Take a look at the major power consumers in your house.
You have HVAC. Refrigeration. Your washer. Your dryer. And your dishwasher.
Each one of those things is inherently a form of energy storage, because you don't need any of those to start up or stop at the same milisecond where you flip the switch.
What's left?
Lighting.
Entertainment.
Communication.
All of these you do expect to consumer power on demand without any time slack. But the major loads I listed above can defer to the minor loads that demand that kind of priority.
So with a little TCP/IP to coordinate activities around your house, your need for power storage declines considerably.
