Fun house plants - ideas

Hi there

I would like some ideas on house plants. I currently have quite a few small cactus, a dragon tree (DRACAENA MARGINATA) a Kentia palm (HOWEA FORSTERIANA), a ponsietta, hyacinths on my kitchen worktop and a wonderful terrarium.

I have a couple of corners of the house that are a bit dark and would love something to put on top a corner table. Would a peace lilly or snake plant work well there? What else would look good?

 Thanks so much!!

    Many yrs ago I had a stag horn fern in my north-facing bathroom - it done well for several years, but they do need some humidity, and it certainly looks different

    Peace lilly would do well there as you suggest

    Depends how dark your corners are. I have Peace Lillies,Christmas Cactus and Orchids and all do well.
