I grow a lot of plants indoors, and the limiting factor is almost always light levels. If your space for growing has a large west or south facing window, you're in great shape! You will be able to grow most plants.
However, East or North facing windows will be able to grow low light plants, or need full spectrum (5000k) lighting.
Easy bright light plants include succulents, pony tail palms, avocados, bananas, and most herbs.
Plants that tolerate or thrive in low light are pothos, spider plants, parlor palms, the bromeliads, snake plants, and english ivy.
Of these, I suggest a spider plant, they're very hardy, nearly impossible to kill, and even don't mind being a little root bound.
Succulents require more patience, but are also fairly easy. Be sure to not overwater, and make sure they have enough drainage! Some indoor gardeners grow theirs in a mix of gravel and pine bark, in order to completely drain, and just fertilize every watering.
The most important thing is don't try orchids at first. Finicky things.
