From rough memory, IKEA has had apps or partnerships to enable consumers to build 3D models of their place with IKEA furniture. Those 3D models might be widely available as a result, which provides a fairly quick boost to any indie developer trying to build a game.

Wish it was that easy to extract the 3D models from their web designer utilities. I've made almost perfect design of the flat remodel before we hired the contractors earlier this year, and one major thing that was off was the use of generic furniture - I just couldn't afford to model the stuff myself (I did copy the color patterns and textures, though).
