small room acoustics

I've finally ordered my furniture for the new space I recently leased. I'm now locked into a gear/furniture layout plan for the room and I'm investigating where I can sneak in some acoustical treatment into this already overstuffed little room.

Today's question concerns corner bass traps and whether they should be symetrical. I only have one open corner in the room; two others have tall bookcases in them and the fourth corner has only 3 inches of wall surface before the entry doorway. This one corner seems like an ideal location for some floor-to-ceiling corner bass traps. But should this type of treatment be symetrical around the room? Can I configure this one corner as a black hole for all of the low end in the room, or do I need to come up with a more balanced approach somehow?

Thanks.

Steve
