One of Google’s entries in the software arena is called SketchUp. It’s an architect’s tool but it’s very easy to use and has home applications as well. One home application would be to lay out where all the furniture would go in a room. It’s a lot easier than moving sofas and chairs around. There are two versions. including a free edition that can be downloaded here. Here’s some description from Google:

Google SketchUp 6 is a free, easy-to-learn 3D modeling tool that enables you to explore the world in 3D. With just a few simple tools, you can create 3D models of houses, sheds, decks, home additions, woodworking projects - even space ships. And once you’ve built your models, you can place them in Google Earth, post them to the 3D Warehouse.

There is also a new Google blog devoted to SketchUp topics.
