Depends on how much is sloped/indented. If a lot of sloped area the room will look a little tunnel-like. Have a 1«-story house; the Computer Room is upstairs with the sloped option (due to the roofline). The bottom of the slope is at about 5' in the main section. Hard to put up pictures, etc. I know your slope isn't going to be that much.

The junctions with the sloped par of the ceiling in here are noticeably wavey BUT it definately was not a professional job. The vertical walls are fine AFAICT (wallpapered) but the slope and ceiling are amateurish. As the contractor indicated, cannot use crown molding.
