We just moved into a new apartment with a great bay window, but don't know how to use it. This space will be our living room and dining room. The kitchen comes off to the right of the floor plan, opening into the room, so we need to fit a large rectangular dining table on the right. Other than that, we were thinking an L-shaped couch and a TV somewhere.

But what to do with that Bay Window area? The windows start about a foot and a half off the ground and we don't want to obstruct the light with a desk. Maybe pillows and floor mats?

Any thoughts?
