domed ceilings
Rounded room tops
Domed ceilings are curved overhead surfaces that rise in an arched or hemispherical shape rather than lying flat.
Common in grand architecture—cathedrals, capitol buildings, observatories—they create a sense of height and openness: The domed ceiling of the rotunda soared above us.
In homes, a domed ceiling may crown a foyer or dining room as a decorative feature.
