IKEA markets decor art, in the form of graphics and photographs in
large format, poster-quality prints. It's actually a great market to
try to get into as a photographer ... hard to get in, of course, but
they order accepted images in large volumes, printed on low cost,
high production printing engines to a reasonable quality standard. I
know a couple of guys who make a hefty chunk of money selling a photo
to business like this.
Might be worth stopping into the Emeryville IKEA store (on a weekday
morning to avoid the crowds... ;-) and poking around, Shel.

There's one about 10 miles from my house. It was the reference to

store,
never seen their wares, and certainly am unfamiliar with their
posters.
