painted ceiling

Adorned room top

A painted ceiling is a ceiling decorated with artwork, ranging from simple decorative patterns to elaborate murals or frescoes.

The term often evokes Renaissance masterworks like the Sistine Chapel, but applies equally to modest domestic ornamentation: The Victorian house had a painted ceiling in the parlor with clouds and cherubs.
