Paint the vertical sections the same color as the walls. This gives the illusion of more height and also accentuates an interesting feature.

I hope this helps. Len IPC Any questions call me 352-205-8213

What did you end up doing?

You can also consider painting the vertical walls 1-2 shades darker than the room walls, leaving the ceiling the original ceiling color, if you decide to do crown molding, the color contrasts really pop.

You could also install a mirror :)

I haven't thought of mirrors on my ceiling since my mid 20's! I will think about this now again. Hmmmmmm...

baileysdad, would love to see a photo of how your verticals turned out.

We added crown molding along the top and bottom and then rope lighting behind the lower molding. We painted the same color as the walls between the upper and lower molding.
