Of your photos above, I would choose the ZZ plant, Zamioculcas zamiifolia for that room you intend to grow in it. It is in the 2nd photo to the left. I have them here in my living room and they do quite fine in a north facing window. There was a time I have it way at a corner just getting very little light by late afternoon already. Very low maintenance, drought tolerant and leaves stay shiny green. Just be mindful of watering, it has very fat roots and thick succulent- like stems that holds water very well.

Dracaenas are okay too, but I do find that at least some bright indirect light is best for it.
