Here are some ideas. Ficus (there are variegated forms).  Codiaeum (croton) has
very interesting colorful foliage and leaf form. Dieffenbachia, foliage colors
is different patterns of white and green. Eucalyptus which have aromatic
leaves, blue or green. Felicia grows well indoors-nice blue daisies with yellow
centers. A vine or climber like Hedera, Jasminum, Manettia, Cissus, Senecio or
Passiflora trained on a moss stick or some kind of wire bended to your desire
could look nice. There are certain kind of Impatiens that will grow 2-3ft high
PLUS they can flower all year round. Sansevieria (mother-in-law's tongue) is
also good. Those are some that can be of interest. There are definately plenty
more. Others might send you more ideas. Check out at VG if you do not know some
of the plants I listed above. Have fun searching.
