Our Story:
Learn More About Why We Transform Spaces
We are an independent, female-owned, Toronto-based biophilic design company specializing in sustainable and maintenance-free plant installations. We create restful, welcoming spaces by using natural materials to bring the beauty and tranquillity of nature indoors. Ultimately, we hope that by rebuilding the bridges between the human and natural world, we can inspire people to invest in the environment as a way of investing in themselves and the future.
Our Work Is…
Sustainable & Eco-Friendly
All projects are made with naturally grown, preserved plants and mosses. Some material is sourced mainly from France, Italy, Norway and Spain. The plants will not wilt, grow, nor put out pollen or spores resulting in ever-green artwork that requires no maintenance.
Creative & Customized
We regularly collaborate with interior designers, architects, and project teams to ensure each installation aligns with broader design intent and technical requirements.
Our process is structured yet creative — combining conceptual design, material exploration, and precise execution to deliver work that is both expressive and professionally integrated.
Design Philosophy
At The Indoor Forest, we approach every project as an opportunity to reintroduce nature not as decoration, but as structure, form, and experience.
Our installations are designed to evoke the same sense of grounding and presence found in natural landscapes, translated into sculptural, architectural expressions within built environments. We work with preserved botanicals, natural materials, and spatial composition to create pieces that feel both intentional and alive.
Creative Direction
Our work is guided by a balance of artistry and precision.
Each installation is developed as a site-specific composition, considering scale, light, movement, and materiality. Whether designing a sculptural moss feature, a bark-clad tree, or an immersive environment, we focus on creating pieces that integrate seamlessly into their surroundings while standing as distinct focal points.

OUR MISSION
The Indoor Forest seeks to transform spaces into sanctuaries that evoke the peace and tranquillity people feel when they connect with nature. Using only natural materials, our installations employ a myriad of colours, patterns, and textures found in nature to improve mental, emotional, and physical well-being in any space. Our core beliefs echo the lessons learned from Mother Nature: sustainability, simplicity, and unity.
Stevie Klick
Founder/Creative Director
Many people have a green thumb. I have a green soul.
During the most challenging moments in my life, nature became my sanctuary, a place of stillness, clarity, and restoration. That experience shaped not only how I see the world, but how I design within it.
After beginning my career in finance, I quickly realized I was drawn to something fundamentally different. The environments I was working in felt disconnected, sterile, static, and removed from the natural systems that support human wellbeing. That contrast led me to study natural nutrition and medicinal plants, deepening my understanding of the powerful relationship between people and the environments they inhabit.
Today, that foundation informs my work as a biophilic designer.
What began as a personal connection to nature has evolved into a design practice rooted in the belief that our environments should not only function, they should restore, inspire, and connect us.
