There are some lovely window shelves available online if space is a problem. That would keep your plants to maybe miniatures or smaller vines, some trailing african violets for color but they still fit in small places.
Then again if you only have one window you may need it for the AC or fresh air. You are the only one who can determine what you can use. As for ideas of different plants you can get, It depends on what you want to enjoy, cactus, flowers, vines, spider plants work in all sorts of light and the help cleanse the air......what kind of plants are you looking for Joe? Foregive me for asking if already that has been covered. I did not have time to read the entire thread.
