I have a couple of interior planter beds that we are looking to put ground cover on that doesn't need a ton of light. Any suggestions of variety? The client keeps mentioning sedum but I don't see that doing too well indoor. Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm a fan of moss. It looks great. I believe you can get live or preserved varieties. Inhabitat did an awesome post on moss walls featuring Joe Zazzera of Plant Solutions. http://inhabitat.com/moss-walls-the-newest-tr ...

Depends on the light available.  You can use the humble Pothos or Philodendron to achieve a fast-growing groundcover, but maintaining it will be problematical if the bed is very deep (wide), because you can't walk on it.  Same goes for creeping fig, which gives a finer texture but can be a maintenance headache because of its millions of tiny leaves that will turn yellow when they age.  I'd opt for areas (swathes) of greenery planted in islands among a non-living topdressing like ProToast hardwood chips.
