For interior designers: mixing woods?

i have to do a scholarship project for interior design, i need to design an entire home and i have been sticking with light floors throughout the house but both bedrooms have dark wood, bathroom has cherry on window frames, living room has dark wood like the bedrooms, and the dining room and kitchen cabinets have light wood. is it okay to have different wood colors for different rooms? or should it be the same throughout the house. if it helps, im trying to use all eco friendly material. thanks

1. not an interior designer, but would stick with all the same would throughout the entire house.
2. same material
3. You can mix up to five wood tones in the same area as long as you don't go from heavy grains, such as oak, to light grains, such as maple. It's okay to mix the wood finishes throughout the home - most people don't want the house to be the same all the way through - add some diversity!! That's what makes a designer's touch - we're not afraid to make bolder statements!!! Way to go on the ecofriendly - our store is 80% made in America and 75% ecofriendly!!
