Instead of cleaning their house, a family comes up with ways to work around the mess, like laying a blanket over the messy floor, and using suction cups to walk on the ceiling. I would have read this book in the early 80’s, but I’m not sure of the publishing date (or the actual title). It is a picture book.

Ooooo! It’s The Bananas Move to the Ceiling by Esther and Stephen Manes, illustrated by Barbara Samuels, published in 1983.
The Banana family had the messiest apartment in the neighborhood. Their floors were so full of junk they could hardly walk from room to room. But no one was willing to clean up. “I’ve got it!” cried Mrs. Banana. “Let’s move to the ceiling!”
Yes!
