I have two corners I would like to hang plants. One is about 12' from a south-west face window and the other is about 10' from a south-west face window. Any recommendations?
Low light, indoor plants
Some plants that tolerate low light are pothos, peace lily, wandering jew, chinese evergreen, zz plant, ferns, orchids, snake plant, parlour palms, arrowhead plant, dracaenas, rainbow moss, dieffenbachia, ivy.
Not all of these plants will thrive in low light, but they will survive. Most prefer medium or indirect bright light, and any plant you get should be near a window.

Suggestions for very low light plants?
Ok so no plant will thrive with no light. Some can stay alive but they won’t grow as fast or as bushy as if they were in bright indirect light.
That said, there are a few that will endure if you can give them a little view of the sky. Zz plants and rubber plants are ok with fluorescent, and you might be able to grow spindly looking Pothos, Philodendrons and Monsteras. Peace lilies do ok too, as well as prayer plants. Don’t get any succulents, they’ll die a slow torturous death, as will hoyas and peperomias.
Now, I cannot stress this enough: do not overwater a low light plant, it’ll kill it really quickly. Water is related to light, and if they’re not getting any light, they won’t use the water and will rot quickly. This is the reason I don’t recommend palms or dracaenas, they drown quick. Get a hidrometer and you should be fine. Good luck!

Zz plants, snake plants, spider plants can also do fairly well in lowish light. I've also had a fair amount of luck with holiday cacti in not huge amounts of light.
