Yes or No: glossy paint on textured bathroom walls?

I have orange peel walls, which are standard out here. I dont know that I've ever seen smooth walls here in the PNW even in super luxury, high end homes.

Our downstairs powder room is being painted a dark taupe color. What sheen should I use?

Throughout the rest of the house we went with a matte finish as I wanted to minimize the look of the wall texture and used BM aura so that the walls could be both very matte AND washable. As it happens though, I have a gallon of BM aura Satin in the right color (planned to use it for trim but changed mind). Will satin textured walls look gross? It will save me $60, but if it will look awful I'd rather just go out and get a gallon in matte finish.

I do want the powder room to look sort of fancy. Planning on putting up a peacock print and some pretty peacock/paisley hand towlels, metallic soap dispenser, etc.

Your thoughts?
