Hello Karen, You would need to make an arch former out of timber, that fits exactly and fix it to the walls and plasterboard both sides, and skim coat with plaster, then trim the whole doorway with timber or brick slips. Or you could just Pin an arch to top and both sides of wooden door trim as is. and fill gaps with insulation and Plasterboard and use something decorative as an accent. How that is of some help......
