coved
With rounded corners
Coved describes a surface with a concave curve, especially where a wall meets a ceiling.
A coved ceiling has rounded edges rather than sharp corners, creating a gentle transition: The coved molding softened the room's angles.
The term comes from cove, an architectural feature—a concave molding or arched recess.
