I never used to keep bikes indoors, due to lack of space and a very busy household.
But for my most recent build I just could face keeping it in my bike shelter or shed, plus the time taken to get it out and unlock it devalued the efforts of putting together a fast bike.
So I forcably made a space, and have been very happy I did so. I ride my bike more and bits like the chain are staying in better shape.
If you have high ceilings you could get a pulley system , they get im in lidl from time to time.
Oh and lastly, I notice you mention that you have a QR on the rear? - I had a fixed wheel setup like that, caused a few hair raising incidents due to wheel popping out.
