1 Nephi 1:7
* Our homes should be environments where we can feel the Spirit and receive revelation.
Lehi's home served two purposes in this example -- First, it was a place he could GO after receiving one vision and recover (or bask in the Spirit, or whatever.) Second, it was a place for him to receive further revelation. Ideally, our homes would create an atmosphere where both of these things can happen.
In addition, my own opinion is that, while cleanliness is part of that environment, it is the relationships in the home that affect that Spirit more.

I agree. Since having kids, I've decided that I need a haven, a quiet place if you will, that I can go to and relax, recover from the noise and receive any revelation that I may need at the time. Right now it's our extra spare bedroom, but with the computer here, I can't relax as well, so I am working on making our bedroom that place. The kids won't be able to come in there and I will have a comfy place to sit and read and relax.
