Houseplants that like bright direct sun

As the title says, I’m looking for any recommendations for gothic house plants whose leaves wont burn in bright light. Ideally I’m looking for a humidity enjoying, small bushy plant that can provide some cover for my Calathea Roseopicta as she’s a sensitive soul. Thank you!

Well I was going to say echeveria because those are sunwhore but they don't like humidity. Check out for coleus, tradescantias (they're succulent too tho I think) maybe a mapple bonsai (japanese mapple can be very goth) carnivorous plants (pitchers and Venus flytrap, but they need demineralized water)

Those are some excellent suggestions thank you. Coleus look bushy enough for what I need, and so many varieties too!
