Coving a slightly sloped ceiling

KAGY

Hi all,
I have a awkward sloped ceiling in our landing that I'm trying to cove (using the polyurethane coving) If you look at the attached pic you'll see that the ceiling slopes a bit before hitting the dormer ceiling proper. Unfortunately, the door under it really shows this up when especially when I hold up the coving.

The top line in the pic is parallel with the door frame and the bottom parallel with the ceiling.
Any ideas on how to tackle this?
Twist the coving? Or cut it lengthwise and try to blend it?
Hope someone has had some experience with this,
Karl

Can you finish the coving like the photo below? Just bring coving an inch or so before the slope?

I was thinking that. That's what I've done in the hall but it looks funny halfway along a wall. I ended up taking a long thin wedge out. Should look okay once I blend it in.

Looks good to me.

I'm legally obliged to say it was Mrs kagy's idea. :-)
