on the floor where the light level is greater than 12 so the mushrooms can spread themselves. Alternatively, find a small cave or make one, put some mushrooms inside and completely seal it off without torches and check on it/clean it out. Also provides the drops from hostile mobs.

The platform is usually surrounded by a building for people to spectate. The goal is to destroy blocks on the platform near or under the opponent to cause them to fall.
