I am a minimalist, no throw pillows, nothing but a lamp on end tables. No quilts on sofa or chairs, nothing laying around. Everything has a place and is put away at bedtime. When I had a pet it was trained to sleep on his blanket so it made it easy to clean up. It's amazing how easy it is to keep things clean and how fast it is to clean house. My husband is also very tidy so no problems with his stuff all over the place either.
