Here's an example of what I mean by not looking generic! http://www.casablancafanco.com/product/period_decor/marrakesh/marrakesh_89073m_hi.html This is the casablanca marrakesh fan. In sTandard configuration it's listed as 14" from ceiling to the lowest part of the fan. I've seen low profile kits (shorter installation poles) advertised, I wonder if this might work if I could get a fan like this to mount closer to the ceiling. BTW, I know I'll lose some effectiveness, but now I have have no fan, so it can't be any worse!

I don't think fans in different rooms have to match each other, any more than light fixtures need to match in different rooms. I definitely would get a larger fan for the larger room. And my opinion on ceiling fans is that unless you really want it to be a design feature in the room, get white, so it blends into the ceiling -- if indeed you have a white ceiling. We have a beach house where we put ceiling fans in each of the bedrooms. Because the rooms are all different in size, only two are the same. All are white except for the master, because I just couldn't find a white fan that I liked for that room, AND the ceiling in that room is not white (the other rooms do have white ceilings). Our ceiling is a very pale blue gray, and the fan is a matte silvery finish, which I think blends with the ceiling better than a white fan would.
