I have a bay window that I want to find curtains for. I have an L shape red leather sofa, black gloss TV stand, a black leather coffee table, riverside oak laminate flooring and a beige, red, brown colour rug. Any ideas on the colour of the curtains I should use? I'm finding it very difficult to choose.

Definitely a neutral with all the colour you already have in there. A stark white in a simple style (side falls with a swag) will suit beautifully, for example, if you have a very contemporary furniture style - it will 'frame and finish' the look and feel of the room. Dramatic and very handsome.
Cream or ivory in either a country (cafe tiers, Pricilla type ruffles and padded pelmet or ruffled swag), or more formal styling (pinch pleats, bishops sleeve falls, tiebacks, and swagged valance) to suit a more traditional style.
Because you already have a lot going on in there colour wise you really don't need to add any via the curtains.
Also, you need the style of the curtains to match the style of the furniture or the viewer's eyeballs will twist right out of their heads trying to take in all the colour and styles going on.
