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 :)

Depends what do you mean by "doesn't need a large amount of light". It does need light. It can survive with little light but it will be feeble, light in colour, streched and generally weak looking. It will survive, yes, but it will love lots of light though.
