We have literally not a single plant in our apartment, and I'm sick of it! We need some green! But I have no idea what to start with.

FWIW we're in the far nordics near the arctic circle, so conditions in places like windows vary quite wildly throughout the year, from occasionaly hot and long summer days to cold and very short winter days.

Not really fuzzed about beautiful flowers, just leaves, vines, will keep us happy. Maybe succulents?

Would appreciate any advice :)

I agree with this post except for the succulent bit. Cheap LED lights can provide enough light to grow and prop succulents. They are hardy and withstand a fair amount of neglect. I live in zone 4-5. I setup my succulent collection in the garage over winter with 12/12 light. It was cold enough some froze completely and had bits die off. If the picture posts you can see they survived all that torture.
