Bedroom study- Natural lighting gives you more energy, boosts productivity and keeps you focused which is why you should position your desk so it's facing bay windows that are in bedrooms. Honeycomb blinds are great for study areas because they can be pulled down to prevent sun glare with out blocking too much light. 

Kitchen cafe- If you enjoy eating breakfast in sunny space with a great view, consider putting a small round table by the window for a European cafe atmosphere. Then, dress the window with roman shades or valences to optimize lighting. 

Living room reading nook- Installing a cushioned bench under the window with vertical bookshelves on each end will give you a cozy place to read your favorite novels. You can then hang custom curtains and drapes across the top to create a room-within-a-room for more solitude and less distractions.
