domed ceiling

Rounded interior roof

A domed ceiling is a ceiling shaped like the interior of a hemisphere or similarly curved vault, rising from walls to a central peak.

Domed ceilings create dramatic vertical space and often serve as architectural focal points in rotundas, capitols, and grand public buildings: The fresco covered the entire domed ceiling.

In homes, smaller domed ceilings may cap entryways or dining rooms.
