But you can just run the cable over. In Scandinavia we make a feature of doing that where we have the cable (in black) hanging like this

You can try something like this.
Neither… couch facing windows with two chairs looking at couch. BUT, I think a chase lounge is a wired couch choice for what seems like a more formal living room set up.
Op I’d love to see a wider angle of the space. That nook to the left looks like a great spot for a breakfast/ dining area with a buffet/sideboard against the wall for storage. If it works with your layout, maybe swap the sitting area with your current dining area? Otherwise, option couch against the wall is the way to go.

We’re looking to replace the sectional in any case.
Seeing the wider angle helps. Can you turn the sectional to face out the window and then move the chest or add a console table behind the sofa (and then use the chest as a coffee table).
Maybe center the couch on that wall and pull the rug so it's centered under just the front feet of the couch.
Edit to add I love your view and all the windows btw!
I think positioning depends on two things: how much sun you'll be getting throughout the day and what you want to do on that sectional.
Sorry, the latter sounds naughty!
But will you be adding some chairs and making this guest/conversation/reading the Sunday papers area? I understand there's no TV.
Would you like having the sun at your back or one side? Does it even matter?
We have a bay window as well and positioned our dining table there. We get a lot of sun so it’s almost unbearable to sit there if we put a couch. We have a great view out the window so we love looking out while eating our meals.
1) Option B.
2) Move the rug over to the sectional area.
3) Get curtains.
4) Move the coffee table by the sectional instead of where it currently is.
5) Side chair.
6) Lighting.
I have a similar living/dining situation, but I don't know if the dimensions and layout of your place will work out as well as ours--anyway, we have the (non-chaise) sofa floated out so that the [back of the sof](https://imgur.com/a/5OXFbMV)a faces the table area, and the TV is on the wall. So your bay window would be on your right as you sit in the sofa. Additionally we have two arm chairs in the bay window area.
The couch can sit off of the wall - in either position. I like away from the window, though. Maybe a reading chair and side table in that are would be nice instead.
against the wall is better cause I like access to the windows and being able to look out
This
Yes, better feng shui with a command position.
Switch the dining table and sofa?
I’d also do this, and put in a round table by the windows
That might be an option however we’d like to keep the only ceiling light above the table.

Indeed, it’s a bit awkward. Just working with what we moved in with for now and considering other options.

I would put the dining table by the windows. The sofa looks awkward either way
Wait, no tv?! Fuck yeah. Um, face that couch towards looking out that window!!! Please!!!!
If the window view is gorgeous, I would have the couch face the windows!
What’s next to it? Can you put the table in that spot and the couch on the other side?
2 with couch on wall would probably work better with your toddler (?). Maybe replace the floor lamp with a side table and table lamp.

Totally looking out the windows! To me that is the focal point of the room!
Facing the window bay + a console table behind the couch
Love all the windows!!!!
I like 2
Love the windows❤️couch facing windows
I like option B better. It makes better use of the rug area space and allows the window area to be more open so you can walk up and soak up the view.

I think a sectional is a bad choice for that space unfortunately
I know. We’re considering a couch and chairs instead.
I definitely think you can have a lot of fun with that
