Stylized Low Poly

I wanted to get some advice/assistance on a specific style I’ve seen that I would love to use. I find the classic “Roblox Low Poly Style” that is nothing but smooth plastic to be quite boring, played out, and just lacking. However, I’ve seen people throw in some textures in their games while keeping the low poly/cartoony vibe. I’ve left some reference photos below. They’re seamlessly able to throw these textures in with smooth plastic, keeping the cartoony style of the build. I think this is called stylized low poly.

My question is how should I go about doing this. The smooth plastic style choice is very important to the style, so how do you know which textures to use. Using too many textures I feel can drift it away from low poly/cartoony. Hope this makes sense, I would love some assistance or tips from anyone.
