What types of plants that require little to no light. My house has very few windows and most of the day my curtains are closed. Would love to bring in some plants to liven up the living areas. Right now most of my plants (ivys, cactus,palms) are outside.

is there a reason your curtains have to stay closed?

I'd like to know too - about the plants, not why your curtains are closed!

Pothos has always done well for me in low light - they thrive in it.

Plants "eat" light, so putting them in an environment with little natural light is like asking you to eat nothing but ramen noodles all winter. Peace lily, pothos and aspidistra can tolerate low light for a few months but take them out to more light in spring.

Snake plants (hate the name, but that's what I have always called them :) they live through almost anything!

Pothos, spathiphyllum, sanseveria, aspidistras are all good low light plants, but would all benefit from having some natural light!
