The two styles of rustic wren birdhouses ...

There are essentially two different types of rustic wren birdhouses:  the Japanese type and the American folk style type.  Which one of these two types of rustic wren birdhouses will look best in your garden is largely a matter of taste.

Japanese wren birdhouses tend to be made of very old weathered wood and are part of a Japanese aesthetic style that honours all things old and overgrown   Some of these Asian inspired rustic wren birdhouses also resemble the design of stone Chinese lanterns.  The American folk style wren houses are single cavities that resemble little wooden shacks or log cabins from pioneer days.

Asian style wren houses best suit a garden that is more natural or overgrown such as the Sui Japanese garden which also features a mossy pond and draping willow trees.  The American style better suits the traditional American backyard with its neat mowed grass and formal flowerbeds.
