ATK!!!

Hello everyone, long time no see!
Recently I've decided to go along a new route with my tank which will require some scaping. Here's the tank currently:
As you can see there is a rather large hole on the right that I mean to fill with foliage (apologies for the burnt out image, only had my phone on me). I've been hunting around but I can't quite decide on things to go for so I hoped you guys would have some ideas. There is some Sumatran bogwood which could be utilised here for plants as well as a nice area of substrate. I wasn't really thinking of a carpeting plant as that role is slooowly being filled by the green crypts around the front area. Instead I was thinking of a small leaved stem plant of some sort, but of course if you guys have better ideas then please feel free to suggest them!
Also non plant ideas may be a possibility, who knows! The tank itself is a Juwel Rio 180 so I have a fairish amount of space, maybe 40cm vertical room for these plants if they should so need it. However as you may be able to see, I have already got a Nymphea lotus style plant which takes up most of the light in this area so no uber light dependant plants can be kept here. I also do not dose ferts or CO2 so that knocks out a few possibilities.. Anyways, fire away!
