Your Bay window is now a cozy seating/reading corner

Add some seating, put in some cushions, hang statement lights. Do not forget to dress your windows stylishly. Install window treatments like plantation shutter, this will make the bay window the focal point. You can design the bay space with books or even as a storage space. 

Add a little drama with valances
