I have a client's large house thats like that, after using electrostatic cloths to dust and having him get a vacuum with a HEPA filter its improved greatly. I also use Swiffer disposable dusters from the Dollar Tree, and the electro static cloths in the yellow package. I also vacuum my furniture regularly. Wash drapes at least 2x year. Make sure windows have a good seal.

I hate to say it, but even with getting vents cleaned, you will have dust. Wind makes it worse. If you open your doors and windows to help with cooling down your home you will get lots of dust. Shoot, just opening the door to go in and out makes it worse. If you have pets, that doesn't help the situation either. For the pets, wiping them down with a damp towel several times a day will help. While doilies and coverlets for furniture are, to many, tacky, that is how I keep from having to dust. I shake them out about every 10 days and completely change them out monthly. If you have carpet free floors, sweeping them daily will also help. There is no way to be 100% dust free 100% of the time.
I live in the desert so I use Staticide on all my hard surfaces. They use it in military installations to prevent static electricity. It helps but we still have alot of dust :(
