Do you have windows to provide light? Will you be using supplemental lighting? How warm/cool do you keep your home during winter? Ae there any pets or small children that might try to chew/eat plants? Knowing that information could narrow down suggestions and recommendations. Thank You!
(For example, at 62F my house is waaaaay to cold during the night to keep a houseplant happy!)

Kind of a wide open question without some context of light, your experience level, expectations, etc as greene said.
I ditto Christine- except begonias -in between growing like mad, they seem prone to sudden death for me.
Add Peace lily (Spathiphyllum) which is easy to find. and
Philodendron, commonly a trailing one that looks a lot like pothos. LuckyBamboo is sometimes also sold in a small pot, and I think most Dracaena are easy.
Aglaonema- easy, one of these newer ones with red or pink markings is the last plant I spent money on.
Common Phalaenopsis blooming orchids flowers last a long time.
Plant it and they will come.

Available light in the specific locations you have in mind for plants should be your starting point. If you don't have a good match between the available light and the particular plant species, nothing else you do will matter.

The above question was all we had to work with. We did the best we could. Confused Blinking

Hmmmm...When you ask a general question and don't provide any information, we can only give you general answers. Thank You! I tip my hat to you.

You could go almost anywhere, I think, given your knowledge and resources. So my only suggestion is start with small plants and have fun watching them grow. And find a good online vendor, orchids maybe, get something more special than the usual big box stores.

I had a Streptocarpus last year, under the lights in winter it grew like crazy, once started blooming, I moved it to my bedroom and the blooms kept coming a long time.
Plant it and they will come.

Cacti? This is one of my favorites. Easy to grow and I love the way the spines curve into a sort of daisy shape. And it doesn't bite. Smiling
