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’m seconding the snake plant and spider plant recommendation! There’s lots of snake plant varieties, so try getting the ones that catch your eye :D As for succulents, you’ll have to research depending on the type of succulent. I know that popular social media has put out this misconception that succulents are set and forget plants but anyone who has tried to raise any amount of them would be able to tell you otherwise! Underwatering, overwatering, sunlight exposure amount (especially going to be a problem depending on how much light your apartment gets), etc, there’s a lot to mess up and different varieties are more demanding. Succs can be really fussy sometimes.
