What is a cove ceiling?

A cove ceiling is a ceiling design where the surface of the ceiling curves gently upwards, creating a concave shape like that of a cove. This design resembles the inner surface of a seashell, hence the name "cove." The curve in the ceiling typically starts at the top of the wall and continues upward, creating a more spacious and open feel in the room while also adding visual interest to the ceiling. Cove ceilings are often painted white or another light color to make the room look brighter and more open.
