For outdoor landscaping any plant that returns yr after yr.....the Hostas is a nice leafy plant that tends to cover empty or bare spots nicely, butterfly bushes and the laurel type trees are also popular,any flower bearing ground covering perennial is nice.
If you're trying to have plants for only indoor use, it doesn't matter what zone you're in. Depending on what lighting you have, I would recommend philodendron, gardenia, cyclamen, English Ivy, ficus trees, African violets, gerbera daisy, gloxinia... have fun decorating!
