What to do with window wells?



I am trying to come up with an idea for some cute ways to decorate them. Most get indirect sunlight and a few get no sunlight at all.
I have been considering adding some rock and some succulents. Should I paint the metal? If so, what color?
I'd love some ideas. I'm truly at a loss. I don't mind using artificial plants for those window wells which get very little or no sun.
I'm not super crafty but I do like plants and I have an artist background. Please post pictures and ideas.
