I have (and keeping) the smaller size but decided I needed the larger size for my bedroom.  Very happy with it.  Whatever size you choose, it will look good in just about every room of the house which is another reason for owning it.  It would look good above a sofa, in a bathroom, bedroom, and even in a boutique shop or dining room.  The neutral color won't interfere with accent colors.  And this adds some chic sophistication without being formal.
