My parents' house is similar, although theirs is a cumulation of stuff my brother and I left (I sort and throw out another box whenever I go down to visit, but there's still a lot of crap there), my mother's boxes of yarn to be knitted and old gardening/home improvement magazines, stuff from when my mom's parents died that didn't fit in the storage unit, and Dad's training materials for his workshops.
Dad's in the process of remodeling my brother's old room with shelves for the work materials, which should help. The imminent grandchild is also providing incentive to get things in some sort of order, but, well, we usually hang out on my parents' bed because there isn't really anywhere else to sit.
