Can I mix upholstery textures in a lounge seating arrangement?

Yes — mixing textures is a standard interior design technique for creating visually interesting and layered lounge areas. A common approach: pair a smooth leather or vinyl sofa with a textured woven fabric accent chair. Or combine a nubby tweed loveseat with smooth vinyl ottomans. The key is to stay within the same general color family (similar hues, different textures) or to use complementary colors (different hues, different textures with shared undertones). Mixing too many different textures AND too many different colors creates visual chaos. Keep either color or texture consistent while varying the other.
