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 :)

In addition to already excellent suggestions I'd throw in Ficus benjamina as well. Not the variegated type, the regular one because the variegated one needs tad more light. Once it gets growing it's fairly tough and forgiving. Easy to propagate from branches too.
