I seem perpetually cursed with asymmetrical spaces and sorting them out proves to be the bane of my existence far longer than it should. My dining room features a solid wood folding screen to break up the sound slapping around in there with one wall almost entirely covered with automotive truck carpet. It's designed to absorb noise in a steel box so it does ok to kill some echo. The chair, if you want to call it that (I call it the listening throne), is a 5 foot wide round, soft, brown deal that swivels. It's big enough to curl up in and nap if I like. I listen kicked way back in it with my legs up, feet sole to sole. The front wall is treated with some very oddly textured foam rubber along with an area of rubber backed carpets concealed by a metallic dark grey embroidered curtain. The wall behind me is a patchwork of typical V grooved foam, some 36 sq/ft, speed out by 5 or so inches horizontal, 2 inches vertical. My lamp is a tall square paper deal that seems to be fairly transparent. My laser machines are in corners to either side of me.
The speakers are probably oversized for the space and I err on the side of absorbtion as opposed to diffusion. I've experimented with that and it didn't really get the job done. I think it sounds decent given the space. I'm getting wide, deep, detailed images and balanced bass without any noticable peaks. I think that's what most of us are groping for.
