Thank you so much for your advice! That clarifies a lot of my doubts. Do you know any plants that would be a better option in these conditions?

Next to a window can be a decent spot for some plants, as long as it really is a big, bright window, and very close. Ficus benjamina has a reputation for being one of the tallest that is able to do OK in that kind of situation, and some kinds of Dracaena known to grow more slowly - 'Janet Craig Compacta' and striped or solid green "lucky bamboo" (D. braunii / sanderiana), a self-heading Philodendron or heart-leaf Phil. vine, Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema, comes in many colors and sometimes the plain green A. modestum), and I've seen some great ZZ plants in similar spots.

Tiffany's advice is great, as always. You should probably also do some research into what will grow in the room. Which direction is the window facing? Does the corner you want the plant to occupy get any direct sun (how many hours?) or bright indirect light? Do you want something easy (recommended) or more difficult (avoid ficuses)? You might wander around some big box stores and maybe an Ikea, and then visit some local nurseries to get advice from people who actually know plants. (Tip: snap pics of the tags of any plants you like, then look them up online when you get home. Always search for the Latin name if you can, as ten different unrelated species can share the same common name.)

Avoid anything that wants full sun. There are plenty of shade loving plants that do well indoors if you don't over or under-water them. I'm partial to philodendrons and monsteras (not the same thing), but they might need to spend a few years on a plant stand before getting big enough to fill the corner.

I have an Areca palm indoors (In the U.K.) that almost looks like a miniature version of the one you posted (although I must admit not as impressive!). It gets a lot of light from both sides of my house but no direct sunlight and is thriving.

If your floors are smooth like the pic, you could always put a pot on a wheeled platform & keep right in front of the window, then push aside if/when it's in the way of something. If that is practical, and it could be in front of the window most of the time, the possibilities increase dramatically.

Some plants indeed love indirect sunlight so they are suitable for indoor decoration, but most of them also need fresh air just like the way they live in nature. Indoor plants that used as indoor decoration in banks or offices are replaced almost every 2 weeks to keep their beautiful appearance. If you wanna grow them indoor, beside light requirement, air circulation also important. On pic above, some palm are considered indoor plant. They can retain leaves longer under shade. If you have good air circulation, they can live very long indoor. But if you keep them in closed room, with AC on, it's will be like in a bank.. need to bring them outside every 2 weeks.
