Default Houseplant recommendation - shady location

Some Aroids such as Anthuriums might work (some are spreading or even
hanging). There's a beautiful Boston fern, frilly, tripinnate, grows maybe
6-8" tall in an 8" basket and hangs 2 1/2 - 3'. It's called Irish Lace and
is an extremely forgiving plant.

om...
I need a recommendation for a house plant. We have a 2' ledge in our
bathroom above the door. It is approx. 2' deep, and 6' long and there
is a skylight located directly above the ledge approx. 4' above the
shelf. What types of plants will grow well in this semi-shady area?
Currently we have a succulent vine which is not doing well in the
area. I'm not sure the exact name of the plant. It appears to be
suffering from a lack of light. It did do well in another area where
it received more light. The skylight does receive a good bit of
sunlight but is slightly tinted.

What types of plants, ideally vines, do well in semi-shady areas?

Thank you for your assistance
Brian
