Entrance halls of houses are usually shady with some drafts. Considering this you can grow plants with strong foliage, flowering plants that need less light and that can tolerate drafts, plants with dark green leaves or plants with waxy leaves.
Stairs and landings are usually cool places with indirect sunlight. In such places, you can grow plants with large foliage, flowering plants that prefer cool places like cyclamen or azalea, and also trailing foliage plants.
Living rooms are most often warm with lots of bright light. In such places, you can grow most indoor plants (foliage or flowering), seasonal pot plants, cacti and succulents, bottle gardens.
Dining rooms are usually warm places with lots of indirect sunlight. In such places, you can grow most indoor plants (foliage or flowering), seasonal pot plants, small plants in grouped arrangements, bottle gardens or terraria.
Kitchens usually have fluctuating temperatures, lots of drafts and steam. Considering this most suitable plants for kitchens are herbs, plants with thin, papery leaves and tolerant plants like geraniums.
Bathrooms usually have fluctuating temperatures and lots of steam. In such places, you can grow plants that need high humidity like ferns, dramatic foliage plants, trailing foliage plants or tolerant houseplants like chlorophytum.
Main bedrooms are often warm with bright light. You can grow flowering indoor plants, including grouped arrangements of seasonal plants chosen to match the decor of the room or foliage plants.
Spare bedrooms are often kept cool with indirect sunlight. Such places are most suitable for foliage plants, overwintering plants, seeds and cuttings and flowering plants that are between blossoming seasons.

Sreten null
Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
