How do you choose materials with different textures for an interior architecture project?

As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences. But as for the process of choosing materials with different textures for an interior architecture project, here are some guidelines to follow:

1. Consider the function of the space - The function of the space will determine the materials you select. For instance, a hospital ward will require cleanable and hygienic materials, while a residential space might need a warm, cozy feel.

2. Develop a scheme - Develop a color and texture scheme for the project. Select the primary color, secondary colors, and accent colors.

3. Create a material palette - Start selecting primary materials such as flooring, wall claddings, and ceiling materials. Choose a combination of materials that complement one another in texture.

4. Mix it up - Don’t be afraid to mix materials with different textures, such as combining a smooth floor with a textured rug, or combining fabric upholstery with a leather accent chair.

5. Test the samples - Always get samples of materials you’re considering and try them out in the actual space to get a better idea of how they work together.

6. Consider lighting - The amount and direction of light in the space will impact how the materials look and feel, so be sure to factor this into your decision-making.

7. Prioritize functionality - While it’s important that the materials you use look great, you must prioritize functionality. The materials you select should purposefully meet the needs of the project while fulfilling the aesthetic requirements.
