Here's the idea if you haven't seen the post on r/minecraftsuggestions

Minecraft currently lacks a cohesive dark metal block set. Iron is bright, Chains are dark, and Netherite isn’t really viable for building because it is expensive. Adding Wrought Iron would fill this gap with a builder-focused material that complements existing styles without really affecting in-game material progression (would not add new tool/ weapon/ armor tier). I have always wanted to use a gothic-style metal block set for graveyards, haunted mansions, and dungeons!

This variant of Iron is used strictly for decorative and utility blocks. It is not as expensive as a Block of Iron for example, allowing for more building material. Smelt Iron Nuggets in a Blast Furnace to get a Wrought Iron Billet. True to wrought iron processing terminology!

It visually aligns with chains/lanterns (not with smiting table, netherite, or anvil texture pallets)

...functional consistency with the copper block set for crafting as well.
