When choosing plants for a particular indoor location, you must assess the light and temperature that the plant will be exposed to. Also be aware if it's a location subject to draft conditions.
If the plant is a flowering plant it may require certain conditions in order for it to repeat flowering.
I would say that light is probably the most important factor in indoor gardening. Most indoor plants are classified by high, medium and low light conditions.
The following are a list (by no means complete) of plants which are good starters for indoors:
Aspidistra elatior - Cast Iron Plant
Crassula argentea - Jade Plant
Dieffenbachia amoena - Dumb Cane
Ficus elastica - Indian Rubber Tree
Sansevieria trifasciata - Snake Plant

If you are able to place your plants close to the window so they get some natural lighting, I agree that African Violets should do well for you. If your plant is going to be placed a bit back from the window, perhaps a Spathophilium. It is available in a solid green leaf as well as a varigated variety, so even when it is not flowering, it is still an attractive plant for low light situations.
