I would encase the bulk head in moulding.

Skip any of that. It’s completely wrong for your more modern style home.

Not an exact photo but to give you an idea. See how they have wrapped the drop down. I would wrap the buik head in the same manner then carry the moulding down the wall. The crown would be wrapped around the entire room at the same level. The other walls would have moulding as well just without the bulk head. The wall portion below the bulk head would match the other walls.

Also I would not do a dentil moulding. Keep it simple. Based on the little bit of your home I can see, base boards and door casing the formal moulding you have pictures will not go with your home style. Simple is best here.
