There are a lot of different styles out there and cool homes use these different styles. One style that I really like is the Japanese theme. This is because they are so simple but have that appeal that makes you just want to take a picture of it and use the photo as a template to use in decorating your home.
Rental Decorating has an article about this style and you can read it
here. A part of which reads: "Japanese culture seeks to balance opposites in all aspects of life (yin and yang), and interiors are no exception. Interior finishes can be highly opposing and contrasting, and yet achieve balance. Examples are, highly polished floors with heavily textured mats, a lacquered box displayed on top of a rough wooden table, or white pebbles on a polished black granite ledge around a tub."
Sure, the article may not exactly give you an idea where to find
garden statues to fit a Japanese theme, but it sure is very informative and enlightening.
