Lately, I have been thinking of putting some indoorplants in the living room etc. Can you people please give me some suggestions on which indoor plants to 'bring home'. Also, some tips and advice on which ones are easier to take care of will be useful, since I am kind of lazy.
Thanks in advance.

Butterfly palm is very easy to take care of and it's meant for indoors.

Bamboo and Peace lily are both very indoor plants. Just follow simple instructions when you bring them home!

Bamboo will survive negligence but peace lily won't if you don't water it every 2 days or so because the soil has to be moist. Go for bamboo if you want a low maintenance plant.

Buy this. You don't need to water it at all.

Can't go wrong with a simple Money Plant. It's just awesome, and can take as much abuse as you throw at it. Give it some love, and it grows like a weed!
In essential, any plant can become an indoor plant. Grow it in a pot, and it's an indoor plant. Some are more finicky than other, in terms of heat/coldness/water, and it's a learning experience. My mom has a giant Elephant's Ears ( http://cherylsgardengoodies.files.wo...09-02-08-4.jpg) growing in her living room, and that's the kind of stuff you find growing outside in the tiny backyard of people's homes in Pakistan. So that should give you an idea 
Also, generally lillies are harder to grow inside, as well as orchids.
Also, check out this website to locate some simple easy to take care of plants

I don't think I am capable of keeping plants alive, even the indoor ones. Do get a bamboo tree, but I did manage to kill that too, slowly.
What good am I if i can't be me.

hahaha, good idea hareem. But I don't want plastic plants. They totally beat the idea of keeping plants indoor.
