The room is a rectangle measuring 10'-11'...it has windows on one side...the speakers are at that side as well....on left side is mirror wardrobe so  cant do much on that side...

will put a picture later....

Any suggestion of changing stuff for betterment is highly appreciated....dont want to spend 1000$ in treatment yet...

Hey bro!  I'd suggest rigid fiberglass or Bonded Logic.  Much better broad band absorption than foam.  Just buy a few good ones at a time rather than grey foam all over the place.  Remember, you have dipole and seem to like a lively sound, so don't take too much reflection away.  Ceiling and other first reflection points are a good idea to tackle right away.  Is your head very near the rear wall?

Both offer nice fabric colors, or prints or even ones with custom pictures or art on them.  Will keep the wife happy!  I like to see at least 2" material, but 4" is preferred.

Here is a test I did with foam.

Stay away from the foam.  Use 1 inch 703 if thickness is a space issue and you will get better results than with foam.

Before you purchase any treatments measure your room or have a consultant analyze the room. Your room is almost square which has special requirements. Just throwing money at it or guessing is a waste of your time and money.

Yeah, square rooms are horrible.  For higher frequencies you can try a skewed speaker/listener layout, but bass is the real problem in most rooms and especially the square ones.  Our (AC) normal acoustics vendors, Glenn and Ethan, would be your best, low cost source for advice.

Yeah and dump any foam (unless you like the look  ), it's pretty much useless, again especially for lower frequencies.

And BTW, diffusion only works for higher frequencies too (1,000 Hz and above).

I will agree with the advice concerning using Owens 703. I have used both foam and the 703 fiberglass and I achieved better results with the 703
