They need SOME light, but there are a huge number of low-light houseplants, derived from forest-floor dwellers, like most or all of what I've mentioned.

I went through a houseplant phase in the 1970s, into the 1980s. What I found was that plants required more light than I generally had. It is true that some plants will do OK in low light. But I really had trouble getting enough light to most plants.
I still love a hanging chlorophytum. I could never manage getting one to hang in a window that did not have wooden floors under it! I wish now for a place to put plants. Again I have too much hardwood or no space around windows.
I think that using a high quality wallpaper for background, and a few properly spaced big plants like those big philodendrons, the OP could create a tropical, if not exactly jungle, decor. But the plants do need some light.
Probably will cost some money to put it together but it should look interesting when its all done, I guess looking really full like a dense jungle is the idea, primitive objects and green, id even get some jungle music sounds playing in the room, and a humidifier, for mist..it depends on how far you want to take it...depends also if you want bamboo or ferns or some of Jungle birds theme
Your house, your rules, if you want to do something fun and creative go for it! Sounds neat, I’d want to check it out anyway haha. I admit if I did something like that I’d want to go all out and make everything fake but realistic, thus eliminating the need for plants that attract bugs (always happens to me, we have a zero tolerance policy for living plants in the house). I love the Rainforest Cafe, it’s a favorite of mine, so this sounds cool. It would be fun if it was a larger room to go wild with it and even have hidden speakers built into the foliage that played rainforest sounds. Like you could escape into this rainforest right inside your house.
