A bay window can add character, natural light and extra space to any room. Whether it is in a living room, bedroom or dining area, the right design can make it both attractive and practical.

I am looking for ideas on how to make the most of a bay window. Would you recommend a comfortable window seat, fitted storage underneath, or a small reading corner? I would also love to hear suggestions for using the space without making the room feel crowded.

What bay window design ideas have worked best in your home?
